The location was great however our room was on the main road facing a nightclub, so the noise was pretty bad even with double glazing. The breakfast buffet was basic and not enough plates to go round, and food kept running out. The property needs a facelift and major upgrade. Based on the developments around it, it looks like it will be demolished and replaced in the near future as it may not be the best and highest use of the land

I stayed on the 6th floor and it smelt damp. The lack of parking was a problem. The room was ok but overall the building is tired and needs refurbishment.

1.room lamps dark, can hardly read a book at night. 2.toilet seat lid can't stay upright, very low quality product. 3.bedside table has unknown liquid like glue. 4.Not a friendly check-in using a machine, staff seems not patient for the instructions when checking in 10pm as not familiar using the machine. 5.carpark always full after 10pm, have to park on street with extra 5min walking, particularly in the raining days. 6. buffet breakfast not many options you can choose 7. Abnormal noise at the nighttime, maybe the sounds from AC, but the AC not turning on at all. 8.stickly hairdryer handle. 9.compare to other Mercure hotels, this Mercure Newcastle hotel may not be your prefer one.
