My wise grandmother once said, you get what you pay for. With that in mind, I can't really complain about the room, except for the shower. Let's start with the positives! Very large room, olde world charm and heritage look inside and out, Staff very friendly, and the food is great. Being an innner city pub you would think the noise level would be high. On the contrary; at 10 oclock you could hear a pin drop. Very close to the beach and cafes. Old Hunter Street has a great bakery called My Baker. Brilliant. Now the not so positives. I had five showers on my stay 3 were lukewarm at best. The rooms while large and clean are old and need of repairs or refits. The shower temperature has a lot left to be desired, but maybe I was just unlucky in my room. Chipped paint, and a very old bathroom with wood missing on the sill. It has a balcony but the venetian blinds need to be repaired. Overall would I stay there again? possibly but I think I will be seeking an upgrade. Oh yes just be warned no lift, beautiful grand staircase to climb.

Staff were nice and helpfull

The only small problem was the number of stairs we had to go up to our room. Need to be very fit. And we are 64 carrying baggage as well, but the beer went down well.

The old world charm and having a balcony to yourself - awesome place and great staff.

Room simple but included all needed elements. Queen bed two singles pushed together. Need to avoid the gap.

Location is perfect

The hotel is in an excellent location and has an old- time charm. The staff were excellent: very friendly and helpful. The food was very good. The bathroom had been renovated and had a great shower with excellent water pressure.

Well it is an Old Pub so dont expect it to be pristine, It is a Grand old Pub and just leave your ego at the front door and enjoy what this pub has to offer, Cold Beer and good Pub Grub and good conversation.

The room was spacious (we were in grand room 7), had access to a balcony, was clean (though dated) and the bed was extremely comfortable. As the check in is done by bar staff, there wasn’t a lot of help or guidance as to what to do in the area or places to eat. The bistro at the hotel had great food and a great nearby cafe (Xtraction) where we went for breakfast. Whilst there was a kettle and toaster, there were only two coffee mugs and two glasses (which were used to hold the milk packets in the fridge ). No plates or cutlery, besides one teaspoon. There was nothing to wash/dry the dishes with. But whilst spartan, it was comfortable and we’d stay there again (we now know what to bring). It was very close to Newcastle beach.

Motel rooms could use some repairs

Pub accommodation comfortable for overnight stay.Onsuite room handy.

Everything I needed, good location, helpful staff.

The staff was helpful and friendly, the room was clean and tidy but only the mattress wasn't in good condition so couldn't sleep well. Otherwise it was good

Great room. We loved!

Loved that the property is affordable,clean and staff are excellent and also close to coffee shops and a stone throw to the beach

Good value. Needs a tidy up around windows and blinds. Good shower.

Hotel con exelente ubicacion. El sabado funciono un espectáculo de Jazz muy pero muy bueno. Un ambiente muy grato

Staff were great, food and atmosphere at the venue downstairs were good too. The room is very basic, old and in need of maintenance. For the most part, this is reflective in the price, however the bathroom had mould on the ceiling.

Good room. Spacious. Parking is a big problems the hotel itself is great

Clean room, close to cafes and beach. Late night jazz bar nice surprise
