Dear Kritzay, We greatly value customer feedback and view it as a crucial tool for improvement. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We encourage guests to communicate any concerns during their stay, providing us with the opportunity to promptly address and resolve issues, ensuring that we meet and exceed expectations. Regarding the matter you raised about the bathroom, we want to clarify that it wasn't mould but rather staining in the grout. Rest assured, we have taken proactive steps by professionally steaming and cleaning the affected areas since your visit. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience you faced during the refund process at reception. We acknowledge that errors can occur, especially with new staff undergoing training. Your understanding is appreciated, and we are committed to refining our processes to minimise such occurrences in the future. We hope you will consider staying with us again, giving us the chance to provide you with an improved and more satisfactory experience. Warm regards - Maree, Sales & Marketing

Comfortable hotel at a very reasonable price. Will try the restaurant next time. Great place for an overnight or weekend in Newcastle. Still close to everything without paying too much. They have several stations to charge electric cars .

The staff were very good, the room was clean and tidy. Newcastle centre was just over a 5 minute drive away and we well worth a visit to the area around the port / Nobby’s Beach. Just a bit tricky getting back to the hotel when returning.

Location is great.! Hotel is close to major shopping centre, short drive into CBD and beaches. Hotel is reasonably close to Major Public and Private Hospitals. Staff were attentive, friendly and professional. Despite the continual traffic noise the 2 bedroom unit we stayed in was quiet, clean, had essential daily use equipment and very good hot water pressure for all our showers. We live in regional NSW and chose to stay at the the Apollo International Hotel as I was attending medical appointments near John Hunter Hospital and Specialists near Cardiff and Lambton. Overall the family were very satisfied with our entire trip to Newcastle and thank you to all staff at Apollo International Hotel.
