Top Chester-le-Street Hotel Reviews

INNSiDE by Meliá Newcastle

INNSiDE by Meliá Newcastle

8/10 Good
"Lovely and comfortable stay in a convenient location, including for parking which was reasonably priced and close even when the nearest car park was full. The only downside to the room was this modern convention of sticking a shower in a glass cubicle within the room, rather than in a room of its own. I know this is often done to deter friends groups from reducing their number of room bookings, but even people travelling as couples sometimes enjoy a shower as one of the only times of their day spent by themselves and this prevents that. Otherwise a lovely hotel, and one I sought after a positive experience at a Meliá in Sevilla."

10/10 Excellent
"I’ve stayed in many hotels across the country, but this one truly stands out at the top. I was blown away by the cleanliness and the quality of the facilities. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the whole experience was worth every bit. I travelled for one night to visit friends, and even they were amazed at how spotless the hotel was. I was pleasantly surprised to find free electric car charging on-site — a very helpful bonus. Honestly, I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be returning any time I’m visiting Newcastle in the future."
