Reviews for Rydges Hotel Newcastle
Bruce Toovey
Happy hour on Friday (4 to 6pm) First visit. Unexpected live music. Drinks menu seemed great. However when we ordered and were being served, confusion reigned supreme. The male bar attendant perhaps needs more training on how to promote the happy hour offerings. The menu should also state what type of wine is available during happy hour (red/white style, sparkling) then, customers will experience a far more pleasurable visit without the hassle. Also, revamping the Bar menu will take away stress for the staff as well. No complaint though on the traditional margaritas 2 for 1 price. The bar tender charged $22 plus $6 for the dark beer. Hmmmm.

Lovely hotel tucked right on the waters edge in a wonderful part of town. I have always wanted to stay here and I am glad I did. Every single staff member was extremely friendly and nice. Room was newly renovated, dinner and breakfast were great and check in was a breeze. I am not sure of the parking situation but vallet for $35 means you can ditch the car and just walk around Honeysuckle.

We really enjoyed our stay! The ocean views were absolutely stunning — waking up to that view each morning was a real highlight. The service throughout our stay was friendly and helpful, and the valet parking was a breeze — quick, efficient, and stress-free. The pool area and games room were fantastic, especially for the kids. They had plenty to keep them entertained, which made it easy for us to relax. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-presented, offering a nice space to unwind after a busy day. One small downside was that the room didn’t have a microwave or any cutlery, which would have been convenient, especially when traveling with children. But overall, it was a great experience and a very family-friendly place. Would definitely consider coming back! Also Buffet breaky was a hit!

Rydges is our home away from home when in Newcastle, we won’t stay anywhere else. The location is superb, central and within walking distance of everything. Valet parking is a breeze and gives you peace of mind knowing your car is secure. The staff at Rydges are very friendly and efficient, nothing is too much trouble and they really make you feel welcome. Food and room service is fantastic and the views are perfect! It’s hard to beat sitting back, sipping on a cocktail while overlooking the harbour.You won’t find better than Rydges. ♥️

Nice place to stay, beautiful view. Nice atmosphere, lovely staff. Rooms were lovely, only feedback I would give would be around cleanliness. The room wasn’t clean. Dirty glasses, hair in the shower, the wooden bed head was greasy, some of the carpet hadn’t been vacuumed and I opened up the toilet lid to find a number two in the toilet. Shame, as the hotel itself is lovely.
