Guest Reviews
- Emilios A (5/5): - The beds The aircon filters were caked on in dust causing my son to cough and sneeze throughout the stay.
I removed the filters in the middle of the night to clean them (I am a licenced contractor) but the damage was already done in regards to my son's allergies.
The room was somewhat clean, but the dust was a major issue for my son as the air cons in rooms would have just circulated dust around the apartment.
Also, $35 to place your vehicle behind a gate for not even 24 hours.

- Qiaoli (8/5): Comfortable and good value stay - The reception staff is exceptional. We received a call from the reception regarding to our special requirement. They arranged early check-in but we did not manage to arrive Newcastle till 2:30pm. The receptionist was very friendly. The kitchen was well-equipped for a proper dinner cooking. We have no windows to let in fresh air and the shower area is quite cramped for me and my daughter.

- Mitchell (9/5): - Building looked great. Staff were amazing. Space was huge. Room was so clean Furniture didn’t match the building and felt cheap
- Brustolin (9/5): Pleasant, comfortable & well located - Had a gym and parking Couldn’t get secure parking
- Celine (8/5): Perfect for what I needed for a one night stay in Newcastle. - Breakfast did not apply to me as don’t eat breakfast.
Want to point y out that the staff were very friendly and helpful.
Big call out to James who was great over the phone and in person. Please let him know his recommendation for the local Indian was excellent.
Also I arrived at the wrong Quest and the girl at reception was super helpful. Rang James to say I was coming and also got someone to chase me as I left my water bottle behind. She took the time to explain on the map where I needed to go.
For James and his colleague it was 10/10 for customer service. The customer service skills of your staff and their demeanours.

- Charlie (10/5): The room was fantastic the lady I met at reception was not welcoming - I asked the woman who’s was on receiption why the 200 dollar hold on my card came out of my account I was under the impression the hold is a hold not a transaction The staff at reception
- Avi (10/5): The staff were wonderful and very accommodating of our late night check in, especially the lovely lady who was the night - Everything was wonderful. The building is stunning
- Susan (10/5): Excellent - Excellent handover of keys collected from reception and both receptionists were very helpful. Excellent closed parking facilities.
Our suite was very clean and close to all amenities.
- lorrael2023 (10/5): Can't recommend highly enough - This property was in a perfect position for my requirements.
The studio apartment was very spacious and nicely decorated. It had all the amenities required.
I was given a parking space in the ungated area at a cost of $25 per day. When the bollard wouldn't lower on my return at about 11pm on a Saturday night I was able to contact the night manager who gave me another spot, walked me out to my car and walked me back to the hotel (to ensure my safety) after I parked my car. He was apologetic and helpful in sorting this out quickly.
All the staff were very friendly and helpful.
I can't recommend Quest Newcastle West highly enough.
- Sean (10/5): Well appointed studio room which won’t disappoint the fussiest of guests! - Staff were fantastic. Met me in the car park on arrival. Old style chocolate machine in the hallway was a nice touch and needed after a long drive. Slight detractor was a smoke alarm sounding off at 3am requiring an immediate evacuation into the carpark by all guests. Well handled by staff members. Entry to the hotel was difficult in peak hour traffic. More a town planning issue but could be addressed with google maps to ensure a better route is taken to the hotel. Had to spend 15 min in traffic only meters away from the hotel to double back around for entry.
- Gail (10/5): Very enjoyable - I really like the repurposed warehouse building. The staff were very pleasant and helpful including helping my after hours problem with the hot water! That’s my only complaint - it took sooo long for the hot water to start flowing. The time it took for the hot water to flow to the shower.
- Denise (8/5): Convenient, extremely large rooms, very comfortable. - Rooms were big, clean, convenient parking
- Laura (7/5): - Très sympa! Le personnel est accueillant. La chambre, située au rez de chaussée, est un peu sombre.
- Jessica (3/5): Disappointing - Good location Room stunk. No air flow, no fan or ability to open windows. Everything had a damp feel to it.
- Hallett (10/5): -
- Oriana (10/5): Excelente relación calidad - precio - Muy limpio, todo se veía como nuevo. Excelente atención.
- Vic Alvin (9/5): Great location and great staff! - Location .
- Tony (7/5): -
- AMANDA (7/5): - Very nice staff and very accommodating Air conditioning was mouldy and the room was dated. Windows don’t open and there are no fans.
- Elissa (10/5): Quest is exceptional - Loved the size of the room and the amazing customer service. Loved the feel of the building, old with new. Easy access to the interchange.

- Annette (10/5): -
- Davika (8/5): We really enjoyed our stay and would came back to stay in the future. - The staff were friendly and helpful. They made a conscious effort to offer us an alternative room after the initial room was not suitable. The initial room was very stuffy and smelled very strong of disinfectant which i was very sensitive too.

- Taylah (10/5): -
- Murray (10/5): -
- Barry (7/5): -
- Rachel (1/5): - I liked nothing, Novotel closer to Newy beach in town is the same price and has way nicer staff. Never had I experience so much discrimination from the main reception lady to the middle aged privileged 'novocastrian' owner. I'd take your money else where and support local Airbnb businesses over these hotel chains. This hotel and it's owner is a prime example of what capitalism has done to a Newcastle town that newy once was. The cleaning staff lie about items in the room and then blame you for stealing them, try and take your $200 bond. and honestly this is a huge red flag considering the cleaning staff have access cards to all your rooms. I did not feel safe with joining rooms and no CCTV on the other side eif the building where your windows are. super dodgey. The hot headed staff, I only experience one nice receptionist
- Kylie (10/5): -
- BJ (10/5): my fave Newcastle accommodation - Super close to Newcastle interchange, places of interest and restaurants. Studio apartment is huge and the kitchen is great. Nil

- Judith (10/5): Great quiet location with all the comforts - The apartment was well appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay.Rooms were quiet and the staff really friendly and helpful Only one lamp on one side of bed and PowerPoints in room should be accessible both sides of bed
- simone (9/5): -
- kathytF6403DA (10/5): All good - As always we enjoyed our stay TV in bedroom wasn't working well though
- Chris (10/5): My first choice for staying in Newcastle - This place is very classy with the friendliest staff. The location is perfect for exploring Newcastle.
This is now my first choice when visiting. Thank you to the Reception team for being so welcoming I was sad to leave. The only problem I had
- Shatha (8/5): -
- Sightsee00434320181 (4/5): Uncomfortable feeling - I booked a three-night stay at Quest Newcastle West. On the day of check-in, we were given Room 113B. When we opened the door, there was a strong damp and mouldy smell, as if the room had not been occupied for a long time. The layout of the room also felt strange. My son and I stayed inside for less than three minutes before we both wanted to leave.
We later requested a room change and were fortunately given another room. However, the uncomfortable feeling from the first room stayed with us throughout the three days of our stay. The second room had a balcony, but there were two buildings under construction across the street. The construction started very early in the morning and continued until late in the evening. As a result, we were unable to use the balcony at all.
Overall, it was not a pleasant experience.
- Dillon (8/5): Clean quiet overall great experience can’t help about the neighbors would stay again preferably highest level in the bui - Very clean and quiet The junkies across the road and the weird musky smell down the other end of the hall way
- Hayley (10/5): We'll be back - Great, friendly staff! Lincoln was so warmly accommodating with our requests. Huge rooms and beds! Aircon kept switching off
- Khandoker (8/5): Overall it was great. - Well presented. The room was a bit smelly.
- Nicholas (10/5): -
- Jemma (7/5): - It was very nice inside and comfy good little get away The area was a bit strange and didn’t get my bond back.
- Toni (8/5): - Excellent location, friendly helpful staff. The room was very spacious, comfortable and clean. I would highly recommend this accommodation.

Lots of space
