When needs must
The room wasn't ensuite as advertised. It was shabby to the exent of being south east asia. Broken wall plaster, zero advertised wifi and grubby. The shared bathroom was in a horrid state broken tiles poor water pressure etc. Only saving factor was 70% of the staff 70% of that were more interested in the bar 1 short haired women was the ridest person ive ever met. It was cheap and met my needs people pay the extra 20 per night

I found what I could only assume was a bag that had had white powder in it in my bedside draw, so much for cleaning. Hole in bathroom door, bathroom window was broken. In all the state of the hotel and the location was awful.

Cheap and cheerful.
Just a cheap overnight stay with my son for Uni open day. Room was basic, and overall in need of renovation compared to what you expect in other cheap hotels. But staff were friendly and Hotel was easily commutable to Newcastle centre by taxi. Don’t expect the ritz, it is what it is.

Hotel recommendations
The room is small, but comfortable. The staffs in the reception are polite and helpful, but the driver of the shuttle bus is normal.

Charming Hotel with pub.
Nice little Hotel in Gateshead area around 7 minute drive from Newcastle Center. Single room was large with sink and tea and coffee facilities. Comfortable bed and room was clean. The only major gripe I had was the shared shower which had virtually no water pressure.
