Rydges Newcastle

Lovely views from room, great location, and nicely decorated facility.

What annoyed me was the fact that we had to pay for car parking. $35.00 a day. What happened to free parking at hotels and resorts. We pay more and receive less 😟

Property was easy to access via private transport or public. Close to Nobbys beach. Beautiful sunrise from balcony of my suite. Right at the pick up point for nova cruises on the harbour. Walking distance to the station for concert. Walking distance to civic theatre. Buffet breakfast had a large variety of items with eggs to order several ways.

Nothing to hold balcony door back with during a breeze to prevent it banging. I used a towel wrapped around the rail. No microwave in room.

Close to restaurants and the water. Nice spot

Very minor detail but the TV is way too high on the wall.

* The room design and decore were great - very spacious and stylish * The room and common areas were immaculately clean * Wonderful location * Our evening meal in the restaurant was really lovely - great setting, view, staff and food

* The rooms and common areas in the section we were placed were being redecorated and had obviously been very recently painted as there were still dust covers in the hall and scaffolding outside our window; unfortunately the paint fumes were so strong that we had to sleep with the windows open, so the room was very cold and we didn't feel particularly secure, being on the ground floor; we also all woke up feeling unwell from the fumes and have a continued over subsequent days to have irritated eyes and throat * The sofa bed was very well-used and uncomfortable * We needed to run the air conditioning during the night to keep some warmth in the room, but the ducting was very noisy * Given the above none of our party slept well which was disappointing
