The venue was convenient, clean and a great location for accessing the city of Newcastle. I did need to use WIFI and, while it was available, it was a free low speed throttled service. I would like to have known in advance that I had to pay extra to access a usable data rate.

The bed was high which I really liked, however the pillows are way too thin, plus there’s only 1 extra pillow so no good when 2 people want 2 pillows. I used the spare blanket under my pillow to try and raise it up a bit. The cupboard the fridge was in is old and tacky. You can see water damage. No big deal but looks old cheap and nasty. Shower was good. Some of the outside of the room doors were pretty filthy. Great location and no fuss with check in or out. Plenty of food options around . Really loved some of the decorations around the place, like the silverchair album cover and Aboriginal history stuff. Will stay again if I need to be in Newcastle.

2 night stay at Ibis, Newcastle

A typical Ibis facility, if you have stayed in one before you know what to expect. Smallish room and bathroom, fridge, TV, Kettle, etc. OK for a couple of nights when travelling. Can get paid breakfast downstairs.

Easy to catch tram to various places. Walk to Coles supermarket. They clean every second day. I asked for my room to be cleaned on the second day at reception in the morning. I came back in the afternoon. It was not cleaned. The housekeeping had finished for the day. I even left the cardboard message for my room to be cleaned on my doorknob that faced the corridor. I had to get new towels and a bathmat by calling reception after 5 pm.
