Great size, fully self contained apartments at very competitive prices. Staff at the front counter are always friendly. Crown on Darby is my go to accomodation when visiting Newcastle for wrork.
What a gem! Right in the middle of a very popular coffee/ restaurant strip & independent shops. Three minute walk to an amazing Art Gallery & entry to Civic Park which is surrounded by a number of significant historic buildings. Seven minute walk to the Foreshore, go left to the dockyards right to the beach or hop on the light rail.
All rooms in the apartment were huge including the balcony. Plenty of room & utensils to cook & eat & the guest laundry was well equipped to complete any washing you need to complete.
Unit was spotless.

Great value, large bathroom, plenty of space and well cleaned.
The hotel was in a very convenient position so we were able to park the car and leave it for the length of our stay and move around by foot or light rail. We also enjoyed catching the ferry to Stockton.
The staff were friendly and the room comfortable and clean.

Friendly and efficient check in. Great sized room - very clean and well set out. Really liked the location - right in the heart of Darby Street, close to lots of cafes, restaurants and shops. Will definitely stay again when we’re next in Newcastle.

Great location and the room was huge. Tastefully decorated and quiet considering it was above Darby street. Parking was easy and staff were really helpful.
