Everything! Location, quality of the facilities, the bar and specially the food from their restaurant.
AustraliaThe room was brand new and sparkling clean. The bed was very comfortable. There was aircon and a fan to choose from. The room was well set up with a small fridge, plenty of power points, hanging space and extra blankets (for if the aircon was too cold . . . ) Staff were very friendly in regards to both the room and the pub - I managed to get back from work just before 9pm (kitchen closing time) one night and the kitchen staff were very accommodating. The bar is also very nice and a comfortable place to spend some time unwinding.
AustraliaThe bed was very comfortable, the room was really big and the bathroom was also really big and clean, the staff in the bar area were really friendly and informative about the area.

AustraliaThe staff were so friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and comfortable and the shared bathroom was really clean and had shampoo, soap etc to use. The restaurant on site was lovely and the food was great.
United KingdomEverything. The Commonwealth Hotel far exceeded anything we were expecting. A complimentary drink on arrival. Fantastic staff. The food was far from your average pub grub. It was unbelievably. I had no intention on stopping in Newcastle on the way home but definately will be as we had so much fun. 😃🤗
