It’s an old hotel. The outer windows were filthy. And there was a lot of building noise from next door. I had a terrible desert on the night and that convinced me not to buy breakfast. Overall, the pix used to entice me to book were a bit of a lie and deceiving.

The hotel lobby and ground floor in general is very nice and appealing but when we headed up stairs the halls were quite old and just the opposite of the fresh and lovely smelling, modern lobby. We did enjoy the self check in and check out. I thought that was very smart and the machines were very easy to use. The room was not bad at all and the beds were comfy, overall a nice hotel room, just hallways bring the vibe down ( old carpets, old paint just felt yucky). Staff were lovely and our daughter used the pool for a little in the afternoon, good value and with further updates of the hallways and lifts, im sure it will be even better. Room service offered was a great bonus and onsite parking Too! Overall really happy with our stay and the service.

Our room faced the street and the windows could not be shut properly. At night, the sounds from motorbikes and cars roaring up and down the street kept us up until past midnight. In addition, the shower head in our room was not able to stay in upright position properly and had to be adjusted every so often. The pool was small and cold, breakfast choices were limited. Overall we’re not impressed with the stay and would not return.

Initially I read the reviews after booking and was regretting my choice, however once I arrived I was pleasantly surprised, This is a lovely place to stay and the food is good too. The thing that makes this place is the staff, every single staff member I spoke to was helpful and friendly even going above what one would reasonably expect. Great place to stay, and I’m glad I didn’t read the reviews first.

Enjoyable stay. Only neg comment is the pool ladder steps, not easy to negotiate for an older adult especially if you've got large feet, the steps are tiny. Otherwise recommend this place if you want to fe in the city without a huge price.

My experience at Mercure Newcastle was disappointing. The hotel felt outdated, with poor soundproofing – I could clearly hear conversations and TV noise from the next room. The room itself had an unpleasant odor, making the stay uncomfortable. Additionally, the air conditioning unit was old and emitted loud noises, so we chose not to use it. The only positives were its convenient location, easy parking, and proximity to central attractions. However, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel unless improvements are made.
