“Abit of a surprise”

Reviewed 21 April 2013

It is close to Civic station. As I first saw it the hotel looked like a typical Newcastle pub, and to some extent it was. It had a rowdy public bar , slot machines and an average restaurant. The room however was spacious and clean. Attention to detail wasn't too good. There was a blown globe by the bed and... More

“Pleasant”

When we were visiting Newcastle this is where we stayed. It was undergoing some construction when we went so it wasn't very pretty but I guess it'll be better now. Our hotel room was cheap and we had free wifi. It was a very nice clean room. O there was also air con' as well. However, the food was below... More

“Not great!”

Reviewed 13 April 2013 via mobile

If having the live entertainment playing just outside your room at 11.30pm is not a problem for you, especially after having paid $175 for the room then this place could be good for you. Alas, it didn't work for us. This place is a pub, not a hotel. Clean enough but two bulbs gone in a room is not great... More

We are disappointed that you did not enjoy your stay with us, most of our guests and patrons love the soloists that we have play on a Friday and Saturday night, they usually begin at 8pm and run through until approximately 11.30pm, saying that we understand it may not be to everybody's taste and we do advertise this on our...

“Nice cheap Hotel, awesome location”

Reviewed 3 April 2013

Stayed here over Easter. Wasn't too sure what to expect since the reviews were so mixed and the price was so cheap. We were quite pleased. The location is right across from the train station and just up the road from Hunter Street and Darby Street. There were also cute little markets around the corner from the hotel. The room... More

Hello Carol, Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a nice review, we have found it hard that so many people find it easy to write a negative review or leave bad feedback once they have left rather than give us the opportunity to rectify any issues at the time, and we find this is where a...

I stayed here with my girlfriend over the Easter Break so the restaurant and bar were all closed, so i'm not sure if that would have made any difference to our stay but we loved the place! The rooms are spacious, the bathroom is massive. We had a little balcony and the bed was super comfortable. Great location to get... More

Spent the night here with my girlfriend after a night out on the town. Easy to get back to our room late at night. NIce and wide and comfortable bed! No complaints for noise from next door which was good!
