Basic accomdation in central Newcastle. Shared bathroom is fine. For one night it is fine for travellers. The pub downstairs is convenient. Plenty of street parking.

Motorbike ok.
Nice atmosphere and location. Just shame no fan operational. Little bit hot and stuffy until open windows and door for a while.
Some old fashion entertainment.

Good value - I heard the pub music till midnight and some traffic noise in the morning so not the quietest location. Staff were great and pub is nice place to hang out. There is nothing in the room other than a bed and sink.

Review of current room product cleanliness
Check in was great.
Greeting by bright bubbly staff who are super helpful.
- Room overall was not up to hygiene standard.
The cushions was dirty and digusting, with stains on them representing they hadnt cleaned.
- The bed linin also had black stains on them and in them additionally there was a blood stain on the doona.
- The bed itself was two single beds put together to make a larger one.
The room was advertised as queen. Being the two singles together do make a queen this is not the impression of a queen size bed we had booked in mind.
- Under the bed was disgusting. Clearly the two single beds havent been moved to clean under it. There was cut nails under the bed, loads of dust.
- The curtains also had what looked like to be snot.
All in all for needing a place to rest your head, it is okay.
For hygiene purposes it did not feel like the cleanest place.

What a great place to stay will surely stay there again Thank you to all staff
2nd time we have stayed here and it is absolutely convenient and affordable.
The king size bed is so comfortable and the ensuite has a bath if you want.

The staff were amazing, but no air conditioning upstairs where the rooms were and was like a sauna it was a 30* degree day plus our fan in our room didn’t work properly it was just on slow motion so it was very uncomfortable trying to get ready to go downstairs to the pub to a function
We couldn’t sleep because it was very uncomfortable way to hot
Plus soap should be provided in the bathroom for washing hands

Parking was an issue. It would be lovely to have a place to make tea or coffee. A tv in the room would be nice
