Location in the center of Newcastle, close to restaurants and facilities. Parking was very good and safe, but was an additional cost. Staff were friendly and helpful, gym was good. Room size was large and thet kitchen and dining area were very good. Bedroom was large and bed comfortable, a mirror in the bedroom would have been good. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend.

The hotel is situated in a great spot, and despite being on the busy Darby Street, the rooms are quiet. Thew rooms are clean, the bed is comfortable, and the kitchen and bathroom supplies make it possible to eat in if desirable. A negative was that I did not know that I would need to pay an extra amount for secure parking beneath the hotel.
