room service was terrible (chips brought up half an hour after the meal and cold, and chicken burger as described on the menu substituted for a schnizel burger without saying, after waiting 45 minutes i wasnt sending it back). The actual room was fine, clean, staff friendly and room nice enough. Bathroom seemed a little cheap but all acceptable. If... More

My husband and I stayed three nights, we found the room to be modern, clean and very comfortable. The location is excellent within a short walking distance to the cafe/restaurant strip, town centre and beaches. We had one full buffet breakfast at the restaurant which we found to be ordinary for the $28 price tag each. We stayed at an... More

I haven't stayed at the hotel (I live 800m away!) but went last weekend for High Tea with a group of friends for my birthday, held in the hotel restaurant - I think they have them on the last Sunday of each month. It was fantastic! The cakes were just delicious, sandwiches were fresh and rich, and warm scones were... More

I was very disappointed with this Hotel. I had stayed at better places for much less money. I was disgusted in the bathroom linen, the towels were scratchy and almost threadbare and little. For the price we paid I would have expected larger bath towels with a bit of fluffiness about them. The breakfast was the worst I have ever... More

We were recently in need of a room for a wedding in Wollongong so we took our chances with a Wotif Secret Deal - we were very pleasantly surprised to find out it was the Chifley.

We stayed one night and really enjoyed ourselves - the hotel is clean - has parking and has a friendly vibe. We were on a 'romantic' getaway but I couldn't help but notice the terrific conferencing facilities. The buffet breakfast was comprehensive and well laid out.
