Stayed at Albatross for a one night trip. The room was great value for money, and the location was central and ideal. The room and facilities were clean and functional, and the bed was comfortable with no noise issues. Staff at the front desk were lovely and friendly - overall a great simple stay.

This is a hostel and not a hotel. That said I had a private room that was inexpensive. it was warm, comfortable and felt safe. The hostel is excellently placed in the centre of Newcastle near nightlife. But I heard no noise from my room at the rear of the property.

Quite good stay thinking of the price

Thinking of the price, I had a good stay in this hostel. But what I did not like was that all the sockets were gathered in one spot.
