Starting the day with a good coffee is a priority, yet a less than satisfactory self service machine is provided while a full espresso machine is used to deliver coffee for those wanting take-away only. The barista had a very poisonous attitude and many cups where not clean - lipstick residue and similar. Not a great way to start the day.

Pretty tired old place. Felt like I was staying at a room in THE SHINING. Windows not see through, tiny and didn’t open. So if you’re claustrophobic don’t stay here. The place just felt very meh… It wasn’t super cheap either. I’d look around for more options before booking here again.

The staff at Castlereagh worked hard for our high rating. They were so thoughtful and kind, helping my two children and I whenever we were in need. We loved our spacious yet cozy room and our comfy beds. Everything we needed was within walking distance, including all means of PT. We were all very comfortable and grateful for our stay here, and highly recommend this hotel.

The manager Took my bags and stored them for the day with no charge and he didn’t want to be tipped I tried. The bar has a good selection of beers and they also serve food but you have to order it Before 8:30 PM because that’s when the kitchen closes. I would stay here again.
