The Grand Hotel Newcastle

I loved the character of this beautiful old building I stayed in room 19 The bathroom was very spacious i liked how there were 3 separate cubicles for toilet, bathtub and shower Tvs and fans in both rooms was great as were the microwave,toaster,fridge and tea/ coffee making facilities Two separate rooms was a great option for my family I realise it might not be an option but i think it would be good if you could install a lift for the accommodation We checked in got ourselves organised and went off to a show on the way down i actually had a bad fall at the bottom of the staircase where the carpet changes near the hall stand I would love to be a guest in that room one day in the future but although the staircase is beautiful i couldnt manage walking up and down it again Otherwise we had an enjoyable stay

Stayed here overnight with the kids. Beds were very comfortable. Rooms were well equipped. Walking distance to the beach and parks. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great place to stay

The only reason I gave facilities a 4 is because it is undergoing renovations. We were not bothered by the renovations at all however. The pub’s poker machines have been removed to make way for a bigger family-friendly bistro area. Great idea! The property has been sensitively restored with great respect shown for its age and period. Facilities received a 4 only because the TV didn’t have ability to stream but that didn’t affect us. The food is great. Our room was surprisingly quiet, especially considering a jazz evening was in progress which is very popular. We didn’t hear it from our room. We had a beaut clean warm spacious room with a good ensuite and a balcony for a very competitive price. The staff were extremely friendly, professional and accommodating including the bar staff, the manager and the cleaner. They all either offered or went above and beyond. The manager even seemed to anticipate my requests before I’d even asked. The location is perfect, being within short walks to a number of beaches, the CBD, the beautiful Newcastle foreshore, King Edward Park, the bogey hole, the ferry to Stockton, lots of cafes and restaurants and the 6km walk to Merewether. Parking can be expensive but we found a free parking space a walk away from the pub and left the car there for the duration of our stay as we just walked everywhere, even at our advanced age! We have been there before and liked it so we went back for longer and would like to go back again sometime. Highly recommend!

Great stay. Quiet, comfortable and great location. Great price for a family room.

It was a nice and comfortable spot to stay for a quick family event. Clean and friendly staff.

Lovely old pub full of character. Our room was on the top floor, so quite a climb up the stairs, but it was spacious, with a separate bedroom and pull-out sofa in the other room, making it perfect for traveling as a family. The bathroom had a separate shower stall and bath stall, with the toilet in another stall and sink in the main part of the bathroom. The kitchenette area had a microwave and sink as well as the bar fridge. There was also a table and chairs to eat at. We enjoyed our stay, the location was very convenient and we walked in the evening to the main restaurant part of Newcastle, which was an easy walk. We will definitely be back
