This modern hotel (which I believe has some link to the IBIS chain), is managed by the University of Wollongong, and is available to the public during December and January. The hotel is about 10 mins walk from the railway station, 5 mins to the free city loop bus and 10 mins - 15 mins to the beach. The rooms... More

Stayed overnight in a single room (double bed). Comfortable, clean and fairly quiet. Advertised queen bed felt more like a double and aircon was a bit touchy. Plenty of free underground parking at check in time but returning after a wedding (midnight) parking was full. Luckily on street parking was free and untimed on weekends so not too much hassle....

What a great place to stay! We over nighted here in the middle of a long road trip. Arrived tired and a bit wrung out. Staff were really helpful, service was swift and good. Rooms are tiny, but well fitted out, the hotel is close to everything and the staff were great.

We were in Wollongong for a friends wedding and stayed here for one night (Saturday night). The room was small, as others have mentioned, but it was very clean and the bed was comfy - and for $100 we thought it was excellent value. The rooms are well equipped (iron, ironing board, small fridge, window which opens for fresh air!)... More

Accommodation was basic but the room was comfortable and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is located close to shops and restaurants, a little further from the waterfront. Underground parking was included in the cost. Breakfast was cereal, yoghurt, bakery and fruit as the cafe is not yet fully operational.

We ended up in Wollongong on an unplanned visit and found this hotel by chance. What a great find! It's nothing fancy, but it's clean, comfortable, close (walking distance) to everything and very reasonably priced. We checked in late and were welcomed by friendly staff. We had a queen and single bed and although the room was small, it was... More

Central location close to free Wollongong shuttle bus and restaurant strip. Stayed here on a weeknight outside university semester (hotel recently acquired by University of Wollongong). Efficient and cheerful staff. The room was small but well appointed with desk, linen cupboard, updated bathroom, carpet. One plus was that the window could be opened, and the room had a pleasant view... More
