Recently refurbished room, very clean and comfortable. My only complaint was the shower had no water pressure and was almost dripping out of the rain head which made the experience frustrating and slow.

I love staying here when in Newcastle. The location on the waterfront but close to city restaurants is perfect. The rooms ( suites) are the best layout I have encountered, with a kitchen bench and sink, comfortable sofa and desk opening up to a well appointed bedroom with plenty of room for bags and a large en-suite with lots of bench space to hold all your bits and pieces so they don’t get lost or left behind.

The room was freshly renovated with nice view. Property really well located however I had a room on the first floor in between rooms being renovated. Builders were working there the whole time...woken up by hammering and my planned afternoon sleep on Saturday afternoon not possible due to drilling. Staff lovely and valet parking very easy.
