Cannot fault the location. Great spot right on the beach and walk to local park. Staff very friendly. There were two downsides to what could be a great review. First we chose to pay extra and selected a room with a view because it looked out at the beach. Would have been fantastic if we could see through the thick... more

We had a great stay here. The room was spacious and clean with a great, great view. The staff was accomodating and helpful. They made us toast in the middle of the night since we were still jet lagged even though it was not "supposed" to be available. Everything was clean and good. I thought this was a three star... more

My wife and I spent a weekend in this establishment to celebrate our anniversary. The location is spectacular as the hotel is sited along the beach. The hotel presentation is very Novotel .ie. bland and boring. The hotel claims to have a 41/2 star rating but i don't think it gets anywhere to this standard. I think the hotel management... more

Stayed at North Beach for a conference. Room had been recently renovated and was a modern business person's dream. Plenty of power points, clean, tidy. The room aircon was set just right. Hotel is well located for having morning walks. I fyou liek to exercise, then I can recommend the beach walk/running track along the foreshore. more

We stayed overnight at the Novotel on our journey from Melbourne to Sydney. The views from the room over the beach were lovely. I think the price of $220 room only was a little steep considering we didn't arrive till 7pm. There was not much to do around and we just stayed in and watched a movie. more

We chose to stay at this hotel because it is supposedly the best in Wollongong and because it offered wheelchair accessible accommodation. We stayed for 3 unsatisfactory days and will not return. We have learned over the years that wheelchair access in hotels can be hit and miss and sadly a higher price is no guarantee that the facilities will... more

Decided to get away for a couple of days south of Sydney and decided on the Novotel as it didn't demand a two night minimum. The hotel itself is large and somewhat uninspiring - the interior is much as you would expect of a Novotel with relatively bland interiors but clean and spacious sized rooms. We had booked and ocean... more

Stayed here on the weekend during summer. Ok its peak season but the Gong is hardly Monaco and the rate paid (std room), whilst not high, was terrible value as it would have bought rooms in quite a few 5 star hotel in the Sydney CBD during the same period. Ocean view rooms are advisable to avoid staring at the... more

We stay in an ocean view room in the 10th floor in December 2008. It is one of the best ocean view rooms we have stayed in. However, we did not find the beds to be comfortable as the mattress had a "saggy" feel to it-perhaps it has reached it use-by-date. The bath looks like it needs some refurbishment soon.... more
