Top Bar Beach Hotel Reviews

Crown on Darby

10/10 Excellent

"It’s an excellent location to walk to the beach, parks, galleries, shops. Plenty to see in every direction you go. Loved the spa bath, to run the water from the tap wasn’t working, so we needed to use the shower head to fill the bath. That took a little longer, but we still enjoyed the relaxing spa bath. The bed, kitchenette , balcony, large tv was excellent. We will come again. Regards Eva"

"Amazing place to stay."

Quest Newcastle

8/10 Good

"Being on my own + recently having mobility issues in the last few years, ease of accessibility is a priority & I notice when people help. I've given alot of my business to this group so was most disappointed to be discriminated against when either needing more time or some assistance in rebooking + being inbetween rooms + having to move out then move back in on my own proved impossible to do within to their allocated times + as a result Ive been asked not to book again. Realising people aren't very nice when their job doesn't require them to be."
