The Lucky Hotel is a very cute, very clean hotel that’s excellently positioned. The highlight, though, is the truly outstanding service from the staff. Even though the air conditioning was broken in our room, I’d still be happy to stay again due the genuine and thoughtful efforts of the staff.

I loved the room with balcony which was lovely for sitting out - especially with a morning cup of tea.
The bar was lovely for a drink and some food in the evening.

Fabulous place to stay in Newcastle. Clean, quirky, friendly staff, great food, fantastic location. Light rail stop is right outside the hotel, lots of restaurants nearby and Civic Theatre is a 10min walk down the road. We’ve stayed here a few times and love it.

The room was quiet, spacious and had good amenities. It was in a safe area. The location was walkable to the beaches and plenty of dining options. I would return to this hotel in the future.

Nice experience overall - great location, clean and modern rooms. Noise wasn’t bad even though it’s in a busy part of town. Only downside is that the showers don’t have a door so the water spreads easily into the rest of the bathroom even with a bathmat. Happy with my stay.

The rooms are great, especially for pub accommodation, and there is a nice lively restaurant in the central atrium.
Location is perfect.

Elegantly cool.
A truly lovely stay at this centrally located gem. The room was beautiful, with charming, quirky interiors that gave the hotel so much character. The staff were attentive and welcoming throughout my stay. The bed was extremely comfortable, dressed in luxurious linen, making for a great night’s sleep. The supply of tea, coffee and bottled water was a nice touch. The courtyard bar is stunning and a perfect spot for dining or enjoying a drink. Highly recommended.
