Rydges Newcastle

Great location, right on the water, great views. Rooms a little dated and not overly clean, but nice. Service was excellent, especially from the guys at the front desk. Great for business or families as they have interconnecting room options. Location is awesome and felt super safe. Will be back.

This is my favourite place to stay when in Newcastle. We booked a room with a balcony and ended up with double balconies so floor to ceiling views from the bed and lounge. The only down side was they’ve put frosting on the bathroom window so I can no longer watch the water from the toilet, did love that. We used room service and the food was great, from the restaurant in the hotel and was prompt arriving.

From booking to check out everything was perfect. |The room was clean and well presented with stunning views. |Every team member was polite and well presented and knew their respective areas and roles.|A special mention to Reece and Rayne who went above and beyond to ensure our family stay was perfect. |We will definitely be back.

A beautiful and centrally located hotel with views of Newcastle's working harbour. The Harbour view suite we had was spacious and clean. Reception was friendly and cooperative. We had to leave early and they were so accomodating. I rate them highly just for that. ||If there is a negative, it would be the restaurant experience. The food was excellent but what was a disappointment was the wait time for the food to arrive. It seemed that this was what was expected because apparently we were on some sort of coastal time warp. ||The hotel is close to restaurants in the Honeysuckle precinct of Newcastle. Parking is always a challenge in Newcastle. Wilson's car park is a very short walk from the hotel. The valet parking was $35 a day. A little pricey even for a sydney sider!||Tip: Opt for the harbour view suites. The working harbour left us mesmerised for hours.

LOVED our stay here! We’ve traveled all over the world (in nice hotels) and this was one of the best - were shocked others rated it poorly. We stayed one week and wish we had longer there. Our room was modern, clean, spacious and well-appointed. Service was fantastic all-around (front desk, bar, restaurant, valet). The food and drinks were fantastic. Atmosphere so bright, airy, lively and relaxed but upscale. The pool was delightful and sooo clean. And the location really can’t be any better. A special shout out to Fergus (valet) who helped get/park our car multiple times - such a wonderful and friendly person who we always enjoyed chatting with. We HIGHLY recommend this hotel for business professionals and couples. (Families seemed to enjoy it as well.)

Great location, fantastic staff. The rooms are pretty good, but they were doing renovations when we stayed. We will stay again when the renovations are finished.

Housekeeping let themselves into the rooms of 3/5 of our party at 9am, well before checkout, without knocking or checking if rooms were occupied. Room smelled moudly/like feet. Visible mould spots on curtains and a layer of mouldy dust all along wall next to windows, hasn't been cleaned in a long time. Crappy kettle and ironing board. View is nice and rooms are spacious.

Absolutely loved our stay here, the staff are fantastic. Rooms are clean and the pool is perfect for everyone to have a dip in the late afternoon. The pool water temperature was perfect and the location of the hotel is within walking distance to many bars, restaurants and coffee shops. Our kids loved looking at the boats from our balcony and the sunset was very beautiful.
