Newcastle hotellia

Plussat: Both Colin and Larraine were most helpful, friendly hosts. There was a huge variety of choice in the food on the menu and the standard and presentation were second to none. Yum! You do not often get a really comfortable bed and pillows,, but theirs were excellent so you woke up refreshed in the morning. There were facilities for making tea and coffee and a mini fridge in the bedroom too. Pretty stained glass windows added to the atmosphere.

Miinukset: The wardrobe space was limited. (There was more than ample supply of hangers, which is rare in most accommodation, so it was wonderful to have about twenty hangers, instead of the usual six). Admittedly, I take more clothes on holiday with me than most people, in order to cover changes in the weather, and more wardrobe space would have been useful.

Plussat: Very comfortable accomodation where you feel really welcome and treated as a member of the family. Excellent beautifully presented breakfast added to our our memorable experience. Thank you!

Miinukset: Cant think of anything

Plussat: Such a beautiful couple, fell in love with Newcastle! Highly recommend this traditional styled B&B, breakfast was amazing, so glad I could treat my partner to this.

Plussat: Close to the club for dinner. Spacious room. Friendly staff.

Miinukset: For the price paid it was sufficient.

Plussat: Fantastic location, with a great sized room for my family.

Miinukset: The only suggestion I would make, it would be great to provide some crockery/cutlery for families to make a microwave meal. But not a necessity as there is 2 clubs within walking distance to eat at!

Plussat: Great location friendly staff

Miinukset: No toaster

Plussat: The cleanliness of the room, friendly staff on arrival and departure

Plussat: Well located in Newcastle. Close to public transport, beach and Hunter St. Well appointed room with good kitchen facilities.

Plussat: Clean, good amenities, excellent location, friendly staff.

Plussat: My first visit to Newcastle. Quality Apartments has exceeded my expectations, with spacious rooms, and my first hotel where the showers actually had water pressure. Next time i visit Newcastle i will be booking in with them! Staff were lovely and polite, with a little care package upon arrival :)

Miinukset: Besides having trouble finding my car in the car park, everything was perfect :)

Plussat: Loved it. Will definitely come back

Plussat: The managers would so accommodating, very helpful and very friendly. We were there for a funeral and Kim made sure that our unit would be available when we arrived, no matter how early we were before check in time,

Miinukset: The bathroom is dated, was still fine. There was some noise from the street. We would have loved to have no light coming from the curtains as we really needed a good night sleep. Our unit, particularly the bathroom does require some attention.

Plussat: Walking distance to restaurants pubs and shops

Plussat: Good location near the waterfront and shopping street. Good kitchen. Roomy lounge.

Plussat: Great location great staff

Plussat: Location and privacy...

Miinukset: Nothing to add

Plussat: Good hotel, several dining options very close. Room was quiet even though it is on a main road. Good pool and spa.

Plussat: Clean modern rooms, lovely staff and great value for price. Will definitely be back when a stay in Newcastle is required.

Miinukset: Nil

Plussat: The staff where fantastic, they made our stay so easy and comfortable, we used the bikes that were on offer, we rode up to the beach and then later in the day rode into the McDonalds in Newcastle. I highly recommend the accommodation, we stayed for 4 nights and everything we needed was attended to, thank you for a wonderful stay

Plussat: Good Breakfast, free cereal and toast with spread

Miinukset: Room size could be a little bigger

Plussat: Comfortable and clean. Good parking and a great pool!

Plussat: Everything was great. Clean, big room.

Miinukset: Not really designed for family, good for couples

Plussat: Modern bedroom, lovely bathroom. Secure, with parking outside. Plenty of cafes etc nearby. Very Comfy bed

Plussat: Sleek and very modern style room. We did not hear any noise from the pub downstairs. Which was also nice for a quiet drink or a nice dinner.

Plussat: Pub was closed so it was nice and quiet, easy to get in to the room considering there was no staff being closed on NYE. Comfortable bed, clean and tidy, complimentary choccies, great food choices in the area.

Plussat: Comfy bed

Miinukset: Air con didn’t cool the room but(and) it was an extremely hot day in high 30’s

Plussat: Modern funky awesome bathroom bar downstairs close to restaurant cafes. Nespresso machine nice

Miinukset: Would have liked 2 coffee pods minimum not the one supplied for Nespresso machine so we could both enjoy a nice coffee in room.

Plussat: The greeting you get when you arrive, the check in get shown to your room. The food was of a very high quality, the relaxed atmosphere when having a quiet drink. It was a country Style Pub in the city

Miinukset: Couldn't find anything wrong

Plussat: The location and proximity to the race track for the supercars weekend was excellent and the level of comfort of the rooms far exceeded the initial perception from outside the property. The staff were super friendly, the rooms were fresh and in date as far as style goes, bathroom and toilets were shared however since they were updated and fresh it was not at all an issue and the shower had great big rain shower heads on them and were great to use. Downstairs in the restaurant the food was amazing and the service there was on par with far more expensive restaurants.

Miinukset: You could still hear the noise from downstairs when trying to sleep but that was really the only thing I would consider next time if I needed to be asleep early. Additionally finding parking was a punish and we parked a fair way away.

Plussat: Staff were so friendly and helpful!

Plussat: The location was good for the price

Miinukset: The bathroom smells bad and looks dirty.

Plussat: Air con

Miinukset: Smelly sticky floored bathrooms Weird red lights hanging. Felt like red light distract. TV smaller than the average Lap Top i expected a fridge in the room. None. I did not expect a room with a bed only for $95. Glorified Hostel. Very noisy.

Plussat: Super comfortable bed - best sleep I've had in 6 months! The modern decor in the hotel exceeded my expectations of a pub hotel. The location near Merewether Beach was good too. Would stay here again.

Miinukset: Probably needed more bathrooms for the number of guests - toilet paper in one of the two bathrooms ran out in the evening

Plussat: Being close to the beach and having a very nice restaurant in the pub.

Miinukset: The common area for breakfast is very close to other rooms so making breakfast early in the morning would wake those people up.

Plussat: Pleasantly clean.

Miinukset: Looks run down from the outside.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: No comment everything was perfect

Plussat: friendly, central to Newcastle

Miinukset: WIFI could be better - Telstra Air is the problem - needs more powerful underlying wireless connection. Owner is planning better WIFI

Plussat: Comfortable beds, good bathroom, nice check in

Plussat: 2nd stay here and will be staying there again next visit to Newcastle

Plussat: Staff were very friendly and helpful! It was worth staying slightly out of town for!

Plussat: Location and room was great

Miinukset: Staff were great very friendly and helpful cleaners especially Tiffany were awesome. Brianna the girl at the front desk was extremely helpful, her service was very welcoming

Plussat: Great location , wonderful staff

Plussat: That there was a balcony and the receptionist was lovely

Miinukset: The fridge didn’t work and didn’t keep our drinks cold enough...

Plussat: The room was spotless. The view was great the staff were friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was faultless.

Miinukset: Only the bed head because I kept hitting my head when I leaned against it.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Coffee

Plussat: restaurant is good. check in good. checkout efficient

Miinukset: parking is cramped or exposed to element on dust bowl. they cram an extra bed into a room that couldn't handle 3 people.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: The staff were not welcoming on arrival I felt like when you were standing in reception no staff looked around to ask if you needed anything they all just look like dummies no one smiled or interacted with their customers

Plussat: Bed was great, position could not be better.

Miinukset: The car park really is not adequate. The spaces underneath are far too small, and we were lucky to get a space on a Saturday afternoon.

Plussat: The staff was good. Rooms were clean and well kept.

Plussat: Great place. Only stayed there as closest we could get to airport. Was a great room. Club next door

Miinukset: Parking there isn’t a lot of

Plussat: Decor, cleanliness, water pressure and fixtures.

Miinukset: Staff attitude.

Plussat: Great room with bay window affording view of Newcastle. The bathroom is nicely done too.

Plussat: Great location

Miinukset: I burnt a candle hoping to have a romantic night with my boyfriend when the smoke alarm went off I apologized profusely but was told I had to take responsibility for the bill which I understand but the staff were very rude to us Asking us how much we were going to pay in which we replied we could not afford to pay the bill at this stage in which they came out to the carpark to say we were banned from all Wests clubs. Now I'm sorry I was never notified about candles, I know it was a stupid mistake but I have a mental disorders which I am on medication for but had honestly made a mistake and felt intimidated & attacked when staff confronted us

Miinukset: Beds are too hard, very hard. You can only sleep on the edge.

Plussat: Extremely clean.

Miinukset: We did not like the way our room was overlooked by everyone have breakfast in the foyer area.

Plussat: Great room, great service, friendly hosts.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Lovely room, never herd a thing alnight and was never disturbed a great place to go for a kiddy free weekend.

Miinukset: Would've liked to have a cuppa coffee in our room that's all I can say bad about it.

Plussat: Julie did a very good breakfast and was very accommodating!

Plussat: Great location,no worry atmosphere

Miinukset: All good

Plussat: Truly fantastic set up in a very convenient location, thanks Julie

Plussat: Beautiful breakfast served by Serena

Plussat: The room was stunning, great pool area, beautiful relaxing surroundings and music. Great breakfast and super friendly host Serena. Best sleep in weeks too.

Miinukset: Nothing I didn't like

Plussat: Such a fantastic find. Well located close to restaurants/cafes and waterfront. We travelled with our 2 dogs and this property was perfect and so accommodating - we were made to feel so welcome. The breakfast was exceptional.

Plussat: Large comfortable room with all conveniences! There was nothing we required. Breakfast was a cooked breakfast with several choices available. All were delicious! Serena was a wonderful hostess!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: I love the breakfast and very hospitable Serena..

Plussat: Fantastic location for requirements. Serena is warm and friendly and breakfast amazing. Wish we could have stayed longer. Bed comfy and our room amazing size.

Miinukset: Unfortunately the aircon for Shambala is positioned in an area which can result in a draft across the neck. Slightly more curtain cover from the deck would be great and the skylight would be best covered. All in all a fabulous place to stay.

Plussat: I loved so many things about Tantarra - my master suite Shambala was spacious and beautifully decorated like a Balinese vila. It was a searingly hot day when we arrived and the ceiling fan was already turned on for our comfort. The Shambala is 2 meters from the lovely pool and swimming / relaxing by the pool was what we did most of the time. I swam and my husband watched videos on his laptop (!) on the comfy daybed and we had the pool to ourselves. The location is fantastic, just 2 mins drive from the Village. It was New Year’s Eve and we hadn’t really thought ahead but we were able to get the last table at Brown Sugar facing the bay and had a lovely dinner. A few other places were also open. We slept well and comfortably that night. Breakfast is served 7.30 to 8.30 on the pool patio and Serena gave us a few choices - bacon and eggs, bruschetta with avocado and poached eggs or banana bread w mascarpone. They were scrumptious, and cafe standard. We were so so pleased with the amazing brekkie. In addition, Serena offered us more toast with jam and honey! She’s an amazing host :) The place is understated, unpretentious, quiet and calm. The Shambala also had a separate pantry area with a cozy table and 2 chairs - I enjoyed sitting there and journaling before breakfast. We loved our time there so much we have booked to return next month!

Plussat: Great breakfast Pool area

Plussat: Breakfast

Miinukset: Sky light makes it to bright Not as well kept outdide as last stay But it may have been from the smoke

Plussat: Quality breakfast made by our lovely hostess Serena. Excellent accommodation for pets. Pool surrounded by beautiful garden.

Miinukset: Some of the decor a bit tired. Air circulation a bit inefficient. Minor plumbing jobs required on plugs and drain.

Plussat: Bed comfortable. No breakfast.

Miinukset: Menu good but could include more healthy options!

Plussat: Great food

Miinukset: The air conditioning was a little bit noisy during the night

Plussat: The staff are extremely helpful and lovely.

Miinukset: Be mindful about the property being an entertainment venue Friday and Saturday nights. Even though the rooms are 'double glazed' do not stay here if noise is an issue for you. It is above a normal level as they have a live act playing those nights. The rooms smell damp but that may be because the windows don't open.

Plussat: Really clean rooms. Small but comfortable. All the staff we interacted with were very helpful!

Miinukset: The room we were in the first night had terrible water pressure and changing water temperature. We alerted staff to this and they moved us to another room with better facilities for our second night

Plussat: Room restaurant all staff bar staff except one

Miinukset: Bar man in charge would not allow straw for your drink unless it was a cocktail! And was rude about it. We stayed had lunch/ dinner I saw so many people asking some were given by the other bar staff but not the guy! Could’ve handled better especially as we were all older, there for many hours, everyone else was fabulous to our party of 10 thank you

Plussat: Super close to the beach. Kitchen was half decent and well equipped. Can use the bbq outside. It’s a BYO hostel. Very spacious with areas to chill out.

Miinukset: Only thing was that it is quite far from the greyhound bus, half hour walk but with all my stuff I just got an Uber

Plussat: I only stayed at this hostel as an emergency plan because the motel I'd originally booked for the Supercars weekend had cancelled my booking as they were renovating. I was a bit apprehensive about having to share a dorm room but it wasn't as busy as I'd expected it to be, and I had a very comfortable stay there. The huge lounge area was nice and comfy, and the dining room was very clean. The location was very good - very close to the beach, plus a small supermarket and some eateries around.

Miinukset: Creaky staircase between my dorm room and the shared bathroom. It was so loud that I felt bad going to the bathroom late at night. I was annoyed that apparently some men used the ladies toilets during the night as they couldn't be bothered going to the gents' bathroom farther away. It was disgusting to find leaked pee on the floor with the toilet seats up in the morning. WiFi is only available downstairs (in common areas), although it didn't bother me too much. If you need to work online in your room, then it could be a problem for some.

Plussat: Very tidy and welcoming hostel. Had a great time staying!

Plussat: Convenient location, close to all amenities. Value for money.

Plussat: Nice old building. Free sausage sandwiches on Thursday’s

Miinukset: No bug nets on windows so was bitten all night!

Plussat: Spacious rooms

Miinukset: Toilet and showers always soaking and very slippery! Also cockroaches outside

Plussat: only one positive issue: friendly guys in the reception

Miinukset: It's awful, lots of problems about safety and security, lots of uncivilized and impolite. Generally city is fine but if you see a few violators, be sure they accommodate in this place. It's not hotel or hustle, there's a place for homeless guys that they rented long time and it's very cheap for them. As I saw, police regularly come in this place, so it should be unsafe place. avoid it!

Plussat: While the room was small it had everything I needed and was very clean with great air conditioning and Netflix. The staff were lovely and I had a wonderful breakfast chatting with other guests. I will stay again for work as location is great if working in CBD and it was a comfortable stay. Mayfield is not best area but is convenient to City and beaches.

Miinukset: I booked double delux for myself but was told upon arrival I was going to stay in small double budget room because of amount I paid. Not sure I got right room. It was very small and really only suitable for solo traveller and short term stay.

Plussat: Liked Everything

Miinukset: Some noise in the morning

Plussat: The staff were friendly and welcoming. The property was clean modern and well presented. We will be staying again on our next trip.

Plussat: None

Miinukset: Our room located in a filthy surroundings . Rooms got foul odour.

Plussat: Nice clean hotel. Nice area

Miinukset: The steps to the room as we had heavy suitcases
