Disappointing Stay at Crystalbrook Kingsley

I previously had a great experience at Crystalbrook Kingsley during a business trip, so I was looking forward to my stay this time. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. The room configuration was a bit unusual but manageable. However, the bed was not comfortable, which made for a restless nights. I was also surprised to find that there were no robes or slippers in the room. After requesting them, only one set was provided. Another frustration was the lack of a bottle opener in the mini bar. I called to request one, but it took over an hour to arrive. By that point, I had already gone up to the rooftop bar to ask the bartender for help. Overall, a disappointing experience compared to my previous visit. I expected better attention to detail, especially for a hotel of this standard.

Disappointing Bar experience .

The hotel itself was perfect in terms of location and cleanliness. However we where extremely disappointed with the service we received in the bar. We had arranged to meet fellow residents there for for drinks at 9.30 pm and were informed by a very rude host that we needed to book in advance - the bar was half empty. It took time to convince her to let us stand at the bar and was asked by two other staff members if the host had allowed us to stand there.? Eventually we did get a seat and ordered a drink. But we felt unwelcome in the bar of the hotel we were residents in which tainted out stay . Terrible policy there should be seats at bar for walk ins or at the very least this policy should be explained at check in .

Wasn't that impressed. Rooftop bar was not opened as it was a long weekend. The pushbikes were out of service. Ordered a piccolo and received a milky coffee.

Firstly the staff at check in were excellent and secondly the room was lovely. The decor is stunning both in the foyer and the room. Everything was beautiful. Check out the next day was quick and easy. It was our first visit to Newcastle and will definately be back to stay for longer to be able to try the different styes of restaurants close to the hotel and take the walks around the parks. Can't wait
