Very disappointing overnight break the noise we experienced throughout the night was disgraceful from both within the hotel and outside the hotel. I have tried to speak with the duty manager regarding my experience and have had no response. For an hotel that markets itself as a luxury hotel it was not the experience myself and my two daughters expected.

Excellent location and very friendly, helpful staff. Unfortunately in the Aparthotel there seems to be a major issue with hot water supply and pressure so a shower on Saturday evening was lukewarm and then just no water at all. Apparently this is an ongoing problem especially when everyone is using showers in the building. In fairness we were offered complimentary breakfast for all 4 of us.

We were lucky to get a space in the tiny carpark. The door cards didn't work so I had to go back to the reception to get them re authorized. The view from our room was mainly brick wall. The cold water tap on the bath didn't work. So we had to use the shower to cool the hot water. The bathroom sink took ages to empty. We wanted to visit the rooftop bar for a drink and see the sights but was told we couldn't as we hadn't booked, we didn't know that it was booking only as hotel guests we thought it might be easy to get up there. Very disappointed

Great location, stunning facade, cold and took a while to be warm it uo. Charging £2 for what should be complimentary water - when yiu have paid above the going rate seems cheap. Leaving bag with concierge without tagging system was not professional and WiFi was intermittent in room. No facilities for e-cars

I was a little concerned when they had my reservation for one night instead of two. Not sure if it was an Expedia issue or the hotels’. The problem was resolved within a few minutes. All was well.

A hotel that can offer any occasion.
We had to ask to be moved into a different room with quieter surroundings and the reception staff were great in sourcing another room that was more appropriate for our stay. The breakfast had a great selection and the bar was relaxed and quiet on both the Saturday and Sunday of our stay.

Two locations!! Not great
Beware!! When you book this place they dont tell you there are TWO different locations. We booked the Vermont because we wanted to be close to a wedding venue. Foudnnoutnon chrckin that our room was at another location which does not have the amenities listed for the hotel! No breakfast, no gym, no parking!! And to add on to the misery our room was directly over aloud club so it was terribly noisy until 330am!!!

Food in restaurant had very limited choice. Were told we could order from bar menu when we enquired earlier in the day but when we got to table it was only from restaurant menu. Burgers/ fish and chips. Disappointing for a restaurant menu.

Great location for exploring Newcastle
Great location for exploring Newcastle. Some of the decor is a little dated and rooms could do with a safe. Lift has a mind of its own. Whatever number you pressed it went down to 1! Breakfast was amazing great quality produce. If you’re a light sleeper you might struggle with the train line as it’s very close. Rooms were very hot but they did provide a fan. We would go back!

Our booking was with the Vermont hotel and that's also were we were lead, but turns out we were in the aparthotel, which was a walk away from the hotel. The staff was very friendly and helped out with everything.
