It was very comfortable. The other reviews commented on a hard bed but for me, the bed is fine, it shouldn't be too soft. Large room with a large bathroom. Generous amenities. I had a late check-in and instructions were very clear. Never saw a receptionist on my way out but didn't need to. I was happy to be facing the back and not the front. The noise from the pub was very minimal with closed doors plus this is Australia so the pub shuts down a reasonable hour.

I didn't sleep too well not because it was not comfortable as it was, but the old history of the building. If you're a little sensitive to energies and/or staying alone, it's a little freaky. For example, there was no secure lock when the guest is inside, they need to put back that lock for perceived safety sake. I suppose because of the easy access for anyone to enter into the hotel space from the bar, it did not make me feel safe that anyone can just go up the elevator and into the hotel rooms (old elevator so no extra safety re guests or staff only). With that in mind, as a solo female traveller, I won't be back as a solo traveller.

We always stay at the Clarrie when we come into Newcastle. We also hold our functions there. As always, it is a welcoming and cozy place to stay, but with massive space in the suites we choose to stay in. Clean, great atmosphere and the most friendly of staff possible. They even recognised me when I checked in.

Nothing could have been any better. They accomodate us perfectly when we stay. Accomodation, bar and bistro. We could not have asked for better service.

Space space space 😄 couldn't ask for more space it was huge. We were there for show at civic so perfect location. Bed was very comfortable and foldout sofa made watching tv comfortable. Food was good.

Obviously pub noise downstairs, not a problem if your there to party/ drink, to be expected but more sound proofing would help, with ac fan on it was ok for sleeping. Some mugs could be cleaner, 1 not friendly staff member everyone else was lovely, really lovely. More channels would be nice but if your out and about why would you need it.

I reached the hotel after the reception closed and left the following morning before it opened. Had interaction with the bar staff who guided me to the keys left for me in a secure locker. The hotel had also sent a message with the details. Customer service is good, the bar was busy. The rooms are dated but clean and well maintained. My room overlooked the main thoroughfare, but didn't hear much noise. Bathroom was adequate.

The curtains are pretty old and inadequate. The location is good but the signage isn't. Some more light around the entrance and good signage would help. And a faster lift :)

Better than what I expected. We paid 2 months in advance for a queen room and were very pleasantly surprised to get a small balcony. It fulfils my request for a quiet room with wifi. The dimmable light through the round knob is a very fancy feature, although it flickers. Friendly receptionist at check out.

When I arrived slightly before 6pm, the reception was already closed, but thankfully, the instructions for the door pin and safety box pin were not too hard to follow. The conditioner was empty when we arrived. The water also pooled on the floor of the shower. There is constant water dripping from the roof on the balcony and regular roof noise.

Large and modern areas, and was nice and warm. Bed was comfortable too, and the property was central to everything… with only a 2min walk to the Civic Theatre, it was perfect for our dash in the rain.

It was a Thursday night, it was a shame that the bar was shut so early… would have been nice if the bar was open for people that are staying at the hotel to have one drink before they adjourn upstairs to bed. The light and fan in the bathroom was not working, so I had to take the little side lamp from my bedroom and plug it in at the bathroom.

The Clarendon Hotel was excellent! Good value for money ( we had a queen room with balcony), very clean and tidy, there was a microwave in the cupboard which you never find and the bed was super comfortable! Bathroom was pretty good except for the position of the door but otherwise clean and the shower was a decent size. Checking in was good and the girl at reception was really nice. There was a lift to the rooms which again you don’t find very often, and for an older pub the room was great! The food in the restaurant was tasty served super quick, drinks reasonably priced and a really nice garden area to sit in. The harbour foreshore was just across the road and the tram stop as well.

There is no parking available at the hotel so the parking was a bit tricky but the parking station in Argyle St was close by which was handy and the door in the bathroom was in an awkward spot especially when you were on the toilet

Even though it's obviously an old hotel, the room was pretty good - very clean, comfortable and not small. The bed was very comfy. Staff was very courteous and friendly. the hotel itself is in a very convenient spot - close to parking garage and literally next door to the Civic Theatre.

It would have been nice if the bar stayed open late. It's nice to go and unwind after a show with a glass of wine but we had to walk quite far to find an open bar.

Fabulous staff, excellent location, big room with balcony, serviced daily (unexpected from a pub), good food and drinks if wanting to stay on-site, one block away from the water, 10 min walk to Darby Street.

Nothing, room great a little mould in the bathroom, like a real little a real little otherwise a clear 10. Exceptional value for money and location fabulous we walked it used public transport everywhere. Staff were awesome too, great venue cheers

The proximity to the Civic theatre was very convenient. The room was modern, well appointed and clean. The food from the bistro was wonderful and room service was very fast. Check in process was very easy and the staff were super friendly, welcoming and helpful.

There was obviously noise from the pub, but that is to be expected, and the pub was quiet from about 10:30pm so it wasn’t a problem for me.
