Best Hotels near Newcastle Museum, Newcastle

Lovely hotel in central location. Staff very nice & helpful. Recommend paying the extra & get valet parking as other option can be confusing to begin with. Roof top bar was lovely but music very loud. Love the Kevin Murphy bathroom products. Yes, we would stay again when in Newcastle.

I'll start by saying, Thank you Rydges Newcastle - we enjoyed our stay so much. We booked 3 nights stay over the long weekend and despite having some hiccup in the room booking (which was sorted swiftly) - we loved our stay. Rooms were clean, comfortable bed and pillows. Our room overlooked the harbour and had a good view. Housekeeping service was prompt. Buffet breakfast was good though I was a little disappointed I couldn't get the pancake machine working and hence missed out on my favourite breakfast - pancake :( Our biggest disappointment was the TV - we had two in the room but neither could be used to cast from our mobile devices (Android, or iOS). It was disappointing because we can only watch free to air channels or pay a premium price for movies (around $35) - I hope this will improve in future as most hotels allows casting. The hotel had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Things that can be improved: - Sofa bed - not very comfortable for sleeping. The blanket had dusty smell. - Pool - not heated and no shade. - Place food labels on breakfast buffet - it helps people like me to pick the right food (I don't eat beef)- example beef sausage vs chicken sausage. - Lid for take away coffee - Update Wharf Bar drink menu in the hotel website. Staff were busy but friendly. The hotel is within walking distance to many good restaurants along the waterfront. We also enjoyed the cocktail, beer and coffee from Wharf Bar. We are already looking to book our next stay here.

Convenient location, located in the central business district, easy to shop, very close to the sea, you can walk to the beach to see the sea. Breakfast is also good, variety, and delicious.

Stayed for 2 nights. Rooms are very clean along with the rest of the hostel. Facilities are also very good and location is convenient; easy to access anywhere within walking distance. Staff and everyone else is super friendly and there’s a very chill and welcoming vibe.

The good : The rooms are large , spacious, and good size kitchen, and lounge and eating eras with seperate bedroom and washing facilities, so great for a longer stay as I did for 7 days. The pool and spa are a nice touch all indoors and very relaxing after a hot humid day. The rooms are very neat and tidy, starting to show their age a bit, but still very functional. The beds are a bit firm and could have the room for king size, i think the mattress could be due for a replacement. The bathrooms are aged some what with the old step into the bath to have a shower routine, thus time for a refurbishment to be carried out on those. The OK: Only one air con for the large rooms, so your bedroom can get quite hot, and my ceiling fan didn’t work, so not as comfortable as it could have been. Some of the carpets in hallways are a bit thread bear and needs replacing, and the pool area needs a repaint, but all minor issues . The bad: Seems to be a theme with quests of late, the car park, besides the fact getting into the place to do a check in is near impossible as there is no parking on the street , so park a few blocks away, walk to the entrance and get the remote to open the 30 dollar a day car parking gate, the parking is 30 dollars a day for your car to sit in the sun or rain and not get stolen on the street, so lets call the room rate +30 dollars, as there is NO WAY you would park your car on the street around the area, as its a bit seedy at night. Honestly just include it in the room rate and if you don’t park here you get a 30 dollar discount… ?? There was a time car parks for a hotel were free… I must be old school, I guess ;)

A very professional and friendly team! The manager in duty saved the day for fixing my booking agent’s stuff-up. We cannot thank her enough! Great location and very modern & sleek interior. The free brekkie is beyond our expectations. I’d definitely stay with them again.!

This hotel is in a perfect location and the staff make you so welcome . Rooms are clean and comfortable. James and Daniel at reception are very efficient , lovely lads who instantly made us feel so welcome and continued to look after us throughout our stay . Can’t wait to come back

We were looking for a no fuss functional hotel for 1 night so as we could access the sporting stadium,near by. We didn't expect the nova tel but ,on acquiring our room we immediately had issues with no switch or remote to turn the fan off/on and no lights. We then acquired the remote but it didn't work. It took 2 attempts to finally get the remote to work. We then also noticed that the ceiling had a water leak, as it was raining that day. It was consistently dripping onto the carpet at the foot of the bed,we complained about the leak,they couldn't change our room and basically there was nothing they could do. We had to endure that painfully all night. When we booked the hotel on line ,it was booked at the online price of $85.00 but we were charged $95.00 .Unfortunately I didn't check the bill till after we left,which was early in the morning so I couldn't talk to anyone over it. Over all quite disappointing

Went for Melbourne cup and while menu wasn’t as advertised I couldn’t fault menu or service. Service was 5 star. Food was awesome! I can’t stop talking about the friendly service though. Service wins every time for me. Would 100% go again without fail.

Every little detail has been thought of, from the light at foot level so that it doesnt disturb orhers that comes on when you go to the toilet at night. Where the bed is positioned all well thought of as again bathroom light would not disturb sleep. Storage for suitcase bottom of open wardrobe. Fully kitted out kitchen unseen in other apartments as to what is provided. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again. Girls at reception also very hospitable.
