The property was a bit on the dated side, and had a bit of a 1980s smell about the place. However, it was good value and in a terrific location in terms of being close to dining and drinking options in Wollongong. For an unfussed bloke staying alone it is a serviceable option.

Be on notice that on Friday and Saturday night there is very loud party/dance music at night, as (to be fair) the rooms are above the pub. When I checked in on Wednesday I wondered why there was a bowl of packets of ear plugs in the hall… perfectly fine and quiet on other nights. All good and comfy (basic) overall. Lots of dining options in walking distance. A dedicated parking lot which is a plus. And a good location.

Not happy with manditroy security payment
The hotel charged me $200 security deposit in normal hotels your credit card details are taken as security but not charged unless required.My sister and I are both elderly and this payment was insulting and unacceptable.To date I have not been refunded.

Venue is a nightclub in the evening which is fine but the window in the room is into a storeroom and the bathroom mould was disgusting. Seriously over priced for what it was. Staff at check in were lovely.

The room was great, very clean ensuite. The only downside was the noise Friday and Saturday nights from the disco, but I was warned about it. I just think if they are charging top dollar for the room I wouldn’t want that.

Booked room for Cold Chisel 50th anniversary at WIN Entertainment Centre. Harp was closest reasonably priced accommodation. Knew that some patrons had noise issues as Harp is a Karaoke venue 7 nights a week until 2AM. Harp makes no secret of this, warns customers and provides complimentary ear plugs. Some reviewers had also said that it is difficult to get to the parking lot at the rear of the hotel. As the date of the concert approached, these negative reviews began to worry me and I considered exercising my free cancellation option and looking elsewhere. However, there was no “elsewhere” under $500 a night so I decided to take my chances. I expected a poor night’ sleep with hotel management confirming my belief that the bars and karaoke would be full of concert patrons after the gig. Yes I could hear karaoke but nowhere near the volume mentioned in online reviews. It was just background noise requiring deliberate effort to figure out what the songs were. No need for ear plugs. I fired up YouTube on TV, found a white noise video (breaking waves) and set the timer for 60 minutes. Slept quite well in the very comfortable bed with perfect room temperature. As mentioned in the tick and flick section, staff were great, room was spotless and well equipped, and Google maps (Waze) directed me easily to the parking lot. In the end, great value for money and if I find myself heading to the WIN Entertainment Centre again I would happily stay again.
