This is the third time I have stayed at this hotel over a period of years - the location is excellent as regards proximity to the beach, the many dining options close by as well as a very convenient free bus that takes you around Wollongong. However, for a four star hotel, I feel its' standard has slipped considerably this visit. Upon arrival, the room had clearly not been vacuumed properly, with remnants of snacks from the previous guests in multiple areas of the room. It took two complaints and four days for the room to be properly vacuumed! Also, I experienced one incident of staff going into my personal belongings and removing a couple of items (food related)! I also miss some of the complimentary items that were provided in the past, for example no vanity packs in the bathroom, no laundry bag or slippers.

We loved our ocean view room at 1003 nice room very clean and comfy. But I would actually would have preferred a microwave rather than a safe. Also what mini bar nothing there but tea and coffee. Slept the lounge one night the lounge is very hard and the spare blanket is very rough and hot to use. Other than those things lovely stay wasn’t disturbed and staff were helpful.

My family and I enjoyed a three-night stay at the Novotel Wollongong for a relaxing weekend away. The hotel's location was great, easy walking distance of the beach and local eateries. Our room was excellent, clean, and comfortable! The small courtyard (perfect for our curious toddler) with an ocean view was a surprise. We even got a daily bird visits! A minor thing, a smart TV would've been a perfect addition though. We loved the swimming pool with a bar serving drinks and light snacks – the perfect place to chill for a whole day. It also had sauna. The breakfast buffet had a good variety of options. The parking was $35 per day and they charge extra for credit card fees. But overall, the staff was good, and my family and I had a wonderful experience.
