I don’t usually review hotels because there are often too many negatives or the experience is just average. However, The National Hotel Newcastle stands out as a modern hotel that truly embraces 21st-century standards—something all hotels should aim for. The bed was incredibly comfortable, with the best mattress I’ve ever slept on in a hotel, and the pillows were perfect. I’m particular about cleanliness, and I was pleased to find no dust under the bed, thanks to the blocked-off design. There was a little dust on the bed board shelf, especially behind the iPad holder, but nothing major. The TV was large, high-quality, and had internet access, which is always a bonus. The blackout blinds and screen were excellent and operated with the touch of a button. The air conditioning worked well, though it was a little noisy at times, but not excessively so. The bathroom was well-equipped, with all the essentials and a good, hot shower. The contemporary art photography of the local area in both the room and throughout the hotel added a nice touch. The room offered a nice selection of complimentary coffee capsules and tea bags, along with a coffee machine, although the light in the coffee area wasn’t working (or I couldn’t find the switch). I also discovered a safe in the bottom cupboard and a luggage rack by the wardrobe, which at first glance looked like a folded ironing board. The hotel’s library area was a pleasant surprise—bright and open, with free tea, coffee, and three types of drinking water on tap. There were also USB points, charging sockets, and cubicles for private video chats. I appreciated the use of live indoor plants and original photography throughout the hotel. Another thoughtful touch was the drinking water stations located at various points, allowing guests to refill their bottles. The bar and restaurant area was also pleasant, offering a small but satisfying menu and a fully stocked bar. Additionally, the car park had several EV charging spots, making it convenient for electric vehicle owners. Overall, I had a great stay at The National Hotel Newcastle and look forward to returning!
