Top Strickland State Forest Hotel Reviews

Ibis Budget Gosford

8/10 Good

"For what it was it was reasonable value for the money. The bathroom is a bit aged and could do some work with the tiles and a better shower curtain arrangement. Most of the bathroom got very wet which included the Mat and I would suggest that they stop the garbage pick up at 1:30 in the morning around the back. It was very loud and noisy and woke me out of a very deep sleep."

Hotel Gosford

10/10 Excellent

"Good to be able to stay in Gosford on a reduced nightly tariff from the motels. Shared bathrooms are all well appointed, recently renovated. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful. Good food in the hotel. Amazing old elevator. Very easy place to stay. All very good, except for phone contact numbers - mobile provides no contact with advice to ring 000 if have an emergency then shuts off, landline goes to AI assistant which says will pass issue onto a staff member for them to contact you but it never happpened."

The Select Inn Gosford

8/10 Good

"This place is a funny mix of nice and not. It's an old motel. The gardens are lovely. The pool is nice but not heated (had a swim but it was freezing on a hot day). The gym area is spacious but doesn't have any treadmills or rowing machines. The room was large and mostly clean and updated but feels dated. The tiled area at the entrance was dirty. The bathroom was modernised but smelled awful. The breakfast fridge was great. Noodles, yoghurt, cereal, fresh fruit, nut bars, flavoured milk, juice, croissants, coffee. Location is very central with easy access to the shopping centre."

Very convenient spot in Gosford /near M1HW, CBD, hospital, stadium, water view

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend this property. We stayed with our family and little fur baby for 1 night and it was perfect and clean. Grass patch out the front for toilet runs for our dog and our 2 cars could park off street.Great location and around the corner from Coles and take out places. Close enough also to the town centre as well.We will stay here again."

Modern 2b2b apartmemt. close to water front

8/10 Good

"While we had a pleasant stay, the check in process was anything but smooth (I have raised the issues with the Hosts to improve this). The Unit itself is nice, however, the finer points could improve it (Face washers, proper bath matt, tea towels, extra blankets - not supplied); Window furnishings look strange (ie Not full length). There is a prominent, but intermittent 'pluming noise' which may annoy light sleepers in the Master Bedroom. The location is excellent (adjacent building construction noise was minimal). Although you can park in the alloted parking spot, we found it more practical to park in the visitors spots on the basement level. I lived on the Central Coast for 27yrs, so, I knew where everything is and what to do, but, the Welcome Package is not very enlightening for Guests who are new to the area, I have indicated this to the Hosts as well. The Apartment was excellent value and much better than a typical Hotel/ Motel option. If the Hosts act on the improvements I have raised with them, your stay should be both smooth and pleasant."
