Hotel Pantai di Newcastle

Thanks to Scomo's Parenting Vouchers, we were able to stay at the Newcastle YHA (a family room for 4 was just over $100 per night). The location was right next to some of Newcastle's best attractions... Nobbys and Newcastle Beach, Macquarie's Pier/breakwall, Memorial Walk etc. The rooms were basic with linen/towels supplied and the kitchen and bathroom facilities were excellent and clean. Apparently the building was formerly a Gentlemen's Club, then a hospital for nurses during WW1. There's an interesting history but I'll let you research it.

First time at a Crystalbrook hotel. It was a pleasant experience. Rooms are really spacious with nice modern decor/retro design touches. Bed was ok, pretty firm. Room entry is a bit of a wasted space around closet area, probably could have been better utilised. Bathroom was well equipped, probably could have been bigger based on wasted entry area. The hotel has a rather sombre vibe so a bit vanilla in that respect. Restaurant not open Sunday eves so couldn't try. Bar on top level has pretty good views but a bit disjointed between nice bar and seating area in a seperate room. Didn't get a buzzy feeling there. Location was ok, bit out of central CBD but close enough to Darby St eateries so had my Sunday dinner there. Opposite Civic Park and close to waterfront. Loved the ”no plastic bottle” and refillable water stations for an eco friendly experience.

This hotel is in a perfect location and the staff make you so welcome . Rooms are clean and comfortable. James and Daniel at reception are very efficient , lovely lads who instantly made us feel so welcome and continued to look after us throughout our stay . Can’t wait to come back

We spent one evening in Newcastle to have a brief dinner visit with distant family and explore the city before traveling elsewhere in Australia. Our relative called the hotel first thing to see if our room would be available earlier than check-in time, and it was — which was so great after a long day of traveling! The rooms look a little more worn in person than in pictures, but are spacious, fully functional, and clean and comfortable. No complaints at all! Reception staff we interacted with were just plain fantastic! Be aware that they do other tasks besides just staffing reception, so you may need to call them rather than an in-person query. Multiple amazing coffee shops / cafes within a very short walk too, and light rail stops just down the street from the hotel. Would definitely stay here again!

Awesome accommodation, amazing and compassionate staff (especially Demi). The rooms are always clean. There can be better rooms for the same price/cheaper elsewhere but I always prioritise The Lucky when booking as they always look after us. Additional bonus, they have a lift for accessibility.

I liked my room and outlook, very relaxing, with lovely Restaurants a short walk. Good valet parking location, good staff and comfy beds

As per the other reviews we encountered the same problems with booking. As we were moving from Brisbane to Melbourne we only booked accommodation on the road as we felt like stopping, if I’d read these other reviews before booking I may have reconsidered! Yes these apartments are sublet so there’s no reception on site so checking in or any problems have to be phoned to their hotline. But once we got all the checkin details we needed (3 phone calls later) we checked in and got settled. The apartment was lovely, spacious and self contained so we could get a load of washing done and could’ve cooked food if we wanted. So as far as the room itself we were more than satisfied for the price. But they do need to either sort out these obvious problems or clearly advertise to customers exactly what they are getting. I also agree with the complaints about the car parking, it involved more than one phone call to book, pay for, get the access code and drive around to find a non resident car space. It’s a shame the process is such a headache as the apartments are nice. I would stay here again but be warned of the muck around that comes with it.
