My favourite hotel in Wollongong is Novotel. The choice of which hotel to stay at can make a huge difference on your holiday experience. Novotel has a great location on the beach, great food and beverage, bars and restaurants. Clean, kid friendly. But mostly, one particular warm and friendly staff member: Trisha. I was lucky enough to check in to this hotel with this lovely attendant who understood my need for space, noise and privacy and she kindly changed my room allocation accordingly. That made all the difference. I've stayed at Novotel on several occasions and I'm now that I've found my favourite room, I'll happily book it a year in advance for my family holidays on the south coast.

The hotel was very clean, the staff are really friendly and helpful and the buffet breakfast had a great assortment. The location is perfect for close access to the beach and parks and the view from our room was wonderful. The only downfall was the beds. They were extremely soft and we were sinking in to them. Other than that, we had a great stay.

My room view was awesome, stuff was really good, the breakfast buffet was absolutely fantastic Specially providing halal meat I was speechless. The only downside was the hotel need full maintenance specially the doors it was so hard open. The car park was even worse 😫. And last thing the pool it was advertised heated pool but it wasn't

Terrible experience ! Cockroach infestation 😳🤢🫣 Staff at reception were far from premium customer service oriented Paid high rate for a good room with breakfast included but they put us in budget room , and excluded breakfast , the room was dirty ,with blood Stains and so hard to sleep at night with the street noise , we suppose to have ocean view balcony but all we could was these trees , one second we smile with the sound of the ocean but next we feel upset with the loud cars or running mortorbikes and honks , it felt like we were staying in a cheap motel ! The carpet is so dirty my toddler feet got black within few min while unpacking I think the other good reviews must be fake! I got to say that our maid was a jewel, happy and always willing to help

Booked a two bed, ocean view balcony room for my elderly mother's birthday. When we checked in, they told us there was a wedding on in the hotel and gave us a print out explaining there would be a noise curfew of 10pm. It's perfectly understandable that a wedding means more guests and more noise, and 10pm is very reasonable. The room was definitely not one they would use for advertising pictures - yes we could see the ocean but only just, it was largely obscured by trees and if you actually sat on the chair, you couldn't see it at all. The vast expanse of a very tired looking roof from a different part of the hotel stretched in front of our balcony, and it was certainly not the idyllic relaxing ocean view in the advertised pictures. The music noise from the wedding thumped through our walls until midnight. Not 10pm, midnight. I couldn't believe that I paid $700 for a room that meant we couldn't sleep until after 12am. I won't return. The staff, while polite and cheery, were operating at a surface level - they didn't ask me how the stay was when I check out (if they had, I would have told them my thoughts), and when they asked on check in what brought us to the Novotel I told them it was for my mother's birthday (who was standing alongside me) and they said 'oh okay'. Also, the parking is terrible. It's $30 overnight and we got the last spot - we didn't want to drive anywhere in case we lost it, as hotel guests have to compete with anyone else who wants to use it and pay by the hour. I won't return, it was an absolute exuberant price for very basic and unsatisfactory accommodation. If the room was $200 I wouldn't be so upset. But $700, for ONE night, plus parking and meals, and this was our experience? Very disappointing.
