For the price it was acceptable but if it cost even $1 more I would have been chasing a refund. Extremelly low quality rooms. Worse bathrooms than most hostels. We only stayed for 1 night as we were doing a long drive and for that purpose it was good, but if you were wanting to see newcastle on a budget highly recommend spending a little more

The staff were friendly and helpful. I think the advert and platform(booking .com) was not helpful in that we ended up paying twice what the average rate was which was frustrating($153 as opposed to $85!!) x 4 rooms. The info on continental breakfast was very misleading and whilst the staff person was very good the facilities were less than basic. This and the after hour food and drink could be significantly improved.

First of all, make a refund at least half of my payment due to waking me up at 6.30am bc of your cleaners next to my door non-stop yelling! I told them to stop but impossible! I left without a sleep and had to drive 3hours way back to Sydney and wasted my time and money! I also struggle to fall asleep the Whole night due to stinky toilet in the room. I only stayed in the 4hours which even I could not sleep! This place is horrible and such scam!!!! I will raise it to fairtraidinf and ombudsman!!!!

In the first room the air conditioning was broken, but the staff were amazing and quickly swapped me to another room. However in that room the bathroom light didn’t work. Despite the faulty rooms, their condition was clean and the staff were amazing. Would stay again.
