The location was great for us as we arrived by train and was easy to get around. Room was good, a little dated (but typical for a historic hotel) hadn't been hoovered on arrival or in the 3 days we were there. Reasonable price for room only but breakfast was easily done with fridge supplied in the room, or easy to pop out somewhere close for dining. I didnt mind the £5 payment to use the gym, pool, sauna and really enjoyed the plunge pool. Resturant was good and reasonably priced and staff were very really good throughout . I would stay again

Terrible, we paid over £200 and got a dirty room which was dated, dark, musty, dusty, full of dated furniture which was marked. The windows were fiithy and looked out onto a corrugated roof. It was extremely noisy which didn't abate until 3am. We discovered breakfast wasn't included and was an extra £15 each and access to the pool cost another £5 each. The duty manager agreed with all our points but couldn't offer any discount due to us booking through Expedia. We were offered a discount for a future booking and breakfast, which we didn't take as we'd made other arrangements. For the money we paid we expected high quality but what we got was very poor. Good point - central location, and we were only staying one night. Worst accommodation experience, you have been warned.

Well located with some pros and cons.

Decor of the main areas very in keeping with the age of the building. Lovely period features etc in the common area and staircases. I was in a small double room which was fine. My window looked into a 4 sided interal area with the only daylight coming from about 3 storeys above. The area right outside my window could do with regular cleaning as it was covered in bird droppings. My window didn’t lock but unless someone had a ladder from the roof into the internal area there wasn’t any risk but the principle remains. My room wasn’t secure. Cleanliness was acceptable, in general. Stains here and there on chairs etc and small patch of carpet was bald. Some attention to detail cleaning in the bathroom needed as build up around base of shower screen, mugs had tea stains too. Despite the issues the room was very lovable and I didn’t report any issues as I was on a business trip and spent very little time actually in the room.

Staff in the restaurant helped us to celebrate our child's BD at breakfast. Sang BD together and made us so happy. The leisure centre started taking £5 charge but it was even better and clean the facilities. Only the room was a bit noisy for the party

Very close to the station, ideal as I was using the train. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Even though I was only staying one night they kindly kept my massive rucksack the following day until my train left in the evening for a £1 charity donation. There was some noise until late as it's in central Newcastle so understandable.

We arrived at 2.30pm and knew that check in was 3pm. We went to the bar, and it wasn't until 3.20pm that a member of staff came to us, with the keys to the room, apologised for the delay, and blamed new staff and gave us plus 2 drinks vouchers for the inconvenience. But even though when we arrived at our room, it was STILL not ready, as a house maid was still hoovering the room. When we checked in, we were given the choice of 2 rooms. 1 room on the 2nd floor which would be noisy, as it would at the front of the hotel, and a room on the 3rd floor, which would be quieter at the back of the hotel. We chose the room at the back, but upon entering, it was at the front.
