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.

Nice experience overall - great location, clean and modern rooms. Noise wasn’t bad even though it’s in a busy part of town. Only downside is that the showers don’t have a door so the water spreads easily into the rest of the bathroom even with a bathmat. Happy with my stay.
