Clean room - young lady who checked us in was helpful and efficient. However the room we were in overlooked the highway-even though the windows were double glazed, the noise from the traffic was horrific! My advice would be to ask for a carpark side room. Don't bother with the breakfast either!

For the price it was acceptable but if it cost even $1 more I would have been chasing a refund. Extremelly low quality rooms. Worse bathrooms than most hostels. We only stayed for 1 night as we were doing a long drive and for that purpose it was good, but if you were wanting to see newcastle on a budget highly recommend spending a little more

In the first room the air conditioning was broken, but the staff were amazing and quickly swapped me to another room. However in that room the bathroom light didn’t work. Despite the faulty rooms, their condition was clean and the staff were amazing. Would stay again.
