Mattara Hotel reviews
4 Star Review by Sally Walsh
I have had a few one night stays in Charles town, Newcastle this last year. Tonight I visited Mattara hotel for an early dinner. A great location with view across the tropical hills, floors on varied levels. Plenty of car parks, staff were exceptional with customer service. I grabbed a large glass of Giesen Sav Blanc $12 & had a wonder. Dinner meals started from 5pm, bistro bar still open to purchase drinks with ample room to relax. Front bar had rows & rows of table & chairs. I think the out lay could be a little less uniform. Amazing TAB screen with all your sports & many of them. Attentive staff great service. Gaming room too but did not venture in there tonight. I was welcomed to plugging in & charging my phone while waiting for my dinner. Meal amendments were met with a no fuss attitude. I ordered the Salmon & asked for Salad & a bowl of mash potato as it is a seperate side. This was not an issue at all. Potato was to die for!! salmon over cooked but I wont mind well done salmon. Great dinner & service, I shall be back again for my next visit in March. If you have kids you are headed to the right place, a cool mini open basement area with play equipment & a heap of mechanical games are there for amusement. I almost forgot they do the table dial ordering that I am now quite accustomed to in my visits to all states. I will Come back again i I highly recommend if you like to punt, celebrate, family dinner, girls night out, kids need a night out.

Food and service was top notch! Bella was amazing! We had the steak, and ribs which was really good. But my most favorite was the salt and pepper squid. Irish at the bar certainly made our night perfect with the best margaritas and cosmo! I definitely recommend this place! Two thumbs up and 5 star!
3 Star Review by Michelle
Great and varied choice on menu. Slow service for both meals and drinks considering not many people there. Staff were friendly and polite. Typical kids meal choices with little imagination. Reasonable prices.
5 Star Review by Jackson Robards
Been here many times and never had a bad experience. Always great customer service, clean and fantastic dining room with fair-priced and fast foods. Steak has always been cooked to perfection each time I have purchased. Highly recommend visiting here for a lunch or dinner any day of the week! Keep up the great work!

5 Star Review by Carter Shields
I could rave on and on about my enjoyable experiences at this hearty hotel.. but to keep it short, nowhere in Newy will pair such tireless work with friendly smiles (and such delicious food in their hands!). The Mattara hotel today have once again made me feel so special and I felt they deserve recognition. Thanks to all staff, you will be seeing me again for quite some time.
