An outstanding place to stay
From the moment we walked in our stay was amazing. The staff welcome, information on the area, the free drinks and snacks in the foyer, the greenery, the conditions of the rooms. We couldn’t fault a thing. We were going to Enmore Theatre which was a 2 minute walk away, and had a wide selection of restaurants and pubs within 5 minutes. Can’t fault anything!!

Okay
The Urban is a unique, comfortable stay overall but we found the lounge area a little awkward and there was a smell from one of the bathrooms. They also had a smart TV but it didn't work for streaming and when I tried to contact to get some help there was no response.

I didn’t like that we couldn’t alter the booking when I wanted to reduce it by one night. We left the day before we originally booked because our plans changed and we weren’t able to cancel one night in advance of the holiday. We had to pay for the last night anyway.

The Urban Newtown was a lovely hotel with very helpful staff and the best cleaning crew in the world!
The facilities were a bit different from what we expected, as there was nearly no room for our things. Is was a very small hotel room, and we had to move some of the furniture in order to even access the bed. It felt a bit claustrophobic, as if they had stuffed too many items in the room.
Other than that, it was a lovely hotel with really cool common areas and an absolutely perfect location!
Thank you :)

The location was excellent. All the plants and art in the common area was cool. The room was interesting, but the room wasn’t set up that well for twin beds, but was ok. Bathroom smelled like bleach, but it was very clean. Liked the free drinks, apples and little bags of chips in the arvo. Would have appreciated the tea and milk being replaced in the room after we used them though. Still recommended though.
