Novotel Wollongong Northbeach
The staff was great. Hotel is in the perfect locations. There were kids Christmas activities which was amazing. The downside is the parking. Too narrow and too low in height. The car was scratched even while opening the boot which managed to hit the low roof.

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.
