By far the best Hotel I have ever stayed in. Walking distance to transport, river, beach, shops, restaurants and uniquely Newcastle hotspots. The hotel revamp was true to the original architecture of the building with a modern and abstract vibe.

The property was awesome, the staff were a highlight, all smiles and welcoming, the product was fantastic. I would def stay there again. My only criticism was a very limited late night room service menu which would have been a better option except for what listed in the menu.

Newcastle long weekend

Hotel easy to get to near tram line to the beach end of town. Breakfast in house on last day was very good. Easy location in area partly gentrified, great to see more older buildings being repurposed. History of hotel as ex DJ’s store interesting. Friendly staff and lovely bar on rooftop for our large group gathering on first evening there. Thank you all.

Lovely but small

Beautiful hotel. Great location and incredible service. Room was just very small and considering the price we were a little surprised. We had stayed in a pet friendly room previously which was great. So was a little disappointed

Disliked: Staff & service
The hotel was unique but we were not explained how to use the hotel to get the best of our stay. As we are in the older age group we find it harder to use modern technology non of the staff offered to show or explain it to us as also with the rules about the breakfast menu. The service was not good for a hotel of this category. The food that was offered was poor and lacked variety.All the food we had was not up to a 4 or 5 star hotel which we are used too. Our stay at your hotel was disappointing regards Michael and Elizabeth Meade
