Parking options aren’t the easiest. Room service wasn’t the best tasting but apart from those two things it was a great room, great location, close to restaurants, close to transport and great kid facilities.

Hi Hannah,Thank you for providing us with some feedback about your recent stay. We are so thrilled to hear that you had just an amazing stay with us! I will be pleased to share this with the wider team. However, I am sorry that you were unhappy with the room service and parking charge. As I'm sure you noticed, Parking in Newcastle is quite limited and most parking options in the area do come at a cost. We are always happy to suggest alternative areas to park such as on the street and in the nearby multi-level car storage, if guests do not wish to utilize our valet parking service, however the choice is left up to the guest as to what to do. We look forward to welcoming you back to Rydges Newcastle in the near future.

Tired rooms with only free to air TV, poorly managed with dirty rooms and signs everywhere that it needs to be closed and refurbed. - felt like the 90's. Terrible value for money.

Valet parking was the best part of this property. Rooms are tired and needing an upgrade. Usually a rydges bed is amazing but was disappointed in this one. Great location, but hotel is getting too old.
