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.
Elegantly cool.
A truly lovely stay at this centrally located gem. The room was beautiful, with charming, quirky interiors that gave the hotel so much character. The staff were attentive and welcoming throughout my stay. The bed was extremely comfortable, dressed in luxurious linen, making for a great night’s sleep. The supply of tea, coffee and bottled water was a nice touch. The courtyard bar is stunning and a perfect spot for dining or enjoying a drink. Highly recommended.
The room was quiet, spacious and had good amenities. It was in a safe area. The location was walkable to the beaches and plenty of dining options. I would return to this hotel in the future.
Lovely clean room, very quiet even when music is happening in the bar downstairs. Perfect location with light rail right outside.
Staff were great & super accommodating, we really felt that they wanted us the enjoy our stay.

Nice and clean, central and easy access. Provided parking not far away.
I love staying at The Lucky!. The staff are excellent, always happy to assist and always cheerful.
The rooms are great, especially for pub accommodation, and there is a nice lively restaurant in the central atrium.
Location is perfect.
