Royal Station Hotel

Royal Station Hotel

8/10 Good
"Really good 3 star hotel. Great location close to lots of bars and restaurants. Rooms were a good size and clean. Very old fashioned and could do with a bit of an upgrade but definitely worth the money. Had to pay extra to use the pool which was a bit of a downside. Would definitely stay again."

"For what must be an older hotel, the amenities are excellent, modern and well kept, swimming pool is massive with a jacuzzi hot tub, didn’t use the spa but looks amazing, bedroom was lovely, a nice size overlooking the garden area, nice and quiet, didn’t use golf course but ‘The Pin’ is a great place to visit ( in hotel grounds) sports bar, bowling, driving range, shuttle board and lots more, friendly helpful staff, will definitely be back!"

Malmaison Newcastle

10/10 Excellent
"After decades of staying in Newcastle we have tried numerous hotels and we find ourselves always coming back here. The staff are always really nice and genuine, the rooms spotlessly clean, public areas comfortable, food/restaurant really good. Located on the quayside with access to cheap, secure parking is a bonus. I believe most if not all of the rooms have been refurbished and are really smart. Save yourself a lot of time and just book Mal- you won't be disappointed!"
