Ibis Budget Newcastle

8/10 Good

"The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean but very basic and very budget."

The Executive Inn

8/10 Good

"Very convenient location. Amazing personnel. We are family, stayed in two rooms. One room was renovated with new furniture. Another room was with the old furniture but clean. Rooms are spacious enough. Parking was included in the price. Plenty of parking space. Heated outdoor spa-pool: such a nice addition. It was amazing to relax there in the morning before breakfast or after the long day. If robes are needed it is required to speak at the reception to have them. Breakfast was included in our stay. Not many options but everything what is needed. Food was tasty: bacon, scrambled egg, sausages, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes. Porridge. Serials. Some fruits and berries. Coffee / tea / juice / hot chocolate. Pastries. Minor disadvantages: 1. Before booking I called the hotel asking whether we need to bring robes with us or they will be provided. I was told that robes will be in the room. Unfortunately, robes were not there. And to receive them it was needed to speak to a manager. 2 robes were provided. We asked for another two robes (4 adults in our family), but a person who provided room service did not give them to us. Pool towels were provided only once, I asked for them next day but we didn’t receive them. 2. AC - old and extremely noisy. After long days sightseeing the city we were so tired that slept deeply, otherwise it might be difficult to fall asleep with roaring AC. 3. Room service: so-so."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Stockton?

The best time to go to Stockton is during the warmer months, specifically from late spring through early autumn (November to April), when the weather is ideal for enjoying the outdoors.

During these months, you'll experience consistently pleasant temperatures, typically ranging from 20°C to 28°C, with plenty of sunshine. This makes it great for activities like swimming at Stockton Beach, exploring the Stockton Sand Dunes, or taking a leisurely ferry ride across the harbour to Newcastle. The water is also at its warmest, making it more inviting for beachgoers.

For those looking to avoid the peak tourist crowds and still enjoy good weather, the shoulder seasons of November and April are particularly good. You'll find the weather still very agreeable for outdoor activities, but with fewer visitors, which can lead to a more relaxed experience and potentially better value on accommodation.

If you're interested in whale watching, May to November offers the chance to spot humpback whales migrating along the coast. While some of this period falls outside the warmest months, early winter (May-July) can still provide clear, crisp days for boat tours.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Stockton hotel for you.
