Crystalbrook Kingsley Newcastle

We had high expectations after seeing the hotel on Travel Guides. I will start with the downsides, there were a couple of long strands of black hair on our bed, must be from the lady who serviced the room. The toilet seat is a bit high for comfort and the room at 29m is definitely on the small side, though big enough for a short stay. There was no pool or even a gym room which is a big disappointment for a 5 star hotel. Also no hotel lobby for easy parking and $50/night for parking is way too much when there is free night parking right outside. We liked the separate toilet from the bathroom, appreciated the free movies on offer. Loved the views from the buffet breakfast Roundhouse, can never get tired of that. We also liked the free filtered water station on each level, this is a big bonus and great for the environment, wish every luxury hotel had this feature. Overall a nice stay and would recommend it if you come to Newcastle as there really isn't much option for 5 star hotels in this city.

Disappointing Stay at Crystalbrook Kingsley

I previously had a great experience at Crystalbrook Kingsley during a business trip, so I was looking forward to my stay this time. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. The room configuration was a bit unusual but manageable. However, the bed was not comfortable, which made for a restless nights. I was also surprised to find that there were no robes or slippers in the room. After requesting them, only one set was provided. Another frustration was the lack of a bottle opener in the mini bar. I called to request one, but it took over an hour to arrive. By that point, I had already gone up to the rooftop bar to ask the bartender for help. Overall, a disappointing experience compared to my previous visit. I expected better attention to detail, especially for a hotel of this standard.
