Hotel is in a great location for getting into Newcastle. Bus stop right outside where busses run every 5 minutes to take you into the city centre. The hotel itself could do with a touch up in places but I think this is reflected in the price, as it is much cheaper than city centre hotels and other hotels in the local area. I think the hotel represents good value for money all things considered and I would stay there again.

The room was ancient and very tired… there was damage to the bathroom door as if someone had punched a hole in it… bathroom window wouldn’t close… hot water was non existent, beds were uncomfortable and well used, duvet cover hardly covered the mattress, room was cold…. If it wasn’t so late in the day I wouldn’t have stayed there… the lady on reception was the only saving grace, she was friendly and helpful.

Cheap but dated

Staff were friendly/helpful etc, bar prices were reasonable..interior is very dated and well worn/past its sell by date..heating was on so it was warm enough..I was there late and leaving early so it was just a bed for the night etc, worst bit for me was the hopeless shower, water was nice and hot but there was no water pressure at all and it barely trickled out..(even an electric shower would have been better and they are useless).....

Cheap and cheerful.

Just a cheap overnight stay with my son for Uni open day. Room was basic, and overall in need of renovation compared to what you expect in other cheap hotels. But staff were friendly and Hotel was easily commutable to Newcastle centre by taxi. Don’t expect the ritz, it is what it is.

Ok

The room they initially moved us to was different from the room i paid for and it was noisy and it had bad drainage at the bath tub,we couldnot sleep all night because of the noise but the hotel staff said he cant do anything till morning when manager arrives,i called in the morning and spoke to the manager he moved us to the room i initially saw when i was booking,the room the manager moved us to the next morning was more comfy and quiet, the staff were polite,a tiny bone like pin punctured my right leg near the bathroom so they need to check the carpets to make sure no bones or sharp objects.

Staff is welcoming and friendly. (They dont even mind repeating 😂 because that accent hits hard..). Those room pictures that are posted here are nothing that, our was. Cleaning could be a little bit detail oriented.. Above the coffee table, on the ceiling, were cobwebs. Bathroom, - the water pressure was bad, the hot water heats up very slowly. The walls were with plastic boards in which there were holes. It was scary to take the shower, because if you need to hold on walls, then you can demolish. No heater there, bathroom was ice cold. I had previous experience in UK with bathroom water pressure, so that wasnt suprise. Location is alright. (Stores, such as ALDi & Metrocentre are 20min walk). It's quiet at night. Beds comfortable. It would be nice if small upgrade be done to apartments and update the location information on google maps because we were circling around private sites almost for an hour..

Really enjoyed our stay, such friendly staff, convenient having the pub underneath, gave us a local taxi number which is nice and also checked on our taxi to make sure it was the right one when we were leaving. Rooms clean, beds comfy, everything we needed for short stay. Brilliant shopping centre 1mile away and quick into city centre or Town Moor for events, highly recommend
