YHA Newcastle Beach
1.0 star property
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (92)
"The location is excellent. It's close by to the light rail station and bus stop. It's also close to the beach! Plenty of dining option nearby. The facilities are also great. I especially like the lounge area. Most importantly, I feel safe staying there as a solo female traveller. Feedback: The pillow case and the blanket in my single room has stains on them. "

8.0 out of 10, Very good, (14)
"Far too many long-term residents and they are very chummy with the staff. Up yelling and screaming in the common room, calling indoors without meaningful comments from staff. I felt like we were guests in THEIR house. No secure storage in the dorms. Eva at the front desk was great with local suggestions."

Jesmond Executive Villas
4.0 star property
7.6 out of 10, Good, (1753)
"It was pouring rain and we had to park a fair way from our unit. Bathroom had mould on the ceiling and I could write my name on the bedside table and lamp. Decor was very good and in spite of this I would probably stay there or in the same accommodation again. Much less stressful than a small motel room. "

Little National Hotel Newcastle

Little National Hotel Newcastle

5/5 Excellent
"Loved this hotel. Even though the way the bed was made up meant only one person had access to get into bed, the other person would have to climb over during the night which is not convenient. So we changed the location of pillows etc which worked for us. No where to hang clothes in bedroom just a mirror. No bowls in kitchen. But other than that got used to everything digital and the gym is best one for any hotel i have stayed. The staff were amazing and Marco made me feel so welcome as soon as i arrived. Would definitely stay again"
