Traveled with family
Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
As an alternative to the "normal" practice of staying in hotels, motels, and Airbnb's, we absolutely loved staying in an old, traditional venue like the Grand Hotel Newcastle. Yes, the wall paint is peeling in places and yes the stairs are squeaky and a little dusty but it all added to the atmosphere of vintage photographs and dark timber. The room was huge, the beds were comfortable, the linen was clean and plentiful and the overall ambiance was fantastic. We thought we'd just have a beer at the public bar and then head out to eat but the menu looked too good to miss. Both meals were dressed-up versions of pub standards and were both cooked to perfection. Great value for money and the chance to stay somewhere a little out of the ordinary. Will definitely stay again.

Beautiful old hotel. Will stay again.
Beautiful, old historic hotel, built in 1891 and retains many of its original features. Our room, Room 7, was renovated and very large and comfortable. The balcony wrapped round to give great views around the streets. Comfortable king bed. Reasonably priced dining options downstairs. Handy to Newcastle Beach. Street parking was available.

Good value in convenient location
The hotel was conveniently placed in the city and walking distance to the beach and cafes. I got a very nice dinner in their restaurant and liked it up on the top floor where it was quiet and peaceful. Very good value budget hotel. I would stay here again.
