Stayed here for work and was very disappointing. The pictures look great and I was not expecting a dark, smokey, dirty pub. The room had been renovated but not well and the bathroom was not as clean as it could be. The noise from downstairs was very loud. Had dinner downstairs (if you can't beat them, join them!) and the... More

We only stayed one night - booked on-line from Port MacQuarie so was a bit worried when we turned up we nearly didn't go in the door. There was no-one in the dark reception but after a short wait but the young lass that came to check us in was clearly not happy to be at work that day,,, so... More

We stayed at this hotel about 3 yrs ago and decided to stay there again. The hotel rooms have deteriorated dramatically in the past few years. They have a strong smell of cleaning products, yet the rooms are dirty with hair in the bathroom and stains on the carpet. The bathrooms are rusty, mouldy and water leaks through the shower... More

Terrible hotel. The owners should be ashamed of this establishment, as well as the way they market this dive of a joint on the internet. Very dissapointed.... More

I was horrified when I finally drove up, Hunter street looks terrible with many boarded up shops I was beginning to think I'd just drive on and find another place to stay, but having paid already I ventured in. The reception is an extention of the bar, with the same stale beer odours. The room was much better than the... More

My partner and I stayed at this 'hotel' for one night as we were there seeing a show at the theater and the location was convenient (the theater is nextdoor.) Going by the pictures provided, it looked nicely done up & I thought it was good value. I was wrong! Our room was so noisy as it was situated right... More

I was a little nervous with this hotel as it faces opposite a railway crossing. However my stay there was pleasant as this did not affect my sleep at night (thanks to the double glazed windows). The restaurant downstairs also serves good food and the location is fairly central to everything. More

I went to Newcastle for 3 days/2 nights for a friend's wedding and to see the Newcastle Jets vs LA Galaxy (David Beckham) game. This hotel is centrally located in the Newcastle town and is within walking distance to the wharf which has plenty of restaurants, bars and pubs. The room was modern and really big. The bathroom was neat... More

I've stayed in this great little place numerous times during business trips and I keep coming back. It's a unique, tatsefully decorated inner city hotel with it's own individual style and charm. The Clarendon has character and I mean this in a good way. Each room is a little different and all I've stayed in are clean and spacious. Other... More
