Plenty of easy outdoor parking. Relatively level ground. Big room. Big shower, more than enough hot water. Comfortable bed. Friendly staff. Easy access to the club.
Great staff, huge room, huge bath with double sinks, double shower heads, deep jetted tub. Also two desks, a bistro table with 2 chairs as ell as desk chairs and a view of the river. Would definitely stay there again! Very comfortable king bed to top it off.
Our stay was exactly how we pictured it. From the first hello to the final goodbye, the staff, the facilities and the whole vibe did not disappoint. Highly recommended accomodation in Newcastle.
Thank you for everything.
Everything was wonderful. Room was great. Beds comfy. Staff was fabulous. My only problem was tiny things. We had 4 adults in the room. Went to make cuppas in the morning and only 2 cups. Not enough towels for us all
We enjoyed our overstay and will be back again! Loved to spa bath.. only one tiny negative thing I could say is - wish had more shampoo and conditioner for my long hair!. Excellent breakfast buffet deal if you do pay advance, we felt like we are on holiday!
