I rarely write reviews but absolutely felt it necessary in this instance. I had to travel urgently from Melbourne to Newcastle & had a reservation at Crown Plaza in Newcastle for $395/night which was a lot for me, but as it was classed as a 5 star hotel, I figured it would be worth it. My arrival was also late... More

Staid here for one night in March 2013. The hotel is an apartment style hotel. We were upgraded nice touch. However the room had cockroaches, the bath room was small and wifi is extra. The furniture is well worn and was torn. There is no TV in the bedroom. The positive is that some of the rooms have great harbour... More

The Chifley Executive Suites in Newcastle should be avoided at all costs. We stayed in room 705 in February 2013. It is a 2 bedroom apartment. There are 3 air conditioning units and only one remote. The air conditioners make a loud noise every 3 to 5 minutes for about 20 to 30 seconds, regardless of whether or not they... More

We stayed 4 nights over Christmas with our 2 children. We had a harbour view apartment with a balcony. The apartment was a good size for the 4 of us and was clean and well-appointed. The view was great and super-entertaining for the kids with tugs, ships, trains, helicopters and ferries to spot. The location is excellent, being a short... More

The apartments are located right opposite Newcastle train station so convenient if you are travelling and the view from my apartment was great as it looked out on the harbour. Surprisingly there was no noise from the trains although there was some sound of some ships' sounding their horns as they passed in the harbour. I suppose you can't have... More

Used newcastle as half way stop to and from Coff's Harbour. With two grandsons stayed at Noah's on the Beach on way up and looked for more space on return trip. Booked through wotif and found apartment spacious and well fitted out but not great design. Only one split system airconditioner so one bedroom a bit warm. No facilities other... More

There are two Chifleys' in Newcastle so check your address before hand but they are close to each other. Staff friendly.Our apartment lacked a bit of privacy but we just kept the blinds down. Three air conditioners and one remote. So noisy we could not have it on in the bedroom - even noisy when turned off! When we told... More

Booked through WOTIF expecting to have a view of a brick wall, wow, what an absolutely fantastic surprise to open the door of apartment 604. Beautifully appointed, comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen. But the view of Newcastle Harbour and all it's activity was the most enjoyable part of our visit. We spent many hours watching the ins and outs of... More

The apartments are well designed to ensure that all rooms are well ventilated. Travelled to Newcastle for a conference and the hotel was ideally located with excellent views of the harbour. The 2 bedroom apartment was very spacious and comfortable. Double Glazed windows ensured you are not disturbed with any outside traffic noise. Reception staff is very friendly. Will recommend... More
