5 Star Review by Warren Hau
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Amazing rooms, very large and modern design. The whole hotel and downstairs bar and restaurant had an awesome vibe. Included in our stay was a $40 breakfast voucher which was a welcome surprise to us. The food was delicious. The service was top notch. Can't fault it. Highly recommended for those who are staying in Newcastle

The Junction Tavern is a very well run establishment. The staff are experienced, attentive and are ready to assist their customers and make dining a relaxing experience. The food is always well presented, timely and cooked to perfection and arrives as per the menu described it. The restaurant is smart and up to date, well set out and has great atmosphere. All of the above is what I like about the Junction Tavern and that is why I keep coming back. Jeff B

Really nice local hotel with a modern bar/restaurant vibe. Staff were attentive and friendly making us feel welcomed and relaxed. We started with cocktails which were delicious! The wine list is comprehensive, offering wines from all the major wine regions in Australia and around the world. We had the Charcuterie share plate between the four of us and mains each. Overall, it was a great night out! As I looked around, I saw everyone was enjoying themselves which added to the atmosphere. I'll be back!

Lovely place to stay. Room was stylish and clean and great care was taken to give me a tour of the place on arrival. Nice bar downstairs which was buzzing when I arrived but I couldnt hear a thing from my room and slept well on the comfy bed! Will be back
