The Lucky Hotel is a very cute, very clean hotel that’s excellently positioned. The highlight, though, is the truly outstanding service from the staff. Even though the air conditioning was broken in our room, I’d still be happy to stay again due the genuine and thoughtful efforts of the staff.

Fabulous place to stay in Newcastle. Clean, quirky, friendly staff, great food, fantastic location. Light rail stop is right outside the hotel, lots of restaurants nearby and Civic Theatre is a 10min walk down the road. We’ve stayed here a few times and love it.
