    "well-run place, good value for money" (108897820)

    breakfast, clean bathrooms

    I didn't realise that I only reserved the hotel but had to pay at check-in. I wasn't aware there was £2 fee for payment with card and didn't have enough cash on me.

    "Its wasnt great value for money, the rooms are tiny, we had stains on our bedding, Its situated near a police station and hospital so you hear the sirenes all night and the traffic. The breakfast was very poor." (108167652)

    "THE GENRAIL QUALITY OF SERVICE ON THE WHOLE VERY POOR." (108759587)

    CLOSE TO THE HOSPITAL, AND CLOSE TO THE TOWN CENTER FOR NIGHT LIFE.

    (1) I phoned on route to ask reception for parking, and was told to report to reception on arrival, and a gate would be poened,(£5 FEE) (2) When we arrived we picked up our room key, and found we had a doulble bed (NOT WHAT I BOOKED) whent to the reception and taled to the GUY, who told me that THERE WAS NO OTHER ROOMS. So we said that 2 grown men cannot sleep TOGEATHER (not gay,if we was no problem) and was offerd(A BLOW UP BED FOR THE FLOOR).(3)My mate asked for the £5.00 parking fee to be FREE OF CHARGE?, of good will? HE SAID NO. And IF WE LEFT HE WOULD STILL CHARGE US FOR THE ROOM.(4)He asked for payment and when i pulled out my debit card, he said there would be A £2.00 charge for USING MY CARD. But would take cash for the room the next day. (CASH JOB NON TRACEABLE??) My mate went to a hotel across the road,AND TOOK HIS CAR, FREE PARKING. And got a room for himself(£60) (5) Tth shower was in need of a re-fit. The shower head had mould build up, and in need of re-corking/sealing.I did not have breakfast, i did not want to chance it.

    "It is a bit outside of the center, but it is a nice place for staying a few nights. Overall, commendable." (108835210)

    The beds were fine, the shower excellent and the digital tv well appreciated on a rainy night

    A sink's tap was broken, the toilet door lock was broken, the staff was polite but not very friendly or talkative.

    Clean

    Noisy at night - people coming & going until 2am. Fan in en-suite went on all night.No hair dryer in room. It seemed to be much more of a hostel than a hotel.

    "It was adequat for overnight stay. " (108730086)

    The hotel was clean and the Staff were helpful. Breakfast was well presented.

    Torn sheet on one of the beds. No Cot for my 7 month old grandson although we had informed them on booking.

    "For the price this was an excellent option and although we were a little distance from the centre the hotel served it's purpose of providing a nice room for a small price." (108125134)

    Very good sized room for the price. Although we asked nothing of the staff they were polite and the thrown in breakfast was better than expected.

    The area was potentially dodgy as we saw a number of police cars circling the area and a drunken baffon tried to befriend us but thats what you get for wandering the streets at 10.30pm.

    "Fine for the price, but not somewhere I would stay for any length of time. " (108341904)

    Price, Breakfast good, efficient booking and check in. Good shower and bed comfortable.

    Very noisy room - was woken extremely early by another guest slamming doors. Area not the most desirable. Room a bit cell-like.

    "Bad experience." (108893734)

    Very noisy at nights.Creaking floors etc. TV not working. Very poor breakfast---hardly a continental breakfast, as advertised. An ordinary B+B would have been better value with a decent breakfast.

    "Adequate" (108512987)

    We had a room with a bed. The plums offered for breakfast were nice

    Complete lack of service or interest from staff

    Poorly made beds in a noisy room, we were woken by the sounds of people walking in the room above and other guests' alarms, staff showed no interest, poor breakfast, bed's badly made, grossly over-priced - the worst hotel I have ever stayed in

    There was plenty of fruit at breakfast and the rooms were always clean.

    The breakfast could have been a bit better, wider variety and more toppings for sandwhiches. A 24hr reception, wasn't necessarily true. There wasn't always someone there and no where to leave the key in a safe place if this was the case and the guest was in a hurry.

    Clean and good value for money

    There was a party with very loud music which went on until 4 oclock in the morning. We got very little sleep.

    "Friendly, clean, and perfect for a place to use as a base for weekend. Been twice now. Would recomend." (108631739)

    Cheap Rooms,Very clean rooms, and shared bathroom was very clean. Close to Newcastle train stations (about 10-15 min walk, though up a large hill) Taxi's cheap, or buses every few mins. No curfew as reception is manned 24 hrs. Very friendly staff!

    Breakfast: Continental: fruit, toast, cereal, tea and Coffee only! Finding light switches in dark coridoors. Cleaners clean rooms everyday, and won't take "no" for an answer.

    "Overall the staff were very pleasant. The breakfast more than sufficient. Good if you just need a hot shower with clean towels, a bed for the night and cereal, fruit and toast to set you on your way." (108274890)

    Ease of booking and checking in. Room was spacious and clean. Continental breakfast was more than adequate to make a good start the next day. Secure parking was good for peace of mind. Close to the city centre - 15min walk.

    Secure parking was £5 extra - remember to include in your calculations of value for money. Also the extra £2 charge fro using a credit card to pay - not common for hotel bookings. The geographical area was a bit rundown. Some of the general decor, carpets etc was a little in need of renewal.

    good secure parking. Great breakfast. Nice staff. Near bus stop And I've never seen a toaster like theirs.....it is great!

    double room a bit small no wardrobe- had to hang clothes on back of door Access to hotel and secure parking very hard to find due to 1way systems, sealed off streets,and road works.

    "Excellent value for money for a comfortable, clean, bed for the night." (108117784)

    Easy access to city centre. Friendly and efficient staff. Good continental breakfast. Excellent value for money on a late availability rate. Good secure parking.

    Next to General Hospital - lots of emergency vehicle sirens and fronting onto a very busy road. Our room was quite small, but very adequate for an overnight stay.

    Excellent value and location, friendly staff, spacious and light.

    We stayed in a smoking room, and hadn't been given the option of a non-smoking room. Not a big problem though.

    staff willing to accomodate my request for early breakfast

    my room was next to shared toilet (noisy extractor fan), and because it was so hot weather (summer), inside the room was hot, and having window open = noisy.

    Free wi-fi, good shower and decent breakfast in the price.

    Uncomfortable bed, very very noisy late and night and early in the morning. I Came back on the second day to find the door to my room unlocked and wide open! I had valuables inside but luckily none had been stolen or touched so I didn't complain to avoid a tedious process.

    "I would take my ear plugs if i stayed again, you get what you pay for, the hotel was cheap in comparison to the others in the city. a cooked breakfast would have been nice rather than just the continental but continenetal was well presented and plenty of it." (107437724)

    location was great just outside city centre and very reasonable cab fares

    needs sound proofing, was kept up all night with pople going back to rooms and getting up in the night above us, these were not rowdy people, they were simply getting up or going to bed

    tidy room, quiet hotel, good nights sleep. bathroom and bedding very clean.

    nothing in or around hotel if you wanted a nightcap, although taxi from town was only £7 so easy to get to and from centre

    Clean, convenient for the town centre at a reasonable price, secure parking, breakfast (continental) varied and plentiful. Staff polite.

    Reputation of the area not good (according to relatives living in Newcastle) but we had no issues. Obviously converted from residential home and some rough edges - sink loose, mirror not hanging on wall

    Booking was easy. Location of hotel is excellent as its in close proximity to everything that one needs.

    Room was very dusty. Minute I walked into the room, started to sneeze and have running eyes. This continued everytime we were in the room so stayed out for the whole day and just come in to sleep. No longer at hotel and sneezing has stopped. Only happened as soon as I walk into the room.

    "1. Ideal for short stay - good general standard for the price - rooms too small for longer than a couple of nights 2. Remember to book a parking space!" (107405769)

    1. Booking - I made a mistake with my online booking. When I rang Active Hotels/Booking.com, the support staff (Emma?) was extremely helpful - thank you :-) 2. Hotel: Staff were friendly and efficient; continental breakfast was very good; price very good; Room was ideal for an overnight stay. 3. Location: @1 mile (1.5km) to city centre - walked in 15 mins (downhill) / taxi back to hotel

    Dining Room: spilt tea/food on wall (off-putting)

The Hotel has never provided detailed directions of how to find it, so it took us over an hour to locate the hotel, after asking a local shop keeper. " (107521157)
