Great restaurant. Very pleasant staff. However, WiFi in my room was very unreliable. Had to sit in the lobby or restaurant to get my messages. Other quibbles. Room had awful lighting. Nowhere to plug in kettle unless you moved the whole thing over to the desk. Luggage place had no light nearby. Had to use my phone or move my suitcase onto the bed to see what I needed. Was adequate for my needs, but because of the above circumstances, would not return.

Stayed here for the first time the night before my daughter’s graduation. Such a shame I didn’t find this great hotel sooner! We had a really comfortable stay here and will definitely be back next time we visit Newcastle 😊

Great, but..

The hotel was excellent, staff very friendly and helpful. The only complaint I have is we booked a table in the restaurant before we got there for a meal with the family for 7.30pm. We got there on time, the starters and main course were good and we enjoyed them, but when we came to order dessert around 8.50pm we were told the kitchen closed at 9.00pm and desserts needed to be ordered before 8.30pm. Nobody had informed us, the waitress said it was on the email booking confirmation, when I checked later, it wasn’t. It left a sour taste because we couldn't have sweet! We didn't use the restaurant for the rest of our stay. Breakfast was good.

I was happy with the property and my room however breakfast was poor. Cooked breakfast was served buffet style but all of the food in the chafing trays was cold. I also asked for a fried egg and the waitress forgot about it. The breakfast was certainly not worth £13. I would give a score of 0 out of 5 for breakfast.

Good hotel that has a convenient on site pub. We used this hotel for Newcastle races. Thus was only a short taxi ride away so was convenient. Hotel is modern inside with goid facilities in rhe room (tea,coffee,biscuits and toiletries) Aircon in the room also. Had food in the onsite pub on 1st night but unfortunately there was no food option on the 2nd night ( staff gave different excuses) Its definitely worth getting the breakfast as there is plenty of options and the quality is very good. Would definitely stay here again
