Five Islands Hotel

8/10 Good

"My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 5 Islands Hotel. We found the recently renovated rooms clean, very comfortable and well appointed. With temperatures reaching the mid to high 30 degrees outside the air-conditioning was a welcome respite after playing tourist during the day. The hotel is very centrally located and the rooms were well sound insulated to block the outside noise of the hotel and traffic. The cost of our room was very reasonable considering we were there during school holidays in early January. Parking was initally a bit tricky upon our arrival as the car park doubles as the public carpark for the hotel as well as parking foe guests. However, before opening and after closing times there was a good choice of parking spots to choose from. We would highly recommend 5 Islands Hotel as a moderately priced, comfortable and centrally located place to stay when visiting Wollongong. We will happily return in the future."

Citadines Connect Sydney Airport

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great place to stay near the airport. From here you can easily walk to the domestic airport or catch the shuttle bus. There is a great bar on the top floor where you can watch planes take off and land in the evening and again in the morning while having breakfast. Big comfortable rooms and nice staff."

Quest Cronulla Beach

10/10 Excellent

"I recently spent three nights at Quest Cronulla and really enjoyed my stay. The location is excellent, with the beach and some great coastal walks right on the doorstep. The room was clean and well-kept, and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. While the nearby pub can be a bit noisy late in the evening, I didn't find it to be too bad. It was a convenient spot for my trip and I would happily stay there again."
