    It's a tad scruffy in parts, but very clean.

    Location is great. Short walk across the millennium bridge to reach the main city sights. Hotel was very clean.

    Have stayed before at this hotel and it is always clean and tidy even if a little careworn but it will not stop me booking it again in the future.

    Doesn’t seem to be any air con and the room was quite warm so we had the window open but it’s close to a main road so quite noisy.

    Lovely greeting from the member of staff at the front desk, huge and incredibly comfy bed, clean and tidy room.

    The £10 car park charge is, I feel very very expensive. I understand if they charge commuters to park there, but not guests

    Nice comfy, spacious rooms. Helpful staff, very nice breakfast

    I think the bed was on wheels so when I lent on it to fasten my shoes I would move (alot), not great having been out for a couple drinks and returned to the hotel to get changed for the evening. The security guard when returning to the hotel was a bit over the top. I had forgotten my charger in my friends car so each time I went to use the lift he questioned me as to who my guest was, I didn't have a guest and the people I were with had their own rooms and showed their room keys. He did this multiple times. Before checking out I came down for breakfast but sadly I was too early (i miss read the serving time) so requested a cup of te while i waited,, the gentleman who served me seemed a bit miffed by my request and asked " is there non in your room". Surely if I am happy to pay for a cup of tea rather than use room facilities then that is my choice and shouldn't be questioned

    The hotel was very well presented. Check in was pleasant and done very quickly. Room was clean and spacious. Reception and bar staff were very friendly throughout the stay. Bar area was really nice to sit with a drink and wait while the rest of out party joined us.

    It's a bit of a distance from town, about 25-minute walk, and yes, Newcastle got a very not too convenient transportation system, so I resorted to walking most times.

    Nice Hotel and very comfortable. However, It needs a bit of makeover for the exterior.

    Not enough car parking spaces are available, esp as you pay £10 per night. Hardly any plug sockets in the room. Outside the hotel, particularly the side and back of the hotel were covered in litter. Was woken at 0615 on Sunday by a couple in the room below us fighting, shouting, screaming and then female crying. This went on for over an hour. It was very distressing to hear. Did report to reception.

    Staff were excellent. Breakfast options were good. It was clean although curtains in our room were looking tired.

    The exit code for the parking changes so the code that your given at checkin is useless. It also meant we couldn’t get out the car park without going back to reception and asking for the code

    Good location. Short walk over the Millenium bridge to get into town

    Some edgy guests, someone else commented that it's used as a bail stayover

    Nice hotel, helpful staff, didn't eat there so can't comment.
