Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were very clean and modern, immaculate, and perfect for everyone. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will stay here again for sure, it's 5 stars for such a great place. However, the room felt a little cramped with not much space around the bed and was located away from the corridor fire exit door.
The hotel offers a cozy stay with clean rooms and friendly service. The location is convenient for exploring the local area, but some rooms may need updating. The dining options are satisfactory, and guests can enjoy a lovely breakfast. Overall, a decent choice for a comfortable and welcoming stay.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were comfortable and well-equipped, with hot water available all the time. However, there was a slight issue with the heating in the room, which required a fan heater. The service was exceptional, with friendly and accommodating staff, especially Sue at reception. The location was great, with plenty of eateries around and easy access to Newcastle center. The dining experience offered a variety of choices and was highly recommended for its cleanliness and friendly staff.
