Coniston Hotel Wollongong
The staff was really friendly upon our arrival despite it being really late. We had booked connecting rooms and got locked out of one of them, but the staff was helpful to help us open the door. The rooms are pretty cozy and spacious, and bathrooms are pretty big. Easy too given there is onsite parking. ...

Sage Hotel Wollongong
Front desk staff went above and beyond with service. Rooms were clean and spacious, great choices for breakfast and good location. Loved the still and sparkling water on tap in the reception area.

Harp Hotel
The room was clean, the beds comfortable, and the sound of the pub was significantly more reduced in the room. Fantastic! The only reason I don’t give a 5 star review is because I tend not to trust 5 star reviews

Mantra Wollongong
They don’t move the blinds to clean so there was dead bugs by the windows and under the bed was very dirty. Needs a Reno and a good clean! Spacious though and good if you have a dog.
