We had Room 15. Shower box is very small. TV is small. Towel hanging in bathroom is limited to 1. Late night voice noise 2.30am. Also sounded like a dog barking on the premises. Some staff were very pleasant while others put their heads down and did not engage guests with pleasantries.

We liked how clean it was, the location was close enough to central Newcastle and it had a great heated pool and spa.

Very good value for money and it's so close to what is arguably isthe best city beach in the world and Surf House restaurant at the surf club area but you already know that or you wouldn't have picked Merewether!

Great location and friendly staff. Our Room unfortunately had a very bad chemical smell and it was very noisy. Not great insulation so if you have young partying neighbours you will hear it all. But would still recommend.

Entry was from the street behind which was not clear on map and made finding it tricky first time. But convenient, clean, no nonsense. Parking on site was limited, but street parking plentiful
