Loxford Hotels

"The Crystalbrook in Newcastle was a pleasant stay for a weekend. The rooftop bar was great, though very busy and they weren't wrong - you need to book for dinner! The room was great, everything is fairly new so it was clean and not worn out. Location is walkable to lots of local attractions, Darby St and the waterfront are all walkable if you're able to. "

"Great place to stay! Close to Coles and some great restaurants!"

"Bar"

"Great breakfast, had $35pp to spend each day. Gym was nice and new, just wish had more machines. Free parking in carpark on Friday night and weekends. "

"Check in was smooth, upon entering our room the sofa bed was not made up at all for our children. Even though the front desk informed me it was. We only had two towels aswell. We booked and paid for 2 adults and 2 children. Front desk said they would send housekeeping. An hour and a half later we called again and were told housekeeping were aware. We went to dinner and upon our return bed was made up. For one child only. Sheets had black marks, hair and what appeared to be pink lipstick on them. Rang reception for a third time to inform them. 5 minutes later a knock on the door - the man handed me sheets to make the bed. I asked him to come in and have a look. He was surprised. We stripped the bed and re made it. He then had to go and source another pillow. Upon bedtime my children complained that the bed was uncomfortable. I tried it and all you could feel were the springs. This is a 4 star hotel. This was definately not 4 star. We are staying in a motel tonight and the beds, cleanliness are far above what we experienced at Rydges Newcastle. I wouldn’t waste your money on the buffet breakfast either. We went down at 9am. No hash browns. No pancakes. I was informed they had no more maple syrup for the day. Went to get cereal and there was no milk. Very basic, very average and not what I would except from Rydges hotels. Wouldn’t waste my money next time. Better places to stay. "

"Architecturally beautiful place. And love the natural surroundings. But it is unacceptable that what is advertised as a premium wellness retreat, does not have a sauna or steam room. Super disappointing. "

"Clean rooms, nice pool"

"Great location in a convenient area, with a spacious and comfortable room. The buffet breakfast was outstanding, offering an impressive variety of options. Free onsite parking was also a big plus, making the stay even more convenient."

"No doubt the hotel was good , my kids found room to be pretty good but I was surprised to come to know that they were charged for the water bottles .In every hotel , two water bottles per day are complimentary kept along with electric ketttle and tea and coffee stuff but they were charged of the water bottles .This was something the hotel should not have charged for .Rest they enjoyed a lot and had a good experience Thanks "
