Stayed here in May and was very happy. I had room service plus breakfast in the morning. Very convenient, food was lovely and a beautiful spot. I would love to stay again. There is however a strict no refund condition which is difficult (it appears you can't even modify your booking). This will factor into travel plans.

Novatel North Beach Wollongong has great ocean views and is very well located near the city of Wollongong. Rooms are fresh and well appointed.
We have stayed before and like the Hotel and surrounds. Thanks to Novatel for our Small gift on our Wedding Day.
A little dissappointed in the North Bar. On several occasions I returned other guests glasses to the bar- Perhaps this is inexperience post Covid 19, but to me staff need to keep the areas around the bar and tables clean and free of empties after patrons leave.
Slow service on staff's behalf lost sales as we watched two patrons leave without ordering after long waits for being served for drinks.
The breakfast included in our package is, as always great value, and freshly cooked. The dining area is clean and staff are helpful & pleasant.
Our room was great, clean with sensational views. All clean and tidy.
Thanks again Novatel for a great stay.

Very tired facility needs renovation. Staff friendly but not helpful. No free Wifi still charging like early 2000’s. Can tell this place benefits from lack of competition.

Beach at the front door and breakfast buffet were the highlights.
Damp smell in room and street noise were the lowlights.
