Top Wollongong Science Centre and Planetarium Hotel Reviews

Corrimal Beach Tourist Park

8/10 Good

"Staff throughout our stay were lovely and very accommodating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the staff. Lawn was well mowed but there was Bindis everywhere. Play area was ok, a little outdated but it was clean. Bathrooms were well maintained. We did enjoy our stay and the location was ideal for us."

Novotel Wollongong Northbeach

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and central. Across from beach. Issues with moths they were everywhere and cockroach in our bathroom. Some of the light switches and power points didn’t work in our room. But the room looked to be recently renovated, service was great. Pool wasn’t really heated as indicated and didn’t like location of sauna inside woman’s bathroom nor that they were separate to men’s. Coukdnt have a sauna with my husband. Kids activity room was spacious and good activities. North bar menu could be expanded on a bit more too."

Wollongong Serviced Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Older property, but in good condition. Rooms were clean and helpful staff. Safe underground parking and fantastic location for the city and beaches."

Surfside 22

10/10 Excellent

"Quick one night stop over on our way from Brissie to Melbourne. This was an absolute gem! Right in the heart of town with all the comforts you’d need. Plus an onsite sauna and plunge pool to relax after the big days drive. The staff and owners were very helpful and hospitable. Bonus coffee cart turned bar on site so you never had to leave! Would definitely stay again"

Sage Hotel Wollongong

8/10 Good

"Great customer service across all divisions. I would ask for a room not on the pool side next time due to noise."

The Palms Motel (Formerly Flinders Motel)

8/10 Good

"Good budget accommodation close to the town centre."

The Belmore Apartments Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"👍"

Adina Apartment Hotel Wollongong

10/10 Excellent

"great room, great amenities."

KULA Wollongong

8/10 Good

"Kula is a lovely property. The apartments are well presented, spacious and comfortable. The location is also great and walkable to the beach and mall. There were some issues with one of the lifts not working, however the team communicated quickly and clearly and it was rectified the next day. I would suggest the addition of stoppers on all of the doors, as they bang onto the wardrobe mirrors and could cause breakage. There is also one needed on the outside of the mirror bathroom cabinet. The balcony was great however unusable for most of the day as it was in full sun until the afternoon. Some shutters or shade to protect part of it would be great. The pool area was lovely and clean however a bit too cool for a swim. Overall a beautiful property and great value."
