What guests think

Across recent reviews, Reign Inn Newcastle is praised for clean, comfortable, pet-friendly rooms and friendly staff, with many guests finding it quiet and convenient for nearby hospitals, shops, and road trips, offering good value for short stays.

Rooms range from compact to spacious family options, with strong showers, basic kitchenettes, and Wi-Fi noted as good in some reviews. Recurring drawbacks include tight on-site parking, occasional disturbance from neighbouring rooms or connecting doors, and instances of early or inconsistent reception hours, with a few reports of maintenance niggles and the pool being unavailable or dirty. Overall, expect a straightforward, practical motel stay well suited to short stopovers.

great hotel as a dog friendly hotel. Other dogs in other rooms but could not hear them. Minor road noise but did not have a problem sleeping

Check-in was face-to-face with friendly people, room was comfortable and clean, pet-friendly rooms had dog bowls outside the rooms, despite being on a main road there was little traffic noise. Only cons were not having plates or knives/forks in the kitchenette, and parking was a little tight for a large vehicle. All up we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place if you are travelling with a pet.

A bit disappointed. Went to use my pillow and it had a dirty used pillowcase on it. Plus, had to got to the office to get plates/bowls to use and they werent the cleanest either. Had a good sleep, but needs blackout curtains. The outside was not maintained well, could do with a good gardening and a sweep. So probably wont be staying again. Not when there is a lot of choice of other places to stay at. Not close to the city but close to getting in and out of town.

I appreciated the comfortable bed, the amenities provided and the hot shower with full pressure. Overall, it was a great stay, and I would highly recommend this accommodation for anyone waiting a pleasant and convenient place to stay for a night or longer.

The property itself wasn't a problem but we had a huge issue with our neighbours who were up talking for a few hours starting at midnight. Unfortunately the sound of them meant a lot of staring at the ceiling for us. This alone will stop us from staying again. Can't risk it.

The rooms are set back from the road so they are quiet. The rooms with a queen and a single bed are generous in size and bathrooms are updated with a rain head shower. The standard queen room is smaller but both have microwaves and vhina andcutlery are available on request. Overall a very comfortable stay.

An old style motel. Our room, an Executive Queen Room, had be been renovated, as I believe the rest of the rooms also. Tiled floor throughout and comfortable but small. Only a small high window that looked onto a fence so it was quite dark. Very clean and the bed was very good. The outside area was a bit tired.

With no times advertised for the opening and operating hours of reception. Otherwise a clean and comfortable room.

Stayed here the first night of an interstate move. The management were very flexible when I had to change dates only a few nights before staying. We had a pet room, for which we were thankful. In addition, the room has a little fridge and freezer, and we were traveling with medicine that needed to be kept cold, and this was an amazing bonus because we kept the medicine cold over night and refreshed our freezer bags for the next day's drive. Really grateful for this place. Also, parking was onsite and well lit (for a car full of stuff as part of the move).
