    it eas a nice place to stay. very friendly staff.

    parking was an issue when we got home later in the evening. even though it says one space per room, we booked two rooms with only one car and still had to park on the street.down the road

    The gentleman at reception was very friendly and helpful. Good location and parking available.

    It's not the most expensive hotel in Wollongong and yet I paid over $200 per night. I don't mind chipped cupboards (Who cares?) and I can cope with the armchairs that are well-worn and you wiggle about to find a non-lumpy spot where you can sit (It's Ok, it's an old hotel). I was more concerned about the fly screen door falling off its hinges, which meant I was unable to let the summer fresh air in. I was amused by the air conditioning, which made a racket, gave you a quick blast of cold air and then stopped for half an hour before you got the next blast.However, there was one thing I was unable to abide by. The bathroom still had the used soap from the previous guest, discarded shampoo and conditioner bottles in the shower recess and the wet, used washer draped over the shower screen. I was very disappointed, to say the least.

    10PeterPosted on: 2-3-2026

    For me , this is great location at fair price has a car park for large FWD vehicles short walk to an amazing harbour and beach walk and cafes

    10ShelbyPosted on: 1-31-2026

    Great location! Staff were lovely. Clean rooms. Comfy bed & pillows. Walking distance to what we needed. Cafe downstairs was great too.

    Little bit noisy from the cafe in the morning, but that was expected and we enjoyed the cafe ourselves.

    Great location and price!

    Air con wasn’t the best at cooling down the room and it was very loud.

    9SuzannePosted on: 1-26-2026

    Location was fantastic, close to beach and event. Easy walk to restaurants and with the addition of onsite parking made it an easy place to stay.

    8KarenPosted on: 1-25-2026

    The location was fantastic. The motel is very very dated and with modern upgrades could really be five star. Suspect lots of bachelor and hens groups book this motel at theMoment

    Very basic andVery dated, instant coffee only couldDoWith coffee pods

    10SuzanaPosted on: 1-25-2026

    Close to restaurants, shops and the beach.

    3GregPosted on: 1-24-2026

    The location is great, but that’s about it!

    The bathroom was tiny, dated and very poorly designed. One example is the bathroom sink: they have placed a glass shelf about 20cm above the sink….you can see the sink but cant use it when brushing your teeth or washing your face….and despite having a kitchenette, there are no plates, utensils or a dining table. The private balcony is super skinny, however better than not having one, but they could have at least provided a small table to put your coffee on…..

    7BiancaPosted on: 1-24-2026

    Location excellent as easy walk with young children to beach and park. Pity our two rooms booked were not next to each other but good that on the same floor. Practical space for families. Good parking. Cot supplied had mattress with it which was good.

    I ticked cot on booking.com but apparently it wasn’t listed on the hotels information.
