Best Charlestown Hotels

"Had a great stay at the Best Western Apploo Hotel in Newcastle. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Staff were friendly and always ready to help. Great location—easy access to the city centre and public transport. A solid choice for both business and leisure travel. Would happily stay again!"

"Had a very comfortable stay. The location was perfect, and the place was very neat and tidy."

"It is a very nice, comfortable house, with spa bathroom, very good lighting, with a well-equipped kitchen, a very good option in Newcastle"

"It takes about 2 hours to drive from Sydney to the Mercure Charlestown Hotel in Newcastle. It was less than 1pm when I checked in at the hotel front desk, but the lady at the front desk was very enthusiastic and checked me in immediately. We booked a double bed + single bed room. The room was very clean. The window of the room faces the front yard, and there is a big road outside the yard, but you can't hear any noise even if you open the windows in the room, it's very quiet. The room is cleaned every day and the bed is very clean. Hotel restaurant: We stayed for 3 days and 2 nights, and had breakfast at his restaurant for $27/person. The waiter was very enthusiastic and specifically asked us if we wanted boiled eggs or fried poached eggs (unlike Westerners who use butter to scramble eggs). The breakfast is not as plentiful as in a 5-star hotel, but we were very satisfied with the two breakfasts and the style was enough for us to choose from. We had dinner out on the first night and at his restaurant on the second night. From appetizers + main dishes + desserts, every dish is exquisitely prepared. I usually don’t like taking pictures, but I couldn’t help but take a picture when I saw the appetizers. The service staff are very polite and always ask if we are satisfied after serving the food. Swimming pool: The reason why I chose this hotel was because it has an outdoor swimming pool. After checking in, I read the instructions saying that I couldn't swim after 6pm, so I went to ask the front desk. The front desk told me that there is no time limit and you can travel at any time, which is great. The pool is not big and changes a bit quickly from shallow to deep, but we can swim so it doesn't matter. If you have a family with children who cannot swim, it is best to bring a life preserver. During this month, from 5 pm to 7 pm, the water is warm and the sunshine is not strong. It is highly recommended. Note, if breakfast is not included in the reservation, both breakfast and dinner need to be booked at the front desk. The parking lot at his place is free, which is another reason why I booked his place. The parking lot is divided into front and back yards. The window of my room faces the front, so I parked in the front yard. I rarely write a review with so many words, just because I enjoyed my stay! 😊"

"The room is large, everything is complete, and the bathroom and carpets are very clean! The car is parked right at the door which is very convenient. There is also a 711 nearby, which is quite convenient~ Bistro prices are also very affordable. Even in the middle of the night, there will be energetic young people talking and joking, but fortunately it doesn’t last long~ A very cost-effective Motel, recommended to self-driving friends!"

"This hotel may be a franchise store of best western, which is much different from the same brand hotel I have stayed in many countries. First, it is not a separate building, but in the street-side shops, the front desk is a convenience store cashier. Second, the room is very small, a space for hand luggage is behind the door, and the door cannot be opened when the box is opened. Third, the price does not include the usual simple breakfast, and there is no microwave in the room. The same thing is that the room is clean and the front desk cashier is very warm and friendly during service hours. We booked for the brand, the price is15-20% more expensive than nearby motels. Fortunately, I saw Australia's logo animals 🦘 and cockroaches in the nearby protected area."
