"Very central location and easy to get to. It is beside the long term car park at the train station so lack of parking facilities not an option. It was clean and well appointed for a limited service hotel."

Malmaison Newcastle

Malmaison Newcastle

10/10 Excellent
"My wife and I try to travel as often as possible. We like to find unique, fancy hotels and we just found our favorite. First, the location is the best in Newcastle. Close enough to all the downtown sites and activities, but still quiet enough to have a nice romantic walk. Second, this was the cleanest room we've ever stayed in. The entire hotel was top notch. Third, the staff was the most fantastic. Friendly smiles and went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed. I wish I would have eaten at the amazing looking restaurant and visited the spa. We definitely will be back to do it all. The corner room facing the bridge was absolutely incredible! Thank you for being part of us falling in love with Newcastle!"
