We had a comfortable enough room, very clean and just like the ad shows. It wasn't anything too fancy, but you get what you pay for. It's located 8.6km away from Newcastle city center, so if you're traveling by car, you'll be fine. It was a great option for a last-minute reservation during the holiday season. The highlight of our stay was the attention we received from a lady at the reception. She treated us really well and gave us detailed information about the accommodation and the city. She even told us about a Kangaroo reserve close to the hotel, which was a delightful experience. I would definitely stay there again.

If you aren’t booking in the last minute you can find better places for the same price.

Karen always looks after me when I stay and was kind enough to give me an upgrade, which I very much appreciated (thanks Karen !). Rooms are always clean and comfortable and quiet. Pub/Bistro/Bottle shop downstairs means you don't need to drive anywhere for dinner. Food is always good too. This is my go-to when I travel to Newcastle. Highly recommend !!

no complaints from me !

Reception staff were brilliant, explained and showed us the car parking area, Took us up to our room, explained keys, lifts etc, showed us restaurant and bar areas and where to have breakfast the next morning. Restaurant staff were great, dinner was good and very tasty, when we asked about the early room service for breakfast as my husband had to fast from 7:30am they made sure we had breakfast early. Excellent and friendly service from everyone at the Blackbutt Inn. We'd stay there again.

Possibly the cleanest hotel room I've ever stayed in. Modern room and ensuite. Super quiet. The bed was very comfortable. The reception staff were very friendly, thorough and helpful. The pub restaraunt downstairs was reasonably proced and the dinner and breakfast were outstanding. Again the pub staff were very friendly and welcoming. It far exceeded my expectations. I was a bit trepidatious about staying in a "pub" accomodation as a solo female traveller but I honestly felt very safe and secure. Well done guys! I will absolutely stay again if I am.ever passing through Newcastle again.

No complaints at all.

Couldn't believe how quiet the room was given that we were above a busy pub on a Saturday night. Comfortable bed, tea and coffee making facilities, mini fridge, good size TV, very clean. Great food in the pub downstairs!

On street parking. No where to make the tea and coffee (no table/bench space), small room, Not particularly cheap given how far it is from the centre of Newcastle and the beach.

The guy at the reception has been very kind and professional. He showed us where to park our car safely and a little tour or the hotel,restaurant, pub and bottle shop. Everything was clean and tidy

The view from our room window was just a metal roof. Which is not a big problem. The room window was sealed it couldn't be opened

Room was somewhat small but comfortable and clean. Bed was very comfortable and my room was quiet. Minimal noise from the pub downstairs.

It might have been nice to be able to open windows but I suspect this was a noise proofing consideration as the venue hosts bands.

comfortable beds, excellent shower. Restaurant downstairs food was good. staff were helpful and friendly. great nearby patisserie and street parking of an evening was easy.

There was a band on in the pub downstairs Saturday evening which was pretty loud in the room, but it was all over by 11.30pm so not too bad. On the flip side it was a shame the pub closed early Sunday evening as we tried to grab a drink just before 9pm but was closing as too quiet.

The room was very clean, uncluttered. The room is fairly well soundproofed so you don't hear much of the music of bands downstairs. A lift and stairwell up to the rooms are available, the pub was nice. Didn't try the restaurant but it seemed busy (busy in a good way). The checking in process is at the post office/ newsagent connected to the pub on the ground level. All the staff at the pub and post office/newsagent/check-in were very nice and helpful. Also a short car ride to Blackbutt park which I recommend.

Nothing.

Always a comfortable stay here with friendly and welcoming staff. Convenient location with bistro and bar downstairs and bottle shop/newsagent at reception/check in. Food is always good. Stayed here numerous times for work trips and will keep coming back.
