Susan C. Couples - 4/2/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

The overall experience was very pleasant. Everything was good. The only slight negative was that the room service person who delivered our breakfast forgot the cutlery and then, when he returned brought one napkin for 2 people and 2 sets of knives and forks even though one of us was having cereal and needed a spoon. Also, the coffee came in take away cups which was odd. This was reasonably trivial but influenced our decision about breakfast the next day so I decided to raise it.

Dear Susan, Thank you for your wonderful review and for choosing to stay with us at Novotel Wollongong Northbeach. We’re delighted to hear that you had a very pleasant experience overall and that everything met your expectations. We also appreciate you bringing the breakfast service details to our attention. While we’re glad it was a relatively minor issue, we understand how the missing cutlery, incorrect items, and takeaway coffee cups could impact your experience. This is certainly not the standard we aim to deliver, and your feedback has been shared with our team to ensure we improve our attention to detail. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even better stay. Kind Regards, Guest Relations

Peter &. L. S. Friends - 4/2/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Food good, staff friendly, but website misrepresents that it has a laundromat...yes - if you want to walk to one 800m from the hotel.

However, we sincerely apologize for any confusion regarding our facilities.

We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a fully satisfying experience next time. Kind regards, Guest Relations

I had a really lovely time at Wollongong Nortbeach. Reception staff were friendly and informative. I stayed in an Ocean View room and the views were spectacular. Staff in the restaurant were friendly and attentive. And the food was delicious with a very generous serve. Definitely coming back.

Zachary-james W. C. Business - 4/1/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Overall the facilities were fine, pool, bar, restaurant etc however the extra cost for parking, in an area where street parking is free, and wifi at a cost over around $11 per hour is silly. The bed was okay, the Tv had 5 free to air channels working with no casting feature (almost a standard across this level of hotel now) and the shower is a bath/shower combo and if you are over 180cm your head touches the ceiling.

Dear Zachary-James, Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear you found our facilities, including the pool, bar, and restaurant, enjoyable. We’d also like to clarify that WiFi is complimentary for all member guests. Please feel free to contact reception during your stay, and our team will be happy to assist you with logging in. Regarding the TV and entertainment options. This has been shared with senior management for their awareness, as we are planning future upgrades in this area. To ensure your comfort on future stays, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our friendly reception team with any concerns, we’ll do our best to make your stay more comfortable. Kind regards, Guest Relations
