Although this is a convenient hotel for Gateshead and especially the Metro Centre, it is very dated. There is no customer lift and quite steep stairs to climb with a suitcase if you are on the second floor which we were. The staff are nice and helped me get my suitcase down when we were checking out through the service lift. However, this is quite a dated hotel with basic amenities and not a place you would go stay at for a treat.
Friendly staff, great breakfast and conveniently located with parking out back, including EV charging spots. We forgot a bag in the room but the staff were happy to help when we arranged collection from reception.
There was a lot of dirt behind the bed and the extra blanket in cupboard was dirty including the bag it was kept in however I have stayed here twice and wouldn't stop me staying again thanks for service
