Free perks include movies, Wi-Fi and toiletries. Select rooms and suites feature a balcony. Amenities at the Clarendon Hotel include a limited hours front desk, dry cleaning, business services (fax, email and post) and three function spaces. The Courtyard Brasserie offers, lunch and dinner menus (Monday to Friday and Saturday nights). Plus, guests can enjoy a drink in the Art Deco Bar or outside in the beer garden. The hotel lies a little over a mile from Nobbys Beach and Fort Scratchley, three kilometers from the Newcastle Entertainment Centre and five miles from shopping at Westfield Kotara.
Guests love the Art Deco appearance of the Clarendon Hotel, yet note that there are plenty of modern conveniences on offer. This is perhaps best seen in the rooms. They are spacious as you might expect from an older property yet also include modern features such as flat-screen TVs.
Many guests find the room rates are reasonable and are also appreciative of the free perks such as Wi-Fi and on-site laundry. You'll pay extra for parking and dining but reviews often suggest that the cost of these additional amenities is reasonable.
Being able to walk to so many places is a plus point. Indeed, many guests used the hotel when attending the nearby Civic Theatre. Be sure to check out the pre-theatre dinner menu. Guests also like being able to walk to the harbour and beach.
Guests mention that the hotel can get noisy on Friday and Saturday evenings when there is live music on in the bar or beer garden. It's great if you plan to enjoy the entertainment on offer. If you were hoping for a quiet night, perhaps not so much.
Reviews suggest that the parking situation at the hotel could be better. The problem is not so much the fact that you have to pay extra but rather that it is in a separate area to the hotel and, apparently, it can be tricky to find.
Don't expect to be able to dine at the hotel on Sunday evenings as you'll find the on-site restaurant is closed all day. This left a few guests disappointed. Others didn't mind so much as Derby Street - an area “eat street” - is within a 15-minute walk of the hotel.
