    The 2nd floor aisle could have been more welcoming: cold lights, clouds of perfume and A/C at full blast

    Fantastic location in the heart of Newcastle. Comfortable room with lots of space and a balcony with view on the beer garden. Hotel has a good vibe both on weekdays and at the weekend.

    The hotel needs a coat of paint - and when that happens there will be a lovely aesthetic to the place.

    The bed was comfortable. The room was well equipped with a kettle, microwave, ironing board and hair dryer. So easy to travel when this is available, The check in fellow was friendly and helpful. The hotel was a fantastic location for our needs as we had a show to see at the Civic Centre. The restaurant and bar on site was fabulous!

    Generally good but wish I booked a standard room instead of paying more for a bad balcony room.

    Being in the first floor, the balcony was not very usable and did not have the advertised outlook. The view was straight into the outdoor dining area and bins. The number for room service did not work so had to order at the bistro itself.

    Excellent location, close to public transport and sights. Generally clean and comfortable. The pub/bistro had great food and service.

    The room wasn't huge, but very comfortable. We didn't unpack, staying only overnight.... but there is a cupboard to take clothes. I would've liked a stool or chair to set clothes out, especially in the bathroom - Only one towel rail to hold towel plus pj's, or another towel. The door to shower is quite large, and opens to 90 degrees against the toilet bowl, which could be awkward... But the shower is lovely .

    Excellent sleep : windows were double-glazed, so no disturbance, even though we overlooked the main road. Lovely shower room, spacious, and good sink size. We ate in the Restaurant, which had a great vibe, and the BEST Mushroom PIZZA I have EVER tasted!

    Nicely renovated old pub, in a good location in the centre of Newcastle.

    Room was small so only room for a double bed. Bathroom also small. But for a short stay it was fine.

    Was delighted with the fact that this was more of a suite than a room, & had a small balcony. It is an old hotel that has been renovated nicely & the small living area with a desk was great. We enjoyed having a drink in the pub downstairs before going out for dinner. It is right on the tram line in the centre of town so a convenient location but, even on a Friday night, we were not disturbed by any outside noise.

    Value for money right in the heart of Newcastle with great pub food downstairs.

    If I was nitpicky, perhaps an option for breakfast! Also parking was a bit of an issue but in the city there is limited parking with hotels. Street parking is around or use the parking lot nearby for $$'s.

    The Clarendon is right in the heart of Newcastle. Right near the river so you can jump on a pathway and go for a morning jog or walk. The rooms are spacious and it was like a little apartment rather than a hotel room.

    Brighter room than I'm used to while sleeping. Didn't realise there was a main switch to power lights. Shower leaked water. Absolute minimal things!

    The location was my absolute favourite! The light rail was close and very convenient. The food at the restaurant was absolutely delicious and the drinks were great too. The outdoor beer garden was such a vibe with very friendly staff across the venue. Such great value for money. Would definitely stay again.

    Bed was a little too firm but that's personal taste, others may love it. Take earplugs as there is are loud church bells nearby that chime on the hour all through the night.

    Room was spacious and location was perfect for attending a concert at the Civic Theatre. Meals are delicious downstairs and staff are excellent.
