This 3-star hotel suits road-trippers, business travellers and families who want practical facilities at a mid-range price. The property lists a gym, a pool, a restaurant, a garden, family rooms, free parking, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
Breakfast choice is wide on paper: continental, full English or Irish, vegetarian, buffet and breakfast to go. The to-go option helps if you leave early.
Skip it if you dislike waiting at a buffet, since guests say items are often slow to be replenished. And if a higher-rated stay is worth a tiny premium to you, look at the Luxury pick below.
Location and getting around
The address is 100 Allen Street, Newcastle. Guests describe a convenient setting near the mall and close to the town centre, and the location score is 9.1.
We have no verified walking times or distances to attractions for this hotel. Treat the town-centre proximity as guest feedback, and check a map for the exact routes you need. Free parking is listed, so arriving by car is straightforward.
What guests say
The score is 8.4 out of 10 from 750 reviews. That placed it joint second of only 3 eligible properties in our sample, so the field was small.
Staff draw the most praise: friendly, helpful and welcoming. Location is the other strong point, near the mall and close to the centre.
Breakfast divides opinion. Some guests find it tasty with good variety, but many say items are slow to be replenished. Room size, noise, renovation state and cancellation terms have not been assessed, so read recent reviews.
Price and how it compares with our other picks
The reference price was €94.03 per night, about €188.06 for two nights. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
That equals the sample median of €94.03. Our Budget pick, African Sky Newcastle Inn, was €56.63 per night with an 8.2 score and 3 stars. Our Luxury pick, ANEW Resort Vulintaba Newcastle, was €94.53 per night with an 8.7 score and 4 stars.
The comparison is unusual. The Luxury pick costs only €0.50 more per night and scores 0.3 points higher with one more star. Blackrock Hotel earns its place with a much larger review base and its location near the mall, but check both prices for your dates, since the gap may change. Breakfast inclusion has not been confirmed.
