Independent in Swan Bay from AU$131

"We really enjoy staying at Hotel Nelson. It is clean, updated and cafe is great. The only down side was the lift was not working but probably the exercise did us good."

"Nice hotel, beautiful spot, thanks a lot! I’m coming soon again !"

"Staff were exceptional - friendly, helpful and fun. Included breakfast is great. Beds and pillows very comfy. This chain will be my go to wherever possible"

"Very enjoyable stay. The bed was comfortable, the shower was great and the staff were very friendly. The view from our balcony was amazing. Close by to resturants, pubs, foodworks and coffee shops and straight across the road to Newcastle Beach. We parked our car in the undercover carpark and did not move it until we were leaving."

"I love the design of the QT hotels, they are so much more inviting because they are aesthetically pleasing. The staff are super nice and helpful as well. They are very on top of the service. Parking is super easy, we were able to get parking last minute. The beds were so comfortable too! "

"No parking which was a little inconvenient "

"Great quick stay! Really friendly helpful staff, a comfortable room and a great location. Wouldn’t hesitate staying again when the opportunity next arises. "

"Bit out dated but good and comfortable. "

"Rydges Newscasts is a beautiful modern hotel, central to everything on the waterfront. I had a free night to use that covered the stay and it was a wonderful treat. Our room was a suite on level 3, beautifully appointed with an outlook over the harbour. We enjoyed a delicious dinner in the restaurant with a happy hour between 4 to 6 that had a variety of affordable beer, wine and cocktails to select. in the hotel, valet parking was $35. All hotel staff were professional, helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend for a special occasion. "
