Newcastle Hotel Guide. Independent Hotels in Newcastle, New South Wales

Very clean accommodation, rooms are very spacious and most importantly, very quiet!

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment. They requested that we park our car in the single garage attached to the apartment. We have a big 4WD and it was a tight squeeze. There was no other option as there is no street parking or onsite reception to ask anyone for alternatives. However it was lovely accommodation and very clean, just have a normal size car.

We booked online when we were driving, once we figured out where we wanted to stop and spend the night. We got there about a half hour before reception closed, only to find that they had not received our booking from Expedia. We forwarded her the booking email we got from Expedia, which helped her. She said she did have a room for us, so we were glad for that. I think we might have got one of the last rooms available, as it was a handicapped accessible room, so it was likely a little different than most rooms. We really liked it, though.

Very nice place to stay, just as the photos showed.

Upon arrival at the hotel I feel that they assume you know where everything is - I always have to ask simple questions - their customer service needs to improve - some of those girls have been there for a while. They give you the registration form to sign and give you the key - instead of asking where are you parked - the garage is here - take the lift to - get my drift - on all occasions not one of them has done this as they look at my profile and say she's been here before - not goog

The staff were very helpful and nice to deal with. The food was well priced, the special (Hamburger & Chips) was delicious and the restaurant had a reasonable 9pm closing time with a good selection of beers on tap.

The staff at this hotel were so lovely and helpful when I had some issues with my booking. I was feeling good about the hotel before I arrived then once I arrived they were just as amazing in real life. The hotel was very clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful again making suggestions of the best places to go for dinner and things to check out around the hotel. The location is perfect for tourists. If I ever return to Newcastle, I'll be looking up the Clarendon.

Nice set out but a couple of problems. Only 1 side of bed has a reading lamp. When anyone, anywhere in the hotel turned a tap on or used flushed the toilet it was so loud, it woke you if asleep.

We stayed in room 19 at the rear of the hotel, which was very quiet. Loved the layout, the living area was huge and spacious and amenities and utensils were all provided for. We stayed for 2 nights on sat & sun (4 & 5 Jun). there's a nice balcony but we were too rained out by the freak storm to be able to chill there, will be a great place to chill in spring/summer. 2 downsides to the stay: 1st- there's a rain shower and adjustable shower head in the bath. however the knob to toggle between the 2 was faulty and we couldn't use the adjustable shower head to shower my child which was a little inconvenient. the reception mentioned that they did not have any service personnel coming in over the weekend and suggested that we make do with the rain shower. 2nd- the aircon in the bedroom was not working properly. it would auto switch off after awhile for no reason. we tried various settings multiple times and let the aircon rest for awhile before switching it on again (on the advice of the reception). but it still did not work. while these were minor inconveniences, i would have given 5/5 if i did not face these problems. washers and dryers are available at the laundry area ($4 per wash/ dry). you have to inform the receptionist first so they can create an account for u to use the washer/ dryers. overall, great place, value for $, will come back again if I'm around the area. thank you!

Self contained private lodgings, very well located to a picturesque river view and views. Quiet as a pin, and very well appointed room and living, kitchen
