No lifts but a lovely old lace railed verderah. On-site parking which freed up once attendees at an afternoon function left. Easy to find by GPS and likewise to access off freeway. Bistro prices not cheap but children's werves reasonable and sufficient. Communal bathrooms adequate but require more...

Rydges Newcastle

10/10 Excellent

"Recently refurbished room, very clean and comfortable. My only complaint was the shower had no water pressure and was almost dripping out of the rain head which made the experience frustrating and slow."

Little National Hotel Newcastle

10/10 Excellent

"Very new, clean well serviced. Excellent location. Nice restful and accomodating bar with food, which could be open longer each day as a service to guests and could have a larger food menu. The cafe outfront was good and supplied breakfast and lubch/ cafe items a but closed early afternoon, which left no food services at the hotel till thr bar opened in the evening."

Crown on Darby

10/10 Excellent

"It’s an excellent location to walk to the beach, parks, galleries, shops. Plenty to see in every direction you go. Loved the spa bath, to run the water from the tap wasn’t working, so we needed to use the shower head to fill the bath. That took a little longer, but we still enjoyed the relaxing spa bath. The bed, kitchenette , balcony, large tv was excellent. We will come again. Regards Eva"

The Beachcomber Hotel & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was fantastic. One of our favourite places to stay. The major issue though is the lack room we booked was an interior room with no widow. This is very clearly stated on the actual beachcomber website but it's nowhere on the hotels.com page. The hotel were super helpful but it was very frustrating. Completely the fault of hotels.com"
