Clarion Hotel Newcastle South

A bit off the beaten track but it’s only a 15/20 minute drive to the coast. There was plenty of parking - included in the price. Modern, clean dining area and good food. Staff were friendly and incredibly helpful Rooms well equipped. Nice to have a little fridge and air con was essential for a very hot spell of weather. Nice outside seating area.

No real lounge area. Hotter plates for cooked breakfast would have helped. Not all rooms have air con so if this is important to you, check this carefully when you book.

The staff were pleasant and breakfast wasn’t bad

The room was extremely warm and unpleasant environment so sleep in over night. No air conditioning or fan to cool the baking temperature.

Hotel staff friendly polite and extremely helpful

Light leaking in from hallway all night no air conditioning made sleeping extremely difficult nd uncomfortable

Everything

Nothing

Location Friendly staff Facilities

The staff were lovely, i liked the access to the pool. The steam room was hot and so was the pool and jacuzzi. The restaurant was clean and my room was clean. I had 2 hairdryers and I used the iron and ironing board.

I didn't like that the fridge in my room kept make a humming noise every now and then. The tv didnt work very well. The food was basic ( breakfast) don't think its worth the price. Only 2 milks per cup or per drink in the room.

The room was spacious and very well laid out for moving around. It came with a decent size fridge that fit 3 1 litre bottles and some chocolate in easy. The decor was relaxing, the television was a decent size. I used the fan provided and it worked well. The beds were high and comfy with a luxury feel of the sheets and quilt cover, one of the pillows was very thick the other was bouncier for choice. The bathroom had shower over the bath and had a luxury feel to the decor. A tea/coffee tray was provided with ample sachets. Overall this was a great room and hotel with fantastic facilities including a swimming pool and well equipped gym.

It did not include an information pack that could tell you about opening times of gym/swimming pool or even a menu of sorts as they provide room service. That would be a suggestion that I hope is helpful as there was no negative for my stay.
