Fern Hill Hotels, Wollongong

"Clean, cheap room and shared bathrooms. But sound insulation was a bit lacking."

"Needed a place to stay for the night. Our room was clean and had good facilities. The staff were friendly. The restaurant on site was also very convenient."

"Bed was too firm for me else all perfect"

"Room was clean, view was lovely. The attitude of all except two of the staff was below hospitality standard. Lack of friendliness, interest in the guest, no bend over backwards approach. I have run many hospitality venues, from restaurants to having the directorship of an island resort in the Pacific and to me the only ingredient missing from your hotel is engagement with the guest, a smile, a how are you, an interest in the person in front of them. The only person I encountered who was truly hospitable was a young male barman. "

"The Coniston Hotel is good value for what it provides and is close to Wollongong. Room was clean; bed comfy. Just be aware they are currently undergoing renovation to the downstairs pub during the week so you may experience noise after 7am. We would stay again. "

"we were heading to the Wollongong area to stay with friends when we heard the forecast for possible major hail storms. We decided to find a hotel or similar with undercover parking and we were able to book it with minimal notice. Easy to access, quick check in, excellent undercover parking and a large, clean, apartment. To top it off we were close to restaurants and coffee shops. "

"Very good location walk to beach and everything "

"Yes"

"Good twin room. Clean and spacious. Window view of beach and golf course. Lucked out with car park space outside the hotel for free. Hotel does its own for $25 or in the WIN Stadium car park. You can also park on the side streets before and after 7 for free."
