10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for one night in a balcony room. Having the balcony was nice to sit outside for a drink but the view is just of the street. Whilst this is a hotel (pub), most rooms are in a wing away from the noise of the pub so pretty quiet. Our room - and the wing - was quite spacious (queen & single), has been nicely renovated and was very comfortable. It had tea & coffee making and a small fridge with freezer."

10/10 Excellent
"We loved staying here -- it has lots of room for a family of four and my son didn't want to leave! Located in the town center of Nelson Bay, it is also only a few minutes' walk to Woolworths and the other shops. Our apartment was nice and clean and had a good ambience. Furniture had a little wear and tear, but it was acceptable. Rooms were of a good size and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was very large and had everything we needed. We had a laundry and an ensuite which was very nice. Check-in was easy and the staff were friendly and helpful. A couple of downsides: the wifi was very slow and in fact failed one evening and the wifi network seemed to drop out of existence! Secondly, because it's a pool view apartment, we got a bit of noise from the activity in the pool - these are both minor complaints though as the pool is closed before it gets too late and we have our mobile phones for internet anyway. Overall, it was a great place to stay and we will stay here again next time we're in Nelson Bay. I can recommend it."
