The location was easy to navigate north and south, rooms were a good size with descent bench space for tea and coffee facilities. Bathroom was also a great size. Loved the extra corner bench in there.

The noise in the car park from patrons at 3am onwards especially Sunday morning. The bright car park light above room 5 made it like day light but I understand it is for safety and security reasons.

Clean, newly renovated, well appointed, lovely staff. I was originally in a room with an adjoining door to a room with a very noisey snorer so they uograded me for free to a much better and quieter room

Hotel is connected to a noisy pub that had loud music and noisy people outside until 11pm Saturday when I stayed - however noise died down by about 11.30pm

We loved the bistro, food was great and open till late every night. Drinks were reasonably priced. Atmosphere was great, had a great time. My only 2 issues were staff in charge of cleaning rooms only supplied us with 1 towel, (minor detail), and because it’s winter, the room had no heating and we were cold both nights. Other than that the room and amenities were quite good.

Another blanket on the bed would have been great since it was winter

Room was great had all facilities needed as well as air con and fan, everything was clean and comfortable, staff was amazing and very helpful definitely recommend staying here and the price was reasonable.

Car park can be hard to get a park at times, I just waited for a spot which wasn’t long I know this can’t be helped since small area.

Air con rocked bar downstairs was awesome, staff great....

Got woken at about 3:30am people sitting in the car park near the entrance talking loudly... came close telling them to F off, then realise my window was open, closed it, and the talking was silenced. Parking could be an issue on a busy night, otherwise nothing to not like.

I loved the Aircon. I liked the comfy bed, electric kettle, tea, coffee & Milo, extra, pillow, bottle of water, small free bottles of bath gel, 3-in-1 shampoo/conditioner. Loved the clean room.

TV interference. The picture distorted from some outside interference & such a small TV.

As a solo female traveler, I would love to tell you! My room was immaculate, clean and quiet. The check in was easy. The staff couldn't be lovelier. The bathrooms were perfectly clean with plenty of hot water. I had dinner downstairs, loved watching all the beautiful families. My Caesar Salad was amazing, staff were friendly and helpful. I look forward to staying there again. Ps, some old reviews were awful. I'd read about cigarette smelling in rooms etc. But I saw none of this. It was just Lovely 😊!

I didn't like the lies about this hotel.

I always love my stay at Five Islands Hotel, Cringila. I especially loved the bed, extra pillows, the AC, TV chrome cast, and more. I can never fault Five Islands Hotel's bedrooms ❤️

What I didn't like, though, was the toilets/ showers. Definitely needs to upgrade.

Beds are comfortable. Food is yummy and affordable. Bus stops are so close by.

Some noisy people or couples were up late, slamming doors and arguing.

Affordable in the Illawarra area, a quick train ride from Wollongong or 10 minutes by a cab. Upstairs from a pub and across the road from a servo for convince.

I had to share a window with the room next to me, saw I window open and when I closed it it opened again.
