The Bally Hotel is amazing. not only is it a Heritage building it offers great food, cold drinks and friendly staff as well. The Bally Hotel may not be in the heart of Wollongong but it sure is a great location for a function or just lunch or dinner. We held my husband's 40th Birthday party 🥳 upstairs and it was fantastic. Our guests loved the venue. The food was so delicious, the drinks nice and cold and the staff for our function were so friendly, even going above and beyond during the event ❤️. The wrap around verandah was a hit with our guests, loving the views from the escarpment to the sea. Organising the event was so easy and Jessica was a breeze to deal with and accommodating for those extra little requests. We highly recommend booking your function at The Bally Hotel. We will definitely be coming back. 😀🤩🙌
We held a reception upstairs and it exceeded our expectations! Bar staff were wonderful and the food was delicious. Jess was great at assisting us throughout the whole process and we would definitely recommend an event held here!
We just had my sons 30th upstairs in the function room tonight. Everybody has had a great night thanks to how wonderful the 2 staff members were. Thankyou so much to them both. Their service made it a great night.
The staff were amazing for my recent function- completely helpful and flexible with any changes. the food was just what we ordered and there was enough for everyone. The setting was ideal. We were so pleased with the service provided and all the accomodations provide- would recommend to anyone looking for a function venue.
Before now I have only ever used Google reviews to leave positive comments. Balgownie Hotel has stirred something in me that before tonight lay dormant. I am leaving a bad review. You may be asking “what could have possibly rattled this man so much that he has had to change his personal Google review policy?”. I’ll begin with the first problem: The wait. At a pub, I have never expected to wait longer than 20 minutes for my food. Balgownie Hotel had me wait 53 minutes. I never in my life thought I’d have to endure such hardship. The worst part of it was having to see patrons who had ordered after us, belonging to large groups, receive their food before us. The envy I had felt is indescribable. Onto the second problem: The food. I’m not even going to bother going into detail with this issue, as I’m sure you’re wise enough to piece it together, and frankly I have lost enough of my time to Balgownie already. As a final note, I feel it is necessary to make it clear that I do not cast sole blame upon the waiting service nor the kitchen staff. I am certain that both the wait and the food were the way they were due to illogical constraints put upon the staff and the quality of the produce which the kitchen has been provided. This is no doubt the responsibility of senseless management. Thank you for your patience and I hope you find this review helpful and maybe even constructive if you happen to be a Balgownie staff member.
