Well positioned beside the railway station and with the town being so compact anyway its very handy to get around. Room was pokey but very good value. Walls were a bit thin so a bit of noise but all in all a pleasant stay.

Great position right opposite the station. Short walk to shops and quayside. Room on the small side but clean and comfortable. Would have given it a 4 star rating but for the noise. Our room was unfortunately right opposite the lifts and the noise from other guests arriving in at 2, 3 and 4 in the morning was terrible. My... More

Stayed here on business for a few days. The hotel was nice but the room was very hot. The breakfast was nice, but the dinner in the restaurant was expensive.

We stayed at the Thistle Newcastle last weekend having got a great deal.The hotel was just across from the train station and within easy walking distance to the quayside and situated right into the city centre. The room was exceptionally clean with everything we needed and had really comfortable bed.I was a bit apprehensive having stayed a few years ago... More

Yes this hotel is right opposite the train station, but thats it for good points!!! I stayed here on the 28th April 12 with my son. This was the worse nights sleep we have ever had.

Dear Reviewer Thank you for your feedback and please accept my deepest apologies for the interrupted sleep you encountered while staying with us. The location of the hotel has great advantages, such as no onward taxi journey, direct access from the mainline train station, close proximity to the attractions of Newcastle including St James Park and the Metro Radio Arena,...

Travelled up on business, usually stay in the Malmaison but fully booked. This place directly opposite the train station, ideal for quick visits. The hotel is very dated inside, the room i stayed in was awful. Small and cramped, old decor, old style bedding, hard bed, poor lighting, old style TV. Would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. Staff were very friendly,... More

This hotel is ideally located across from the main railway station. It is generally clean and tidy with a bright dining area and bar. My room was okay, very much what is now the norm for many city centre hotels.My two biggest problems were the heat and the noise. My room was on the front of the building so when... More

Right opposite the train station. Stayed there for a conference and as a package was reasonably priced. On looking at the prices for an independant traveller I would say its very expensive for what it is but as a conference deal it was ok. Good drink offers in the bar when the football was on, only had breakfast there and... More
