Guest Reviews
- andrea (8/5): -
- Janine (9/5): -
- Joshua (8/5): -
- Karen (9/5): - Location is central but very quiet, and the price is really reasonable for the quality of the accommodation. Location of tap and new shower screen makes it hard to turn on the shower without being hit by a blast of cold water.
- Adelle (10/5): Peaceful, spacious and exceptionally comfortable stay with phenomenal staff in a fantastic location. - Beautiful apartment and an overall fantastic stay. The room was incredibly clean, spacious, quiet and very comfortable. The beds were excellent, the light blocking was great and I honestly had one of the most peaceful sleeps I’ve had in a hotel in a long time as I couldn’t hear any outside noise at all.
The staff were also wonderful to deal with. I arrived quite late in the evening and they provided very clear and safe instructions for access which made everything stress free. They were also very accommodating with a later checkout request which I really appreciated.
The location is excellent as well, with fantastic restaurants nearby and beautiful walks along the water. I would absolutely stay here again. Nothing

Cleanliness Needs a bit of a paint on doors etc in halls.

- Christine (9/5): - The staff where very helpful
The hotel was close to a lot of great restaurants
- Judi (10/5): - We had a spacious 1 bedroom apartment with sofa bed made up. All super clean and modern, absolutely no noise from the street. Paid parking below rooms. Lots of eateries in the street nearby, plus supermarket. Everything was great.
- Taryn (5/5): Not overally happy - just convenience - The convenience for being in newcastle. Room was not ready on arrival, although I was given the key to go in.
Room was not clean at all on arrival and had a horrible smell from being closed up.
Staff would not provide me with an alternative room as they were fully booked so I waited on reception for 20minutes while they swiftly cleaned the room.
- Caroline (10/5): -
- Luke (9/5): Great. - Great location ,friendly staff , under cover parking Maybe the parking could be free to paying customers??. But neither here nor there really.Was happy to pay for the convenience 👌👌

- Dallas (9/5): Perfect experience - Clean, good location, value for money is exceptional here! Don’t stay anywhere else in Newcastle
- Leigh (9/5): Well priced, comfortable accommodation & well located. - Friendly,helpful staff, great location close to parks, shops & beach. Taps in bath awkward to get to.
- Col (10/5): Awesome experience - Everything we stay regularly Nothing
- Rosi (9/5): Excellent location, studio with kitchenette - Staff are always friendly and the kitchenette essential for me during travel. There was a strong smell of cooking coming into the room from outside at regular intervals. I could also hear the garage roller door in the morning every time a car left. These seem to depend on the room you are allocated.
- Rachel (10/5): Though only a short visit, it was lovely to be there! - Loved the spacious appartments, the location was excellent, and the staff were super friendly - I’ll be back!!
- Jill (9/5): The room was clean, modern, comfortable, quiet and suited our needs perfectly. - Short walk to Civic Theatre, secure parking and many choices for places to eat nearby. Shower gel was empty - however there were small soaps available
- Kylie (10/5): -
- Guest (10/5): -

Street light kept me awake
- James (10/5): -
- Anonymous (10/5): -
- Elaine (10/5): Always good - Location, quality rooms Everything
- Leanne (10/5): Thankyou all was outstanding - the only thing i could suggest is the hot chocolate sachets use hydrogenated - very very bad health thing. i'd change them
- Shelley (10/5): Fab - Perfect for my short stay. Clean, large room.Lovely extra touches. Great location. Friendly and helpful staff. Better than I expected and will stay again next time in Newcastle.
- Peter (8/5): Top location - Two nights at the Crown on Darby. Location was perfect for exploring Newcastle, and Cooks Hill is the best suburb to hang out it.
The apartment was quite well worn but it had everything we needed. The spa bath was good. Mattress very soft. Not the best.
I’m a light sleeper so the unnecessary window without a blind between the bathroom and main room meant the room was bright very early.
Collecting keys outside check in hours (= after 3pm on Sundays) worked fine for us but another couple were having problems and there were no staff around to help.
Cost of parking ($50 for 2 days) seemed a bit hefty but I guess that’s what you have to pay for a city location.
- Guest (9/5): -
- Tracy (9/5): - Great location, comy, clean and staff were friendly No blind near the bed so light was a little annoying coming in from the bathroom windows
- Denes (3/5): -
- Robert (8/5): Position for our needs was perfect the new shower needs to be looked at - Position No windows it felt like we’re stuck out the back like being in a box
- Kristy (7/5): -
- Julie (10/5): -
- Michelle (10/5): Wonderful night at the Crown, will return - Big beautiful room great location for eating Nil
- Delilah Parnell (10/5): -
- Tracey (10/5): -
- Steve (6/5): - Advertised as sound proof but was quite loud between rooms
- Juliettte (9/5): Happy guests - Very clean comfortable accommodation. We wanted for nothing with all toiletries and kitchen appliances etc. Excellent. No problems at all.
- RAFAELA (5/5): - Nice and clean The second shower was not working.
TV remote control was also not working (type automatically without any press).
The shampoo/conditioner recipients were empty.
- Darren (10/5): -
- MILLY (10/5): - everything nothing
- Jaksi (10/5): -
- jon-pier (10/5): Great locating, fantastic room - The room I got was much bigger than I expected. Very comfortable and the location was excellent nothing
- Duc (7/5): Good - Cleanliness, how spacious everything was, balconies the lights were the harsh blue kind of light rather than the muted tones I prefer at hotels. I had to turn the outdoor light next to the bedroom or the TV, or just one lamp. The person responding to my second email and whoever texts could have a friendlier tone, as it's it contrast to the first person who emailed and the people who spoke on the phone.
I had some security concerns about who can access the key in the safety box after hours if you arrive after 5pm.
- Michael (10/5): - Ideal location, excellent price point. This is my go to for Newwy accommodation.
- Darren (10/5): Perfect - Handy to everything Location
- Jordan (10/5): - Excellent space and location! Couldn’t get better
Great to have use of parking facilities
Staff on reception very helpful and friendly
Would definitely recommend
- Javier (9/5): -
- vivien (10/5): - The Crown on Darby was a great place to stay, very very clean ,beautiful beds and great location. Nothing.
- Tegan (10/5): -
- Emma (10/5): Absolutely fantastic accommodation, recommend to all. Will definately book regularly - Spacious apartment beautifully decorated. Very friendly staff. Fantastic location. Immaculately clean. Gorgeous bed and linen N/a
- Feodoroff (9/5): -
- Aaron (10/5): -
- Patrick (8/5): -
- Jennifer (10/5): -
- Rhonda (5/5): We preservered with a bad bed because of position. Worst bed I have stayed in for years - Position
Spaciousness
Cleanliness Bed was so uncomfortable to beds pushed together to make a king. Husband kept rolling towards me all night. Booked 4 nights went home after 3
- Jason (10/5): - Great rooms and location , Amazing service Nothing
- Amir (10/5): Great staff great place stay here often - Location, rooms , quite very nice for short-mid stays Nothing
- Steven (10/5): -
- Leah (8/5): -
- Adam (9/5): Great value for money with friendly staff - Rooms were a very generous size.
- Daniel (9/5): - Great location, room sizes are very large.
- William (9/5): Perfect location, clean, quiet and good value - The room was a good size studio. Fully equipped for a short stay with microwave, fridge, comfortable bed and a desk. Biggest TV screen I've ever had in a room and it had a fantastic picture. I was able to connect and stream to one of my apps with no issue. Interesting that the balcony was enclosed and had louvered open spaces (no windows). It felt a little closed in as there was no actual window to the exterior, but you got sunlight with the patio louvres fully open. This wasn't an issue as we were there for one night. If your stay is longer, you might want a different room configuration with an open balcony/patio.
- Mark and Catherine (7/5): Spacious apartment that suits tall, younger people - Cleanliness, space and comfortable bed Cupboards too high. Shower over bath.
- Kym (4/5): - The remote to the TV didn't work, the shower gel container for showering was empty, and there was black mould in the tile grout of the shower.
- Dean (9/5): Good value and good location - Good value and good location Not much
- Mary (8/5): Great place for an overnight stay - The room was spacious and had all we needed for an overnight stay. The bed was really comfortable. The balcony area was an unusual addition, but worked well for us when we wanted to just sit quietly and relax. The door to the accommodation was very noisy and you have to go through two doors. There is nothing you can do to stop the clunking noise as the door shuts but it disturbed us when our neighbour entered their suite, so it must have been the same for them when we left or arrived. It was also difficult to manage the two doors when you have luggage.
- Suzanne (8/5): - Good location Poor bathroom lighting
