Great place to stay.

Fantastic night away. We had a great stay for our anniversary. Amazing location. Quiet, Very close to the water, shops, blow hole, and lots of coffee shops. Comfortable rooms and great gym. Super duper friendly staff!! The young lady who checked us in (I think Chloe? Sorry if I got your name wrong ...) was very efficient, super friendly and welcoming and helpful. Would totally recommend.

Kiama Sebel - well located

Stayed at the Sebel for a long weekend. Room and bathroom were clean, spacious and relatively updated, bed was comfy. Hotel was very well located to the seafront, ocean pool and Main Street. My only complaint was that my room with a balcony, which I paid more for, was right on a train line. That should’ve been called out and priced differently as I would not have booked a balcony room if I’d known. Trains ran through the night and I’m a light sleeper so woke up, but they were slow and glass doors gave some insulation. Overall, enjoyed my stay and would stay again on the other side of the hotel!

One night stay in Kiama - not long enough! :)

The location of The Sebel Hotel in charming coastal Kiama is convenient to the waterfront, to the Blowhole, the Rocks swimming pool, to shops, restaurants, bars, and to the local residential neighborhoods that climb the surrounding hills. The hotel features upscale modern design with Scandinavian influence to provide a calming sanctuary during our stay. Luggage carts were available and the second elevator that opens to the parking garage allowed for luggage carts to go directly to the room without going through the lobby. The Reception attendant was friendly, helpful, annd professional. She provided restaurant recommendations, of which we chose a delicious option: Hanoi on Manning. Finishes within the public areas and the room were premium and aligned with the overall design theme for the hotel to support a bespoke, restful, and enjoyable stay!

The property is vastly overpriced. Dishes and cutlery in the room not properly washed, no coffee maker provided . It didn’t even have a safe. Lighting in the room is bright, cannot be scaled down to cosy. Windows cannot be opened. The door to the adjoining room was not locked. All in all a disappointing stay for a high price
