I had a single room and shared ablution, so half asleep left room for a toilet break, without my key pass??? Next 7 hours was fun in the lobby. Thankful for a fire to keep me warm and a spare doona, pillow given to me from a tenant or guest. One for the memory bank ;0)

I had a private room. It was very quiet, had a fan and lovely view. Location is close to the beach and park with a quick walk to city centre. It’s a grand old building with lots of charm and very comfy bed. Dream sleep. Bathrooms clean.

If you like modern and flashy, this is not for you. It's a beautiful old building a stone's throw from the stunning Newcastle beach. Had a double room with fan & TV, even a view of the sea! Perfect for my needs. Will be back :)
