Newstead Belmont Hills

Recently enjoyed a 4-night stay in Room 651 at the Newstead and thoroughly enjoyed our vacation! At check-in, we were warmly greeted by the front staff. As our room was not yet available, we enjoyed a wonderful lunch in the Aurora restaurant. Later, a stunning sunset. Our room was on the 5th floor overlooking the water and Hamilton. A joy to sit on the balcony each morning to enjoy a cup of coffee. The Newstead offers complimentary shuttle service to Coco Reef, where we swam at Elbow Beach, then enjoyed lunch overlooking the ocean. Later, we took the shuttle over to Blu for a wonderful sunset dinner. The infinity pool offered leisurely views across the water towards Hamilton. Enjoyed the best Bermuda fish sandwich at the pool bar! Our room was well appointed with comfortable beds. This was our sixth trip to Bermuda, and first stay at The Newstead - we chose it for the location, amenities (shuttle service!) and friendly staff. A tremendous value!

We stayed here for a special family trip and left disappointed, especially given the price and the hotel's 4-star rating. The biggest issue was the front desk, which was consistently unfriendly and unhelpful. What made it even more noticeable was that every other person we encountered in Bermuda—from restaurant staff to shopkeepers and taxi drivers—was incredibly warm and welcoming. The contrast with the service at the hotel was striking. The property itself also feels more worn than the photos suggest. Our room had several maintenance issues, including curtains coming off the rod and a sink handle separating from the counter. None of these were major problems individually, but together they didn't reflect the level of quality we expected. That said, the housekeeping staff were excellent. Our room was spotless every day, and they were the highlight of the experience. One tip for future guests: I would strongly recommend renting a car. We found taxis to be both expensive and unreliable, which made getting around more difficult than expected. Overall, I wouldn't say it's a terrible hotel, but I do think travelers should temper their expectations. Based on our experience, it did not feel like a true 4-star property or justify the premium price.

Newstead Belmont was wonderful. Our room overlooked Hamilton. A beautiful view. The location was convenient as we had stayed in Paget many times. We had a two bedroom suite with family. We wanted to have a common area for relaxing together rather than 2 single bedrooms. It worked out great. Shuttles were there to bring us to the beach and the Belmont for dinner. My only suggestion would be to add to the ferry schedule. The ferries were too far apart. I realize it was a winter schedule but it was very limited.

My hubby and I was blown over with the balcony room overlooking the sea with the city in the distance. Exceptional views both day and night! All the suite's amenities including the spa jacuzzi were top notch. We enjoyed the entire weekend with the car rental exploring the island's variety of things to do then retreating to our splendid room! Bermuda is one place that everyone blessed enough should visit. And stay at Newstead!!!!!

Lovely spot on the harbour, staff very helpful, restaurant very good.
