BEST WESTERN PLUS Apollo Hotel Newcastle

As usual the staff were very helpful. The room was ready on arrival. The restaurant was neat and well set out and the meals were delicious. The breakfast was very good with options for continental or a cooked breakfast or both. Even though we were on a busy road, the room was quiet with a lovely forest outlook. The bed was very comfortable. We particularly liked that we could open verandah door at night and not use air conditioning. We were very close to Newcastle Private Hospital and John Hunter Hospital and very close to both Kotara and Charlestown shopping malls.

The staff was very helpful from the start. The room that was offered to us was quite spacious and did the accommodate our family of three. Dream was large and clean, and the balcony gave us a beautiful view of the nearby rainforest. We did get to enjoy the pool, which was quite deep to accomodate experienced swimmers, and hopefully the restaurant next time, which seemed to have a very appetising menu. The location was also great, only a few minutes by car to the closest shopping mall, and about 15 to 20 minutes to the main beach. Highly recommended as it was a great surprise for us who don’t get to travel to Newcastle often.

The staff were amazing from both the hotel and Babbingtons. It was clean and family friendly. Also kids eat free as long as the aldults purchase something from the menu. It was well priced and the food was delicious. I especially liked the fact that all you had to do was walk downstairs and have a meal.

The staff make this place excellent. So helpful and friendly, and they really went the extra mile to make sure I had a good stay. Rooms are comfortable, I had a balcony room and loved being 'up in the trees'. Bed was super comfy. TV functioned well with good access to streaming services. Only things I can fault is that internet was a bit patchy at times and the air conditioner smelt a bit musty but with the time of year I was able to just open the door to the balcony and not use it.

The room was large and we enjoyed the balcony (which included a screen door) and private bush views. We even saw several native birds. The bed was amazing and fabulous sheets, pillows and towels. The facility offers level parking around the building and we were able to park adjacent to a guest entry door for easy access to our room. The bathroom was well appointed with toiletries and even had a wall mounted magnifying mirror. We dined in the restaurant and enjoyed a fabulous meal and the staff are very professional and friendly. The facility has a large foyer and a lounge bar - the property is surrounded by native bush which provides both privacy and a great outlook. The property is a short drive from a mammoth multi storey shopping centre / mall that offers everything you’d need…..groceries, bottle shop, cafes, restaurants, coffee and retail outlets.
