Great location but in desperate need of a refurbishment. Shower inside a bath with a curtain and freeze dried coffee sachets with tired paintwork and tiling. Properties of 4 star and above moved beyond this years back

Good place to stay. Location great. Paying for “valet parking” on bill, but it being “park yourself” in a vacant block across the road and offsite was a bit rich. Finding an unused sick bag and empty chip packets strewn under bed when double checking on leaving was a bit ordinary too.

Hi JAF, Thank you for letting us know about your recent stay and for choosing Rydges Newcastle. I'm glad you enjoyed our location and that you think Rydges Newcastle is a great place to stay. I'm sorry to hear you feel paying for secured self parking was a bit rich compared to our usual service which was affected by COVID. I'm also sorry to hear about the rubbish found in the room. This is not our standard of cleanliness and will be looked into by our housekeeping team. Thank you again for your feedback. We look forward to having you back with us again in the near future. Kind Regards, Alexander B

I stayed for 2 nights and I was surprised that I didn’t get a cleaning service. Also the kitchenette had very few utensils. No toaster or microwave

Hi Tom, Thank you for letting us know about your recent stay and for choosing Rydges Newcastle. I hope that you had a pleasant stay and I would like to advise you that currently our housekeeping staff only service guest rooms, provide plates, cutlery and a microwave upon request and I apologise if there was any confusion or miscommunication. We also do not provide toasters as this presents as a fire hazard. We look forward to having you back with us again in future. Kind Regards, Jonathon L
