Australia5 Reviews“We had a great time in Newcastle, and will definitely be back.”The blind didn't have a cord, so we had to manually roll it up each morning. No coat hangers in the wardrobe. The kitchen cupboard/drawer didn't sit flush. Poky bathroom.
Great location. Comfy bed. Spacious room.

Australia13 Reviews“Budget friendly accommodation in central location. You get what you pay for.”Very bland rooms - white walls, grey accents in bathroom and blinds. Lots of surrounding noise. While clean and functional, did not want to stay in room aside for sleeping. Wifi was poor. would often just stop. Resorted to using my own hotspot.
Good central location. Walking distance to many popular things in Newcastle.

Australia2 Reviews“Wouldn't stay again”Bed was super uncomfortable, didn't get much rest over the 3 night stay. "Cold" tap in shower was actually the "hot", so was very annoying waiting forever for hot water, to only realise that the cold tap is what I needed. Rust marks in bathroom sink unsightly.
TV worked fine. Glad there was a full size fridge, and not just a mini fridge. Downstairs facilities were impressive, though not very welcoming.

Australia17 Reviews4 helpful votes“Value for money!!! Good for a short stay. Don't expect a 4 stars hotel facilities.”The property is unattended therefore no reception personnel is available during working hours or after. Carpets are a bit rundown, don't expect much.
The location is quite convenient... it is central to main Newcastle CBD area therefore easily accessible to University of Newcastle and other business commitments surrounding (City Hall, etc). Easy walk to Wharf Rd, Civic Theatre and plenty of eatery around in the area. Bedroom and bathroom were clear and comfortable bed.

Australia6 Reviews“Adequate place to sleep and wash.”No car parking. Was not advised that this was the case, in spite of asking on booking. Had to find and pay for car parking. Best option was $8 per day. Very limited spots available. First day cost $32. TV mostly didn't work, and because there are no staff on the premises, there was no way to fix it.
Location convenient to the conference I was attending at the City Hall. Decent size fridge. Plenty of power points.

Not vacuumed around edges of the room or under any furniture. Fridge needed a good wipe out and cutlery was dirty. Air-conditioning and fan very dirty and dusty.
