Location is terrific - only steps from Civic train station - and right along the Esplanade. We enjoyed the walk along the waterfront, but didn't enjoy the loud crowds walking along at midnight. Sights out the window were interesting - parasailing, tankers, etc., but had issues with the tankers sounding off at 3:20 in the morning. This is one of... more

We were woken by the horn of a sea vessel, upon opening the bedroom blinds I was shocked by the sight of a huge container ship slowly passing by our hotel no more than 100 metres away, a brilliant sight to start a day in Newcastle. I had booked thru the Priorities website for $158 for the suite & an... more

We stayed for just the one night in a club room which was very well appointed and accomodated three of us in comfort. We found the staff to be excellent particularly the girl in the club lounge, who was tremendously helpful, providing all sorts of advise and printing out maps for us. more

Although more expensive then others, this hotel is worth it. It's in a lovely location on the water, with great facilities, good staff and close to some good restaurants and bars. Rooms are large and beds comfortable. I'd be happy to recommend this hotel to others. more

We had the best room yet this time - room 409 - it was great with view straight to the Harbour with two little balconies - one from bedroom, one from living area -... more

This is an... more

There were 2 TV's although we didnt watch them. There was a small kitchenette with a decent sized bar... more

I booked through the IHG website when they had their 'Igloo Sale' on so i did get a good rate $119, whereas wotif and IHG's normal website had it $200+. Upon arrival, property looks impressive. According to the confirmation I got from IHG, i booked a "1 QUEEN BED WITH CITY VIEW", we got a "1 DOUBLE BED WITH HEDGE... more

Picked up a great rate online for about $120. Stayed for 1 night and found it quite enjoyable. A nice spot on the harbour, great rooms (big) and not too far to walk into town or the surrounds. Would stay again. more
