“Very noisy and so not worth the amount they charge”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

This place is new and located in back street of Hamilton. It is relatively quiet but if you book and they ring to advise you have room number one then don't stay here unless you can get another room or suffer from a disability.

Room one is on the ground level. You require a key code to get into the place and as soon as you enter the front door you walk straight into the kitchen/ dining area. Room number one joins the dining/lounge area so not only can you hear the front door opening and banging shut but if you wanted a sleep in you won't get it due to the clanging noise of kitchen utensils and people chatting over brekky!

Poorly designed and I think it's slack they place a room for peopled with disabilities adjoining the dining room. Only good thing bout this place was the comfortable bed and convenience to cafes nearby. Won't be staying here again!

“A faultless operation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2010

Stayed just one night but there was absolutely nothing that could be faulted other than that I thought it a tad expensive but which could be justified by its proximity to Beaumont Street. Kris' hospitality was also five star.

“THIS IS THE ONE - no point looking at any others!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2010

Having never been to the Newcastle region before, The Chaucer Palms was a great find and DEVINE - in every respect. Their website is a true reflection of all things on offer. Modern / warm / restful / clean / mouth watering breakfast and really lovely hospitatlity - Thank you Kris.
P.s The Drinks & cheese platter delivered to your room on arrival are a really nice touch.

“WHAT MORE CAN I SAY!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 February 2010

Stayed in many B&B's previously, particularly in UK and NZ. Kriss has put Chaucer Palms on to top of our list. Ambiance and style, plus location, location.

“Beautiful B & B in Hamilton”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2009

We just keep finiding excuses to keep on coming back to stay here . Great location for a trip to the Hunter Valley and just around the corner from all the restaurants and eateries in Hamilton. The breakfast is to die for and the welcoming cheese platter on arrival with a drink is just another lovely touch. The hosts Kris and Bob are friendly and so welcoming and nothing seems to be too much trouble. The rooms are beautifully and the bathroom and spa bath is just a dream!
