Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has its ups and downs. The rooms are comfortable and clean, but a bit neglected. The service is decent with room for improvement. The location is convenient but had some challenging incidents. The dining experience varies, with some positives and negatives. Overall, a mixed experience depending on what you value the most.
The hotel is conveniently located just off the motorway with easy access to public transport to and from Newcastle. The rooms had shared bathrooms which were clean, but noise from the flushing and thin walls could be bothersome. The staff was incredibly helpful with bus routes and information. However, the hotel's three flights of stairs had a damp and stale odor.
The hotel is conveniently located for Gateshead shops and waterfront attractions with free parking. However, the overall experience was marred by safety concerns and disruptive behavior at night, leading to distressing situations.
