Best Western Blackbutt Inn

I know, its my fault , but i expected a bit more hotel than a pub in saying that , our room was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed But We had to go through a crowded public bar to get to dining area to reach a a full noisy pub eatery Our car was parked overnight in an unlocked remote car park some distance from supervision Breakfast was at a few tables in the public bar Gee I know it sounds a bit snobby, and I dont mean to be, but it just wasnt what I expected and not really worth the $150 we paid for the night less

The staff were wonderful and the food was just great , we only had to ask and all was just how we liked everything . Room 8 was warm and clean , and there was a lift .Loved the pokies downstairs. Will stay there again if visiting Newcastle. less

We had a quick stay here and was very impressed. Was great value for us as we took the option that cast a little more than the base price but it included a $60 dinner voucher. The room was very clean tidy and comfortable. The staff were friendly and lastly the food was so yummy. Considering the room was about a hotel on a very busy Saturday night very little noise came up to the room. less

last minute booking made for business overnight stay , very quite room on the second floor, Wifi connection was a seamless experience. Nice and clean with a comfy bed. all staff from the receptionist ,bar & restaurant staff very friendly and welcoming. Nice cold beer in the pub. Will stay again next overnight trip to Newcastle. less

We stayed for 2 nights in Newcastle and booked 2 rooms (a double for the kids and another one for us). Overall a nice clean hotel with a very decent breakfast. It's 5 minutes away from the reserve and the Westfield mall in Kotara (and about 10 minutes to the Newcastle CBD) so quite convenient. Room was clean, with adequate amenities. Certainly great for the price. The WiFi was great which was an added bonus. My only comments would be that hallway noise filters through the rooms quite easily (we were woken up by the cleaning staff chatting) and that the bathrooms could use a good scrubbing. We didn't really hear a lot of noise from the pub downstairs to be honest (as per the other reviews). Staff at reception and restaurant were great, mighty friendly. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here overnight again next time. less
