All I can say that this pub was nothing short of awesome. Okay, a part of me didn't expect to find…read moresuch a pub in Wollongong, but then again I probably didn't give Wollongong the credit that it probably deserved. In a way this pub certainly felt like one of those really cool grunge pubs that I simply adore. It had a real inner city feel about it, and even had some pretty decent beers on tap as well. Oh, and I probably should mention the awesome service, and the nice beer garden out the back as well. This is certainly one of those pubs that I could end up spending more time at.

Cold Beer, Amazing Food, Perfect Atmosphere!…read more Welcomed with the aromas of honest, home cooked food I sat and enjoyed a schooner of ice cold KilKenny while awaiting my meal! Only half way into my beer my Steak and Guinness Pie atop a bed of mashed potato arrived. Crispy, golden pastry crackled as I cut into the piping hot chunks of beef and home made gravy casing it to ooze onto my plate of tender green veg and creamy mashed potato. Into my mouth a perfect combination of flavour caused me to salivate further while I took another sip of my Kenny! For $16 bucks you can't go wrong. I only wish I had another nigh or 5 in town to try the rest of the menu!

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.

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.

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.
