The Central was just that - walk to restaurants, shops, foreshore and harbour but quiet location. It is basic, affordable and clean.  I had a small issue which was acted on immediately.  This is a professionally run establishment that I would thoroughly recommend.

Clean, simple, great location

The location and price of this motel make it perfect for us so we always stay here when we are working down here.  Older style motel which is usually what we go for.  Good location close to food etc.  Rooms are pretty big and always clean.  The staff are friendly and helpful and make us feel at home.  It’s not the Hilton but it’s 10 out of 10 for what it is.

Our regular

Booked direct the day before our visit,very helpful with booking. Motel is in a good central location, close to marina  and cafes etc. Room was well laid out with a small table and chairs, double bed and single bed. Plenty of crockery and cutlery,also a toaster, kettle and microwave. Liked being offered fresh milk too! Yes it is an older style motel but is very clean, good amenities,  and great quiet  location. We only stayed one night but will definitely stay again when next in Nelson Bay.

Great location

we stayed here early this week, clean room, comfortable bed, close to town lovely owners. great location no road noise. easy parking outside the door. friendly cleaners took time to chat. The shower needs updating  but the hot water flow was excellent.

great motel clean and comfortable

Terrific location. Very friendly and helpful owners. Rooms clean and fresh milk on offer. Easy walk to cafes, cinema, shops, marina and the beautiful beach of Nelson Bay. Easy drive to the other delightful beaches in the area. Very good value. 

Big tick to the Central Hotel, Nelson Bay

My wife & I recently had a 1 night stay here, what a great place. 
It's not 5 star (if that's what you need) but it was very clean and comfortable, the bed was good and spacious. 
It's only a few minutes walk to the marina, pubs and restaurants, so close to plenty of the action. 
Would definitely stay here again

Excellent location

Had a voucher owing to a previous cancellation but only wanted to stay one night which was a Friday night.  Told that it was not possible as they only had 2 night stays at the weekends.  Yet I drove past there on the Friday night after 7pm & there were vacancies.  Why would you turn down accommodation for one night when you have vacancies is beyond me.

Nelson Bay Motel -  beware of 2 night stays only on weekends.

Check in was excellent and the room was beautifully clean and smelled fresh. The location, as others say, is the real benefit of staying here. Though it is indeed central, it was not noisy at all. The only reason for a 3 star rather than 4 for this review is that the bed was very hard, which would suit some, but not this reviewer. $170 for the night in high season.

Location over luxury

Clean and rather big room. Ok price for a night or two. Not so comfortable beds. At least not for my back. But a ok stay. Good help at reception. The wifi was not working for more than some minuters now and then. 

Good enough

Positives
The motel is very close to the marina and Main Street shopping area. It’s in a quiet location. The room was very clean and had some modern updates. Good sized room with a good table to sit at for all 4 of us. Air con and tv reception are good. And parking was easy at the front of your room. Mini bars prices were decent. 

Unfortunately we found the value for money was just not there- a standard bedroom for 2 was only $165 but staying in the family room we paid $250 which was over $40 extra each for our kids. That is a lot to ask for a 3 star motel when other local motels with higher stars are equal or lesser for the same. The main bed needs to be replaced springs in our back and rolling into the middle all night equaled no sleep. We took the kids to the pool area which was okay the pool was lovely and clean the chairs and area was little dirty but they couldn’t swim because the automatic pool cleaner was running. 
The most disappointing of all was seeing the website say book direct and save which the option we chose but paid the same if we booked through booking.com. Plus the motel charged a credit card surcharge because we booked over phoned. So much for saving when going direct as Booking.com doesn’t charge surcharges.
