Gloomy and tired hotel sadly. Marketing materials suggest its being renovated but I saw nothing to suggest that. My room was gloomy, grim and faced a brick wall. The flat screen tv promised was in fact a tiny portable that was painful to watch it was that small. The staff are friendly but the hotel is so grim they don't... more

It was a pain to find but free parking beside the hotel made the hunt worthwhile. For this many stars one would expect to be delighted at least once by something, but the whole experience was of a slightly tired and ordinary establishment. One major plus was late checking out on the Sunday which effectively added a day to our... more

The Vermont is in a fantastic central location surrounded by historical buildings. We were meeted and greeted on arrival and shown to our room which had incredible views of the Newcastle/Gateshead quayside.

I stayed here with a friend while attending a concert in Newcastle. First of all the location is brilliant, city centre yet has a secluded feel. On check in i thought the entrance and reception were lovely and our room on the 7th floor was nice too, perfect size for a twin room. The bathroom, shower and complimentary toiletries were... more

Having read all these reviews we were slightly worried, but it was all fine. Had a room on the 10th floor overlooking Tyne with good views. No noise from trains or the loud bar on the otherside. Reception was european so hard to understand and the whole hotel is 'dark' but it was all OK. Had A/C which was needed... more
