"Despite a band playing I was able to get an early night's sleep. The room was a classic old hotel room,high ceilings,excellent space ,only a bed and bedside table. Locks were modern and secure. No lifts but a lovely old lace railed verderah. On-site parking which freed up once attendees at an afternoon function left. Easy to find by GPS and likewise to access off freeway. Bistro prices not cheap but children's werves reasonable and sufficient. Communal bathrooms adequate but require more...

Top Thornton Hotel Reviews

QT Newcastle

8/10 Good

"It's a lovely hotel, likely the best in Newcastle. Rooms are a bit on the small side and there are few amenities within the building. But staff was super helpful and the breakfast was delicious."

Best Western Plus Apollo Hotel Newcastle

8/10 Good

"Very nice, well maintained. Improvements needed on the breakfast supplied. The hot food left alot to be desired but easily fixed Scrambled egg, had a green tinge because the eggs had been in the warmer to long. This is rectified by replacing the eggs every hour. I observed the kitchen staff pouring new hot food on top of the old product. This would be more professional if the complete dish was removed from the warmer and replaced with the new dish containing the new product."

The Gateway Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The same thing I dont like everytime at this hotel is also the only thing I ever have to complain about @ The Gateway Inn... & thats when I have to leave. (Sad Face) I just love this place, the staff are so wonderful & are always happy to go the extra mile yet so modestly & kindly make you feel like nothing is a bother or too much to accomodate in their efforts to show that you're valued as a customer & feel welcomed like a family friend. The vibe is like a big safe warm hug. The rooms provided are generous in space, ameneties are varied & top notch & the customer service extended is of international standards. And No I wasn't promised anything to say all these great things about the Gateway, but Ive tried the rest & dont even have to guess you'll be impressed- by the Best Hotel in town!!"
