Crystalbrook Kingsley

Newcastle|0.16km from NUspace, The University of Newcastle
First time at a Crystalbrook hotel. It was a pleasant experience. Rooms are really spacious with nice modern decor/retro design touches. Bed was ok, pretty firm. Room entry is a bit of a wasted space around closet area, probably could have been better utilised. Bathroom was well equipped, probably could have been bigger based on wasted entry area. The hotel has a rather sombre vibe so a bit vanilla in that respect. Restaurant not open Sunday eves so couldn't try. Bar on top level has pretty good views but a bit disjointed between nice bar and seating area in a seperate room. Didn't get a buzzy feeling there. Location was ok, bit out of central CBD but close enough to Darby St eateries so had my Sunday dinner there. Opposite Civic Park and close to waterfront. Loved the ”no plastic bottle” and refillable water stations for an eco friendly experience.

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.

The hotel is very close to the Newcastle train station, the transportation is very convenient, the rooms are clean, the kitchen utensils are all available, two adults and two children live in a two-bedroom suite, which is excellent value for money.

As per the other reviews we encountered the same problems with booking. As we were moving from Brisbane to Melbourne we only booked accommodation on the road as we felt like stopping, if I’d read these other reviews before booking I may have reconsidered! Yes these apartments are sublet so there’s no reception on site so checking in or any problems have to be phoned to their hotline. But once we got all the checkin details we needed (3 phone calls later) we checked in and got settled. The apartment was lovely, spacious and self contained so we could get a load of washing done and could’ve cooked food if we wanted. So as far as the room itself we were more than satisfied for the price. But they do need to either sort out these obvious problems or clearly advertise to customers exactly what they are getting. I also agree with the complaints about the car parking, it involved more than one phone call to book, pay for, get the access code and drive around to find a non resident car space. It’s a shame the process is such a headache as the apartments are nice. I would stay here again but be warned of the muck around that comes with it.

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.

I’ve stayed here before, but my most recent stay was underwhelming. After I checked in, I got the luggage from my car. I had quite a lot with me and I was loading it on a trolley (I was clearly struggling) and 2 staff members stood there talking and just watched me! After I loaded everything on and was pushing it inside only then did one of them reluctantly ask ‘are you right with that?’. The very long corridors were inconvenient to push so much luggage with no assistance. While my room was clean and tidy, I noticed when I got into bed that the sheets smelt as though they had been left in the washing machine too long and had that odour to them. I didn’t bother complaining as when I checked in I was told they have me in a disability room because ‘that’s all we had left to put you’. The smell was so strong that when I got home I realised my pyjamas had the same odour to them. I got room service one night and the food was awful. Staff member who checked me out was lovely, and this time, a staff member immediately offered (politely) to help get my luggage in my car. I would give this hotel another chance purely because other times everything has been fine, but this experience was not so great!

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 ;)

Great staff, great service. Easy to go around Newcastle and also close to the Honeysuckle Tram stop that takes you to the Newcastle CBD and the beach. Breakfast was good, make sure you include jn the package for your stay otherwise it will cost you $32/person per breakfast. The only negative things here are : The swimming pool is too small. The exhaust fan in our room won't turn off, its always on. The aircon kept turning off every 2 hours or so by itself so when we slept here for 3 nights, every night i was sweating as the aircon was turned off by itself eventhough i did not put any timer on. The restaurant is not serving proper meal as no head chef available, so we had to go to Marketown for dinners. The parking why should we pay? I think it should be included on the price. I understand that limited spot, but they have spots up the ramp too, they not using it. Also , when its full, they seem to squish in more cars, in one night we stayed there, we had to park in front of the shed which not suppose too, but thats because the staff maybe promised the people that coming late that parking is available. No it was not, there was no spot left although we already checked in the night before, we still can't get the spot.

YHA Newcastle Beach

YHA Newcastle Beach

3.9/525 Reviews
For a hostel, the Newcastle Beach YHA is a great value for money. Location is perfect, 5 minute walk to the beach, right off the light rail from the train station and overall quiet (minus weekends). The vintage home has great curb appeal and is in overall good condition inside. The stained glass windows, deep couches and foyer/staircase are very comfortable to relax in. Kitchen is a little tired but overall in good condition and well stocked. Laundry worked well too and powder is available for sale. The bedrooms can get really warm and stuffy, even with the window open. And with no air con, summer would be hot here. Good storage with outlets in the rooms but the bed squeak and move around a lot of both bunks are filled. WiFi works well in the common space too. And the hostel has activities during the week, like a free sausage sizzle, which was fun. My only quibble was how well the WHV kids living there cleaned the place. Watching a few of them while eating or cooking, it seemed like a quick touch and go job. Kitchen doesn’t seem to be cleaned out regularly as I could smell rotting food regularly in the fridge. Would recommend it and would stay again, but if you want quieter atmosphere, don’t go on weekends.

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.

This was booked for us by friends who live in Newcastle. We were very happy with the room and the amenities. The free breakfast provided plenty of choice but the fruit provided was unripe pears and this was summer when local fruit is in abundance. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and overall our two night stay was very pleasant

Grand Hotel

Grand Hotel

4/5100 Reviews
We have stayed at the Grand many times and have always loved it for its history, architectural style, and cleanliness. We were greatly disappointed by our last stay, to find the attention to detail was lacking and the room (Grand room 7) was in a state of disrepair. The bathroom had broken towel rails and moldy tiles, missing stonework from the fireplace, random scruffy miss-matched furniture, a grubby ironing board in the poorly built wardrobe, the pillows were thin and lumpy. The accommodation is not at the high standard it once was and it's sad to see the once smart and stylish decor has deteriorated. Also, be aware, the website advertises on-street parking, however, this part of town is very busy and it's tricky to find a park in the street or the parking station across the road, which charges $40 for 1 overnight stay. This hotel is in an excellent location and is close to the beach, cafes, and CBD. There are lovely views of the Cathedral from the corner balcony and you can hear the sea at night. I hope the hotel management will take the time to repair the damage in the rooms and give the place a good scrub and replace some of the out-of-place furniture. We love this place but would hesitate to stay again based on our last experience. Currently, it does not meet the standard expected for 4-star accommodation, and at $179 per night, it was very disappointing.

Awesome accommodation, amazing and compassionate staff (especially Demi). The rooms are always clean. There can be better rooms for the same price/cheaper elsewhere but I always prioritise The Lucky when booking as they always look after us. Additional bonus, they have a lift for accessibility.
