Hotels near Lake Illawarra in Wollongong

Do NOT stay here!!! This is NOT a 3 star motel! NOT even a 1/2 star MOTEL would do this justice. The photos online are fake and not reflective of the decrepit state that the rooms are in! The rooms are disgusting, filthy and old -worse than a hovel! We turned around and asked for our money back which the owner (Mark) refused! This is false advertising and illegal! The owner told us that the motel has not been refurbished since 1980!! The place was revolting and we went to find alternate accomodation! We have yet to get our money back!! What a bad place and bad management!DO NOT STAY HERE!!

There are tables and chairs on the balcony, but the view is not good enough The service is super good, the service is very patient when calling the front desk, the light bulb broke when I went, it was very late at the time I came to fix it the next day, my attitude was super good and super patient

Very close to the beach, especially suitable for going out. There is a Chinese restaurant near 1 km, and the room is clean although it is a bit old. And parrots often fly to the balcony, you can feed them with bread, not afraid of people, just like you raise, a good experience! Recommended

The Coniston Hotel had a large, well appointed room with good amenities. The bed was very comfortable and there was a large screen tv. There is a large, free car park. The hotel’s bistro is very good. There is a good selection of well priced wines. The food is of a very high standard and the menu offers something for most tastes. The Spanish Garlic Prawns were a real delight and the Marinated Lamb Rump, served on a mushroom risotto, was also an excellent dish.

I stayed with my family of five, in a 2bdr apartment for 5 days and we loved it! Great facilities, clean and had all the amenities stocked and replaced daily! Also such a great location as it’s right at the city and near the beach, so we could walk everywhere or catch the free shuttle bus around town. It’s the perfect stay place for families and the staff are super helpful and friendly too! Only downside is that sometimes the apartments next door were a little bit noisy at night but not too much. And also the wifi was a bit annoying as it kept turning on and off, but other than that it was great!

The Pantry was brilliant, all the team were so helpful and friendly, I must mention that the bacon and egg roll was easily the best I’ve ever had, I also had the chicken stroganoff which was also great, so a particular mention for Jess, the chef, but the whole gang were fantastic.

Check in staffs are not friendly. Actually they never have been. Have been going to this place for the last two years only because of the location and we have always noticed the unfriendliness of the staffs. They not helpful either. The bistro food and drinks are over priced and food isn’t nice either. We booked deluxe studio room which according to my booking the room has wardrobe/closet and bottled water and our room didn’t have any of that. It was a very basic room. Don’t trust the pics on website as it’s misleading. However, thumbs up for the location and peaceful environment. Staffs and management needs to listen to the reviews and change their attitude of running the hospitality business.

The location is very good, right in the city center, next to the church and the police station, a few steps away is the commercial street and places to eat. It is also within walking distance to the beach. The hotel seems to be a business hotel. Although the room is not big, it is very comfortable. You can work in the lobby on the first floor. The lobby is very large. It is also an Italian-style restaurant. Many people drink coffee in the morning. The front desk is very friendly. Due to the rain, we borrowed umbrellas a few times. On the last day, we also stored our luggage and had a good time at the hotel. It is also very convenient to go there from Wollongong Station. We walked to the hotel, and the bus should also be accessible.

Stayed one night for a function in Wollongong. Reception is inside the bottle shop which is “very Wollongong” (I grew up there so I can say that! ) and was staffed by a friendly young man who did an excellent job. The room was very clean, quiet, private and surprisingly modern. It more than met our needs as somewhere to sleep (rather than somewhere you would want to spend hours in) so I would definitely recommend to others. It is adjacent to the large hotel and food facilities which is handy. Only suggestion for improvement: get rid of International Roast as the supplied coffee - yuck !
