Coniston Hotel Wollongong

6/10 Okay

"The room was really spacious and had obviously been beautifully renovated during the ongoing renovation work. Unfortunately for us the hotel was still very much a work in progress. I’m sure when it is completed the overall rating will be much higher. For now though I would be inclined to give it a miss. During our stay the bistro was out of commission meaning that we had to drive around Wollongong looking for somewhere to eat, easier said than done given the difficulty finding parking."

Five Islands Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were great and super helpful, room was clean with ample coffee and milk supplies. Also rate the night sleep extremely comfortable bed 👏💪 would definitely stay again if needed to. Thank you "
