Normandie Wollongong

This is a standard overnight stay accomodation. It is not luxurious but it has what you need for a standard stay. Clean sheets, clean bathroom, air conditioning, bar fridge and extras such as tea and coffee. For the budget price that it is available for, it is a “get what you pay for” scenario. The building is large but dated. It seems that only the basics to keep it running is being done. I would recommend for an overnight stay or if you are on a budget and are more interested in the activities outside the motel rather than spending it within. Great location

The worst motel we have ever stayed in . On entering the first impression was not good with filthy carpets. Desk with metal frame pulled down so we had to deal with staff through same like criminals. Obviously used top floor for some type of emergency /affordable accommodation or something with shady looking characters wandering in and out constantly giving the place a really dodgy look. Sheets were clean on the upside but bed on some weird slope so half way thru night we had to switch and sleep the other way . Gross old cushion and throw rug from another era on bed . Bathroom- mouldy walls and doors with toilet leaking water all over floor constantly from base of loo. Tv had bunny ears with no channels what so ever . Netflix only thing that worked. Stuffy damp room and unable to open windows at all . Put air con on for some flow and the putrid dusty fan and my poor husband had the worst asthma attack he had in yrs we put down to the dirty mouldy appliances and room . Our "Garden view" room was a big plant outside our room in the car park !!!! No sleep at all due to people literally walking around all night slamming doors talking loudly and going out the front for a smoke until sunrise . If you google it you will see it's for demolition. Worst experience by far in a motel ever .

Mouldy bathroom and chipped mug. Will not replace towels, even if you follow the sign in the bathroom to put them in the shower base. After a humid day was looking forward to a shower but no clean towel. Rang manager and they were quite dismissive. No towels provided. Traffic noise very loud and at 4am there was loud knocking on a door and shouting. Do not stay here - it’s awful.

This property looks ready for demolition. To be fair, I don't think the manager has a chance of presenting it at an acceptable standard. There was a disabled lady in the next room who kept approaching me and knocking on my door/wall through the night. The TV did not work- it had token rabbit ears for reception. The walls and carpet were in great disrepair (gross permanent stains, deep mould etc) and looked impossible to keep clean. The hot water took 5 minutes to start warming, another 5 to get hot. Lights from the advertising billboard were directed straight into the room. The windows were so decrepit they kept little of the busy road traffic noise out. International Roast coffee was the icing on a mouldy cake. I don't see how it could pass any sort of health/safety inspection. If I had the energy I'd ask for a refund.

Unfortunately I had to travel for a funeral and this hotel was conveniently located and available. However, I can’t recommend this hotel due to the really lousy service. We discovered that there was no hot water, tried calling the on-call number (reception was closed), no answer. Left two messages. Ended up having a cold shower. Called again during the afternoon, still no answer. A day later (once home again) the front desk called, but no managers were available to discuss the issue. I never managed to speak to a manager or anyone of authority. Location fine, room small but clean, lot of noise from the road outside.

Current photos on Last Minute are deceiving Rooms are tiny Fridge leaking Balcony hasn’t had any attention for a while No power points in Bathroom or near the only decent sized mirror, had to buy 2 x 3mtr extension leads to use hair styling appliances Reception was not manned to get extra sugar or notify of leaking fridge

The room was really small. There was dirt on the fan surface that was visible from the bed. The carpet on the staircase and bedroom was very dirty. The location of the building was great.

If they want to charge that amount for a room, it needs to be clean and. The bathroom had mould. The television should work The arial was a rabbit ear one and did not give a signal to the tv. The maintenance was poor.

Over priced. After hours number not available for two days. Very uncomfortable extremely OLD feeling mattress and cheap bad uncomfortable small pillows. Big gap under door and light streaming in all night. Loud residents throughout the night. And a foul smelling room of mold, smoke and maybe death? Disappointed that I cannot recommend this place.
