Reviews and Ratings
The hotel room, though a bit tired, was clean and tidy, offered at a price of nearly £90. The staff, including the engaging young lads, were excellent, but some could be more welcoming. The central location is lovely with great views, close to the riverside bars, but access can be an uphill hike. Dining options varied with warm pastries but limited bread choices. Refurbishment could enhance the overall experience.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room upgrade to a suite was impressive, but the cleanliness left much to be desired with dust and broken glass. The friendly service and comfortable suite were highlights, despite a minor interruption. The great location near the Sunday market added to the relaxing weekend atmosphere, though the breakfast could use improvement.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and comfy rooms offering a lovely view over the Tyne. The staff was kind and professional, ensuring our needs were met. However, there were some minor issues with hot water availability for the shower. The location was excellent, convenient for exploring the city center, but there was an unexpected extra charge for resident parking.
The hotel offered nice, spacious rooms with comfy armchairs, although the breakfast was just okay. The service was excellent, especially with a lovely understanding of customer care. The location was superb, not too close to the busy area but still central and peaceful. The dining experience was decent, though a bit more service-oriented approach would have been preferred. Overall, a good value for the price.
The hotel offers fantastic people watching views of the Tyne from the spacious room, with lovely breakfast in the morning. However, the early wakeup due to a missing TV remote was a minor inconvenience but manageable. The room exceeded expectations with various bonus areas and amenities like a big screen TV, comfortable seating area, and ample storage space.
The hotel offers spectacular views of the Tyne River from the really large rooms on the 5th floor with many perks. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, though there were some lapses. It's located in a prime spot on Newcastle Quayside, near bars and restaurants, making it an ideal choice for exploring the area. The dining experience was generally good, with a good variety, but could use some improvements. The facilities were great with nice outdoor areas for relaxation.
Staying on the 5th floor with a view of the river was a unique experience. Walking through the restaurant to get there added to the charm, and the ventilation system was a bonus, allowing us to enjoy watching the river and the lively quayside activities. However, the dining experience was a letdown despite paying extra for it.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, overlooking the river and close to the city center. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, with a lovely bay window to sit and relax while watching the river flow past. The service was friendly and helpful, especially the cleaner who went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The dining experience had its ups and downs but overall, it was a pleasant stay.
The hotel rooms are good-sized but could do with a refurb upgrade as they appear quite dated, not matching the website images. However, the exceptional breakfast delivered to the room is a highlight of the stay.
The hotel offers lovely, comfortable rooms with great views over the river, but the dining experience could have been better. The service was friendly and helpful, enhancing my stay. The location is excellent for exploring Newcastle's Quayside and the city center.
The hotel offers a great riverside view from the 5th-floor rooms, although some were dusty and unkempt. The staff were polite and prompt, but there was some confusion over additional charges. The location is convenient near bars and restaurants, with a slightly dated room but very clean. The dining experience had a good variety but lacked in execution. Overall, a decent stay with a few drawbacks.
I visited this hotel for the third time and absolutely love it here. The rooms may look a little dated, but they are clean, spacious, and offer stunning views of the river, bridges, and the adjacent Hilton hotel. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff ensuring a pleasant stay. The location is perfect for exploring both the quayside and the Gateshead side, and the dining experience, while excellent with a lovely selection, had a minor issue with having to wait for cooked items to be replenished. Overall, a great value for the money with some minor room for improvement.
The hotel feels like it's trying to be a four-star, with a room that overlooks the river and a dining room with the same view. The twin room was larger than expected, offering additional bonus areas like cupboard spaces, a fridge, and a big screen TV. The room had large windows letting in lots of sunlight.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel, from a super hot standard room to a huge but freezing executive room. Despite this, I look forward to returning for both business and pleasure, aiming to enjoy the beautiful view from the spacious and cozy rooms.
