"The stay got off to a very poor start. The advertisement instructed guests to contact the property to receive a door access code. When I called in the afternoon, the property manager was extremely rude. Even after I explained the reason for my call, I was repeatedly questioned as if I didn’t understand the instructions.

Top Charlestown Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Apollo Hotel Newcastle

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean. Staff are always great"

The Grand Hotel Newcastle

8/10 Good

"Fine place to stay, the rooms were a bit small / cramped e.g. found myself having to maximise use of available space to iron a shirt, but overall it was comfortable and staff were helpful. We did have an issue which the staff sorted out excellently and quickly so definitely good service. Would stay again for a place to sleep, less so to spread out. But that also may have been that we got a smaller room."

The Gateway Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The same thing I dont like everytime at this hotel is also the only thing I ever have to complain about @ The Gateway Inn... & thats when I have to leave. (Sad Face) I just love this place, the staff are so wonderful & are always happy to go the extra mile yet so modestly & kindly make you feel like nothing is a bother or too much to accomodate in their efforts to show that you're valued as a customer & feel welcomed like a family friend. The vibe is like a big safe warm hug. The rooms provided are generous in space, ameneties are varied & top notch & the customer service extended is of international standards. And No I wasn't promised anything to say all these great things about the Gateway, but Ive tried the rest & dont even have to guess you'll be impressed- by the Best Hotel in town!!"
