i was so excited to book travelodge because the photos look great and the pool seems fantastic and according to the description, it's in the heart of the city. we got there and i asked the reception if there was another travelodge because the one we went to had only 6 floors, whereas in the photo it looked like 20... more

I found the hotel to have everything you needed. Location isnt as close to the centre but its a 5-10 mins walk to beach. Newcastle has a lovely beach but the main street could do with a lick of paint. The hotel room was spacious and clean, couldnt fault it for the money. more

I stayed here on a Sunday and Monday night and therefore avoided the hen and stag parties. It was quiet and the room was a standard normal travel lodge room. It was perfect for the price paid and is within walking distance of the quay side and the millenium bridge. more

As a disclaimer/opening note, I stayed here several years ago, before it was operated by Travelodge. Then, it was quite dowdy - but Travelodge have done an excellent job renovating the place. The reception staff were incredibly friendly and helpful the entire time. I didn't go to the pool/restaurant/gym etc. The room itself was quite refreshing post-renovations, nice 'warm' vibe... more

As far as I could work out this hotel has recently changed hands from Best Western to Travelodge. Not being a great fan of Best Western generally (or "Nasty Western" as I prefer to call them), this explained some of the shortcomings of this hotel. They were about to start upgrading (should that have been demolishing...??). The property was generally... more
