10/10 Exceptional

Loved our stay

We loved our stay in Nelson Bay. The hotel location is great with a popular cafe on site for breakfast and lunch. Very easy walk to town and harbour so lots of choices for eating out. The pool was great. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a slight problem with the water supply in our room which was just one of those things but the staff responded very quickly and gave us another room straight away. The bed and linen was very comfortable and everywhere was spotlessly clean. The hotel is by a busy road but due to the double doors onto the balcony there was no road noise in the room at all. I would recommend this hotel if planning a visit to Nelson Bay.
