What guests think

Across many reviews, Newtown Cozy Stays is described as a centrally located, budget-friendly base with compact rooms and generally friendly staff, suiting short stays near Newtown’s eateries, venues, and public transport.

Many rooms use shared bathrooms, there is no elevator, and on-site parking is not provided. Cleanliness and upkeep are mixed, with some musty odours or tired bathrooms reported alongside plenty of clean, tidy rooms. Service policies can frustrate, including limited desk hours and a late check-in fee, and some guests experience noise. Expect simple, no-frills lodging in a prime Newtown spot.

Extremely Disappointed – Misleading Information and No Accountability I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with this property was unacceptable. Prior to booking, I contacted the hotel and was assured that street parking would be available. This was a critical factor in my decision to stay here, as I was traveling with luggage and needed nearby access. When I arrived, there was absolutely no street parking available within walking distance of the property. I drove around for an extended period with no success. This made the property completely inaccessible to me. Despite explaining the situation and requesting a refund, I was told the booking was non-refundable and no exceptions would be made, even though the issue stemmed from false information provided by the property itself. As a result, I was forced to scramble to find last-minute emergency accommodation, at my own expense. This experience was incredibly stressful and disappointing. I expected more accountability and basic honesty from a wotif provider. I would not recommend this property to anyone.

The staff were friendly, and the room was comfortable. It would have been even better if there was an elevator to the upper floors, but considering the price, I guess it can’t be helped. As for the atmosphere of the town, I personally really loved it, though it might not be for everyone.

Good location and a good price. Room was basic with a few minor issues - no power point on the bench for the kettle. Staff were friendly and helpful when required. If you are driving there but not needing to use your car often there is unrestricted parking available in nearby side streets although I had to drive around for a while before I found a spot.

No parking. Had to try and find street parking n walk up to 1km with luggage. Hotel easy to find. No lifts, had to carry luggage up numerous flights of stairs. Room had not been cleaned on arrival. Broken PowerPoints, beside lamps with no bulb. Toilet leaking water from the bottom flooding bathroom. Tiles patched up with papier-mâché and sticky tape. Snot on the bathroom walls. Underneath basin filthy, bathroom fan filthy, shower unsafe. The worst hotel we have stayed in.

Staff are amazing. The room was great. Small but clean and has everything you need, except the bathroom, which was shared. Would have been an extra star had they not been doing renovations on the upper level bathrooms. Had to walk all the way down 2 level to the ground floor bathroom.

Great location & looks great in the photos, but pretty poor in real life. The rooms had poor sound insulation. So, you can hear the doors opening & closing. The room had a musty sweat smell. The outside of the bed topper was a little sticky & the pillow case had a slight yellowed stain. The common bathrooms were very dingy & dated. Glad the sheets were clean & the 2x towels I got given were plush & soft.

For a $100 a night hotel, this place is fantastic. Walk into the 4 star hotel like lobby with staff to match. Room was clean and bedding was also that of a 4 star. Room and Bathroom are a bit rough and dated but as I said it’s clean and tidy. Room had aircon and TV, bar fridge, tea coffee etc. Really could not expect more for the price.

We reached the property at midnight and they had 2 numbers on the door. So we called the emergency number for this property no one picked up then we had to drive all the way to newcastle for a hotel. Then we called them at 11am to ask for a refund but were told you should have called the second number and no refund will be given. Like what is an emergency number for if no one picks up the call in a emergency.

Property not wheelchair friendly! Couldn't check in when I arrived after travelling via train and exhausted. When I did come back, still couldn't check in as staff were on their "lunch break". not safe to use kettle in the room due to lack of power points. when I did finally get to lay down for a rest, workman was using a damn power saw outside my window. Had to share a bathroom with the whole floor!

Given the price tag, it is in my opinion a perfect choice! The room is small, but had all we needed, including a mini balcony and a bathroom with window! Only mood killer: the lady at reception when we checked in. We knew we were too early, but felt treated like invaders and an inconvenience, just because we asked, if we could leave the bags, till check in time. Very unfriendly in all she said. All other staff were very friendly and welcoming!

The property was clean. Towels were changed every day. In our room there was no where to hang our towels as the rail was broken and there wasn't any where to hang clothes. The water was very hot for the shower but you had to run the water for some minutes to get it. Free coffee was available in reception area and the people working were very friendly. Great location on King St as the property is in between 2 train stations Newtown & St.Peters. Bus 370 was at our front door to Coogee and bus 352 to Bondi. Plenty of restaurants in the Street. As seniors we were able to have an opal card costing $2.50 to travel on bus, train and ferries 24 hours. For the price of the hotel we would definitely stay again.
