Clean and newly renovated rooms. Friendly staff make the stay enjoyable. Convenient location, just 5 minutes from Wollongong CBD. the bar and bistro offer a nice dining experience. Shared bathrooms are mostly acceptable. 😊.

there were a lounge, a kitchenette area and a bedside lamp in the rooms, which made them neat. location: the hotel was adjacent to good renovated pub and other facilities as well as public transport and the restaurant.

Newly renovated hotel in a good area next to good renovated pub with food as well as public transport😀

Chatty staff!

The rooms here are a great value, reasonably priced, and have bunk beds that make it feel like home, plus the location is convenient with a supermarket and transportation nearby.

The private parking was onsite, TERRIFIC service. Got ironing free of charge, not bad too. The location close to everything was good. Visited The Entrance Ocean Baths, one of the tourist spots, located around 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel.

The double room here comes with a bar fridge and is kept really clean. the location is great and convenient, especially because it's close to public transport, situated in a nice area. 🚍.

the staff were friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant experience. the bar and bistro provided great food and a welcoming atmosphere for unwinding after a busy workday.

Cons the shared facilities were inconvenient, with noisy neighbors disrupting my sleep. the lack of soundproofing led to disturbances from neighboring rooms, affecting my rest.

This hotel has been recently refurbished and is really nice. We loved having a twin room, and our rooms with the superior queen bed were fantastic. 😊.

The location is fantastic and the bar and bistro are enjoyable. Rooms are clean and tidy, although the bedding was minimal. the fan worked well for the April heat, and the bathrooms were generally acceptable.

No shower in the room. Noisy pub nearby.

This place is conveniently located in an industrial area, offers reasonably priced rooms with amenities like coffee, a TV, and smoke detectors for safety.

The bar and bistro at Five Island Hotel in Cringila were delightful, with friendly staff and clean rooms. the fan provided a comfortable breeze, and the shared bathroom was adequate. Despite the lack of air conditioning or heating, the staff's hospitality and the refurbished pub made up for it. the cleanliness was impeccable, and the noise control was excellent. the hotel's proximity to landmarks like Wollongong Art Gallery and Lake Illawarra added to the charm of our stay, contributing to a relaxing family bonding experience. An update to include ensuites in rooms would make this place perfect. the lovely staff and convenient location made our trip memorable.

This place is lovely, with friendly staff, a cozy bar downstairs, well-priced rooms, and a newly renovated bathroom.

The accommodation here is comfortable and cute, located conveniently with free parking for guests, and just a 25-minute drive from the airport, providing an amazing experience.

had an absolutely delightful time staying in cringila and driving to the lake. five island exceeded all my expectations - friendly staff, clean rooms, and a lovely caesar salad for dinner. looking forward to returning!

no bottled water in the kitchenette

We really enjoyed the rooms with the bunk beds! 😊.
