Crown on Darby provided a very convenient location for what we wanted to see and do in Newcastle.
Pros:

There are many restaurants and cafes on Darby St.
Convenient location for the Newcastle art gallery and to public transport.
The studio contained all we needed for a mini-break.
The staff were professional and welcoming.

Cons:

Our room had an adjoining apartment available. Unfortunately, the door between the apartments provided less privacy/sound-proofing than a wall.

Apart from needing to move rooms, excellent
Pros:

Well located, well appointed rooms

Cons:

Avoid any room directly on Darby Street, especially those above the bar next door. Very noisy until it shuts down with sleep impossible. We requested a move and the staff thankfully obliged

Peaceful, spacious and exceptionally comfortable stay with phenomenal staff in a fantastic location.
Pros:

Beautiful apartment and an overall fantastic stay. The room was incredibly clean, spacious, quiet and very comfortable. The beds were excellent, the light blocking was great and I honestly had one of the most peaceful sleeps I’ve had in a hotel in a long time as I couldn’t hear any outside noise at all.

The staff were also wonderful to deal with. I arrived quite late in the evening and they provided very clear and safe instructions for access which made everything stress free. They were also very accommodating with a later checkout request which I really appreciated.

The location is excellent as well, with fantastic restaurants nearby and beautiful walks along the water. I would absolutely stay here again.

Cons:

Nothing
