Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Urban Newtown from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Urban Newtown boasts a phenomenal location in the heart of Newtown, steps away from cafes and the Enmore Theatre, making it a perfect base for exploring. Guests appreciate the mini-kitchens equipped with a microwave and hot plate, and the complimentary beverages offered in the lobby. Some guests have found the street-facing rooms can be noisy, as the windows are single-glazed. Still, the hotel is well-situated, with the train station and an Aldi supermarket within a short walk.

central location blackout blinds
The room included a kitchenette with a microwave I found this very convenient. Blackout blinds were installed in the room they ensured a dark sleeping environment. I found the location central I had easy access to many restaurants and shops. The train station was nearby it provided quick transport options.
The windows were single-paned I could hear some street noise.

Convenient Urban Stay

clean room fresh air mini kitchen
The hotel is near transport and entertainment options. The room was clean and I liked that I could open a window for fresh air. Room facilities were great. I did not expect a mini kitchen with a hot plate and cooking utensils.
The room's smell upon entry was unpleasant, and the windows were locked. This made it difficult to air the place out.

The hotel provides complimentary refreshments and snacks upon arrival, a nice touch. The lobby area features unique decor with an artistic vibe. I enjoyed spending some time there. There is also off-street parking available .
