It was a nice place to stay with families. Breakfast was very nice except coffee system. It’s big hotel but room was noisy. In bathroom, there wasn’t hand washing soap. Every time we need to use from body washing soap because it’s all open systems bathroom.

Fantastic location close to restaurants and public transport. The room was spacious and the bed was clean and comfortable. We requested a microwave and portacot in advance but neither was in our room when we arrived. The hotel quickly addressed these issues, which is a testament to their good customer service. The only other downside is the lack of on site parking - there is only valet parking at $35/day - but the service was quick and we never had to wait more than 5 minutes to get our car. Overall, we still had a pleasant stay at Rydges Newcastle and would recommend it to other travellers.

We had a great stay at Rydge’s Newcastle. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, the kids loved the pool with the waterside. It’s very easy walking distance to a number of great places to eat, or even just for a stroll down the boardwalk. We will definitely stay again.

Great position on the harbour with extensive boardwalk in either direction. Very nice room although a bit dated but everything worked well. Cafe a little overpriced but only ate there once. Parking is off site so not most convenient. Staff friendly

The restaurant is nice and the buffet breakfast was very good, though only the standard things you would find anywhere, with nothing unique. The parking is bad - most of the immediate street frontage bordering the drop-off area is no parking, then paid parking beyond that. The actual drop-off zone, described on their web site as their "driveway", is actually just the street. There is no driveway and you just have to drive around and around the block until you are lucky enough to get one of the five spaces (or four, if others have parked spaciously). The various staff members we saw at valet parking, reception and the restaurant breakfast intake were either rude, disinterested, condescending or bored. The more junior service staff were very polite and welcoming.
