Astra Apartments Newcastle

"great location with a nice view. but bad in management in term of building management. Unfortunately, electricity was out due to wild storms in the area which was impacted the entire Newcastle CBD and i understand that it was uncontrollable. no enough light at the escape stair once you can't use the elevator. easy to return the key but you will find the difficulties with check in as there is no front counter. bad experience and unprofessional service with no care for customer. To be fair the room itself is nice with a stunning view, i would say."

"I give it a five star for great location helpful staff the rooms are clean and just beautiful with a lovely view. Robert couldn’t be more helpful . When you arrive look for the Huxley apartments you are there yes you book through Astra apartments this is the strata and Mr Huxley had this lovely place constructed a little confusing , but again Robert explained this to me.Thank you Robert for all assistance ."

"Good service with all utilities was provided in the room including, soap, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, tie sets of towels and other personal care products as well. It was a clean and tidy room. The kitchen was well equipped with all modern utensils and cutlery, an induction cooktop, and a dishwasher. The laundry facility was also included in the room, which was convenient. The view was priceless from the balcony. I even enjoyed those trams which were shuttling to the NTL beach. Moreover, there was covered parking provided (for some extra, still worth it). In short, ASTRA was awesome."

"-> Difficulties with booking and check in, loud tram outside, parking extra but pretty and convenient. Liked · The size of the one bedroom apartment was perfect, however it’s directly above a tram line which operates every 15ish minutes. The kitchen was great equipped, washing machine and dryer in the unit working well. Disliked · Booking available for 25th of December however the director called to tell us, that we can’t check in on this day. They advised that we should cancel our non-refundable booking from our side. Obviously not an option which he finally accepted. We had to add an extra night which threw our plans up - at least we got the director to agree to charge us only half a night. Had to wait 15 minutes for someone to arrive at the apartment to hand us the keys for check in. Only one key between us. No hair dryer and shampoo rack available. No fan to circulate the ac air. Ac remote not working properly. Dishwasher making loud noises. The slim Sofa is very pretty but rather unpractical and uncomfortable to chill and curl up watching TV. Bed super soft, which I personally don’t like. Parking quite expensive $20 a night. Not 5 star as they want to be - not going on top and beyond."

"Excellent accomodation. The apartment was super clean and had everything you would require. The view was amazing and I loved waking up watching the sunrise over the harbour. The staff were extremely helpful. Geordie went above and beyond to ensure I found my carpark and also took me to my room so I knew exactly where to go. Will definitely be back again"
