Very quirky in a good way, , the attention to detail and decor is amazing, every space you enter is different but the all live happily under the same roof. Staff extremely friendly and helpful, you must go and visit to see for yourself!
The Hotel is very well located for sightseeing around Newcastle . Although the light rail has a limited area of travel, it stops right outside the Lucky Hotel. This made it very easy to arrive quickly from the airport (via bus and then light rail).
We arrived early at the Lucky, and team members were very helpful and our room was ready and available to us with only a short wait . We enjoyed a meal at Lucky Hotel (very good pizza) and also used our discount card for Neighbours Cafe for a lovely breakfast.
The hotel is literally across the road from Tower Cinemas which was handy when there was a little rain and cold weather.
The light rail extends in the other direction a couple of stops to make the walk to Newcastle beach and Fort Scratchley a little quicker, although nothing was very far from our "Lucky" base - short walks also to the impressive Newcastle Art Gallery, the Museum (with the must see Mr. Squiggle exhibition), Civic Theatre, Newcastle University, information centre and great eating venues (such as Foghorn) .
Very nice experience! We just stayed for one night on our way to Sydney but it was great. We had a very nice dinner at their restaurant and the staff was really nice and helpful.
Great welcome from the lovely woman at reception. Very comfortable bed. Large bathroom. Whisper quiet. Easy walk to lots of places. Would definitely recommend.
Such a fun place to stay if you’re looking for a space that’s not your bog standard boring box of a hotel. Decor SO cool. Staff out of this world friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend.
We love staying at The Lucky, our room was fabulous. Always clean, friendly staff and a great location

I loved the room with balcony which was lovely for sitting out - especially with a morning cup of tea.
The bar was lovely for a drink and some food in the evening.

Fabulous place to stay in Newcastle. Clean, quirky, friendly staff, great food, fantastic location. Light rail stop is right outside the hotel, lots of restaurants nearby and Civic Theatre is a 10min walk down the road. We’ve stayed here a few times and love it.
The Lucky Hotel is a very cute, very clean hotel that’s excellently positioned. The highlight, though, is the truly outstanding service from the staff. Even though the air conditioning was broken in our room, I’d still be happy to stay again due the genuine and thoughtful efforts of the staff.
