Great Hotel in Newcastle Upon Tyne

We were very impressed with this hotel. Our room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable and we were fortunate to have a lovely view of Newcastle.from our window. Our incuded breakfast was served in a magnificent reception room and was very 'a la carte' and delicious. Thank you. The front reception were friendly and offered us the service staff elevator to our floor as we were travelling with heavy suitcases. There are no lifts at this hotel.

There was alot of noise from other guests, slamming doors and talking loudly into the early hours of the morning. Also the room was very warm, so had to keep the window open, outside was also very loud. In terms of cleaniness, when I shut the curtains, a residue was left on my fingers and I had to wash my hands.

Really nice, but room for improvement

Really nice stay in a Junior Suite. Shame it was only for one night. Breakfast was excellent and the staff in the restaurant were friendly and efficient. Only downside was the bed was too soft, and the curtains were a poor fit for the window.
