Pros:

Enjoyed this cozy older style yet modern amenities hotel. Had everything you needed for a short stay. It was a very relaxing atmosphere. Easy to access the bathrooms, toilets, laundry and kitchen. I loved the set up. It's very welcoming. Staff were all very friendly and happy to help with anything. They were very approachable. I highly recommend to anyone who needs to be near Newcastle city for an event or for a city getaway. It is above a pub. But even so, once you closed the door in the room, you could not hear any sounds. The room was fully equipped with all you need

Cozy close to the city haven in newcastle
Pros:

Viditing from Bathurst.Huge television, cozy beds, bathrooms, toilets and to wash your clothes was such low cost. Even though there was a communal kitchen it was a nice touch to have a kettle, microwave and cutlery bowls and cups provided in our rooms. We stayed 3 nights and even though it was above the pub, the rooms upstairs were quiet, comfortable and spacious. I was surprised at how modern it was. The towels were super soft. We will definately be back. Thankyou so much for your hospitality. Everyone was super nice😎🌴💕

Great value!
Pros:

Have stayed at The Seven Seas many times. When I have things to do in the city I find it good because it's economical, parking the car is easy, then I can get around on public transport. There is a bus that can get you in to the city or the light rail. But, for that matter, it's a ten minute walk to the rail interchange. The staff are always super friendly, the beer is cold and food is great. The rooms are spacious and always have crockery, cutlery, kettle and microwave, which is good for me because I always bring my own brekkie. There is also a communal kitchen which is basic and a guest balcony where you can enjoy your beverage and see the harbour. This is in no way luxury accommodation, but beds are always comfy and clean, and the price is great. Oh, and if you have mobility issues, there is a big staircase and no elevator.

Cons:

On this last visit there was only one of the two bathrooms open, which means one shower and one loo for everyone. Also, the bench in the shower recess was broken from the wall and just lying on the floor with no attention. Hoping it's fixed next time I'm there.
