Stayed here for one night, our first night ever in Australia. The hotel staff were quite friendly &…read morehelpful. Jet-lagged & famished, we ordered room service at 4 from the casual restaurant located in the lobby. The wagyu burger with egg & steak fries hit the spot! The room was nice, clean, modern, good minibar, a firm & soft pillow for each of us, which I quite appreciated right after a 17 hour flight. Also really loved the shower - that head could spray!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lovely apartment on the sixth floor with large balcony. Air conditioning was precise and…read moreresponsive. Bathroom clean, shower was good, although a tad more water pressure would have been good. No restaurant on site is a little inconvenient, but it is an apartment complex, not a hotel to be fair. They do a "breakfast to go" which is a continental breakfast in the mini bar, but at $12, probably cheaper to go elsewhere. Not very happy that when I pre-paid on wotif.com for 1 night they took $100 off my credit card and it took 7 business days to appear again. Why can't hotels just take the credit card number and THEN charge it if someone runs away with something? When there's no restaurant on-site, $100 deposit for one night is too excessive. Parking $10 per night 4 levels down from the hotel. Room was very clean, bed was comfortable, and a decent selection of FTA and Foxtel channels on the TV. Happy to stay here again, but please do something about the ridiculous deposit you take on check in for a pre-paid 1 night booking - very inconvenient. Other than that, no problems at all.

Adina is an ideal option for a getaway, whatever the occasion. Adina Executive Wollongong offers guests their own private space, a place to simply relax or to entertain in a new city destination. Each apartment has been designed with elegance and style, with all of the comforts of home and enough room to stretch out. In the heart of Wollongong's CBD Adina Executive Wollongong is just a short stroll from attractions such as Crown Street Mall, Win Entertainment Centre, City Beach and the "the Gong's" famous beachside golf course. It is also in the perfect location to explore NSW's beautiful South Coast.

I heart the Gong! Came here to watch the Tahs final while on vacation. Called ahead to make sure…read morethey were showing it which they were, and glad we chose this place on a whim because there were screens everywhere. They had multiple games on, at least a dozen beers and a few ciders on tap at slightly below average prices. All the standard fare for a hotel, although food came out slowly that's understandable given the place was packed to the rafters. They have deals during the week on food and drinks, but it was still affordable for a weekend night out. After the Tahs won they passed out free chips, which I think were just leftover from the bistro but still a nice gesture. All the staff were really friendly and attentive - they appeared to offer table service for some of the larger group tables, were quick to pick up empties, and made pleasant conversation while filling orders at the bar. It looks like a great place to have group events, and there's a dance floor/dj upstairs if you want to hire it for a private party. One was on the night we were there and it didn't interfere too much with the downstairs shenanigans. Poker room to the back and a beer garden with pool table outside added to the mix of customers. Overall, there's something for everyone here.

Went there for lunch. Had the ultimate schnitzel with mushroom sauce. Their soft drinks at $5 is…read morepricey. Food is well priced so that makes up for the drinks.

My wife and I take regular breaks at the beach. Previously we have frequented Newcastle or Kiama…read more Wollongong is our new destination of choice and this hotel is THE place to stay. The location is brilliant, right opposite the beach. If your budget can manage I strongly recommend you get a beachside room with a balcony. The room was well appointed, modern and very comfortable. The views are magnificent and relaxing on your balcony is sublime. The gym and sauna are very good and the food in the restaurant also very good. It's a good walk into the CBD for shopping and a plethora of restaurants. There are numerous good eateries close to the hotel if you don't want to venture far. This is our new go to location and this hotel will definitely be our hotel if choice.

In town because I rode from Sydney to wollongong to raise money for MS. Booked a hotel to have a…read moregood rest but was woken up at 7.30am by a fire alarm which was actually a false alarm. Most of the day test alarms have been going off. When we spoke to reception they said there is nothing they can do about it and wouldn't even comp us a beer to say sorry. Very disappointed!

This is the third booking my company has used this place. In the previous review from the other…read moregentleman, he talks about the dated furniture and such. The good news is that they have fixed the issues since last year. The furniture is now new, the beds are new (still twins though) and there is now wifi. All major improvements and this place needs another chance! I like it much better now. So give it a chance! The housekeepers are friendly and prompt at keeping your room clean.

I checked in tonight for what's going to be a long stay - several weeks. So far, I'm not that…read moreimpressed. The two bedroom apartment is furnished OK but is showing signs of wear and usage. The KING sized bed is really two twin sized mattresses sitting side by side. The FREE internet in the room is wired - NO WIFI and is painfully slow DSL. The only way to get WIFI in the room is to purchase and setup your own router. But most likely the slow connection isn't going to be useful to use Skype or FaceTime (which has been my main form of communication back to the states). There is no restaurant or food to purchase in the hotel, only a vending machine found in the lobby. The lobby is also where the only WIFI is in the building but it's encrypted. The front desk said they would give me the password but they acted like they'd be doing me a favor. I'm using the washing machine and dryer in the room right now. The front desk provided the detergent. The dryer has been running for over two hours and my load of socks and underwear still aren't dry. Our refrigerator is also not cooling. I placed a bunch of already cold beer into it and the next morning all the beer was warm. I've received reports from numerous other crew members staying here that they're dryers weren't working either. Some don't tumble, some don't heat, some the blower doesn't work and with others all of those features work but the vents are plugged. The only way to dry your clothes in this case is to take the vent pipe off the machine and let the hot air blow into the room. This morning I found a large cock roach on the counter top in the kitchen. This place is starting to gross me out. The shower has A LOT of mold around the window and along the tub edges and floor. This sort of mold can easily become airborne when showering and make you sick. I mentioned the mold to the front desk but they insisted that the room is cleaned regularly, so I guess I don't understand why it's so hard for housekeeping to pour a little bleach and water into a spray bottle and spray the mold in the shower area. The front desk agreed to move me into another room after promising that a repair technician would be by the next day to repair the dryer and the refrigerator. After returning to the room the next day the refrigerator was still warm, the dryer inoperative and the dead roach was still on the counter where he met his demise.
