I was one of the few people who stayed over the christmas period to visit friends and family and once again found the hotel to be be fine for the price I paid. Staff were once again friendly and the secure car park round the back very handy. Yes its faded, but the room was fine, the bathroom clean and... More

i recently stayed here at the weekend with my husband for a night out at Newcasle can i just say ignore the bad reviews! Yes the decor is outdated but lets face it you dont go to a hotel to sit and look at the wallpaper! staff were very helpful and polite.. May i add its was immaculate and im... More

This is a £20 hotel, I was one of about 5 other people checked in to what used to be a quality hotel. By staying here, you seem to be subsidising the cost of having security watching the property.

It was pretty bad. I wouldn't stay here again, if I knew it was going to be like this I wouldn't have booked it.... More

Stayed here recently, to be fair staff were pleasant enough, breakfast was not bad either, room was clean, maids were effficient, all the hotel really needs is a lick of paint and a bit of TLC, good base to explore Newcastle especially for groups of guys or gals. Does have the potential to be really good More

I stayed here because it was very cheap but I still think I was overcharged. It's grim, tatty and extremely noisy. More
