Don't stay here
I stayed here on the Saturday before the Great North Run, it was booked in June after my previous hotel cancelled my booking. So i was relieved to find this hotel, but horrified that it cost £213. This hotel at best is a £40 a night place. I'm surprised it passed fire safety regulations as the room was completely wooden panelled. The excessive noise from the hotel bar kept me awake. When that stopped drunk locals and traffic kept waking me up. The room rate excluded breakfast, but that was probably a good thing judging by the rest of the hotel. The receptionist was nice, but that doesn't benefit the experience of staying. The rooms habe women's names rather than numbers, which was amusing. However, I wouldn't choose to stay here ever again and only did because it was the only option available. Unless you are in this specific area for a reason it's not worth staying there and Newcastle/Gateshead is so small you could easily stay elsewhere unless there us a major event on.

Cheap and cheerful.
Just a cheap overnight stay with my son for Uni open day. Room was basic, and overall in need of renovation compared to what you expect in other cheap hotels. But staff were friendly and Hotel was easily commutable to Newcastle centre by taxi. Don’t expect the ritz, it is what it is.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The furnitures are too old. The bathroom is too small and the pressure of the shower is not good enough. The terrible aspect is that the building is too close to the road, and the noise coming from the passing vehicles is very uncomfortable. The worst of it all is that the room/the bed vibrates whenever bus or big vehicle pass the building, and I felt unsafe and uncomfortable through out my stay. I suggest that government needs to look at the spot of the road that causes the buses and big vehicles to vibrate the building while passing. Honestly, I felt very unsafe, very uncomfortable and very unhappy staying in this hotel.

Not recommended
My stay at this hotel was an absolute nightmare, the noise from music playing at full volume downstairs right up to the small hours of the morning was deafening. The hotel appeared un maintained, dirty and looks nothing like in the photos. Did not sleep a wink on Friday and Saturday night. #nosleepfridaysaturdaynight.

Staff is welcoming and friendly. (They dont even mind repeating 😂 because that accent hits hard..). Those room pictures that are posted here are nothing that, our was. Cleaning could be a little bit detail oriented.. Above the coffee table, on the ceiling, were cobwebs. Bathroom, - the water pressure was bad, the hot water heats up very slowly. The walls were with plastic boards in which there were holes. It was scary to take the shower, because if you need to hold on walls, then you can demolish. No heater there, bathroom was ice cold. I had previous experience in UK with bathroom water pressure, so that wasnt suprise. Location is alright. (Stores, such as ALDi & Metrocentre are 20min walk). It's quiet at night. Beds comfortable. It would be nice if small upgrade be done to apartments and update the location information on google maps because we were circling around private sites almost for an hour..

The room they initially moved us to was different from the room i paid for and it was noisy and it had bad drainage at the bath tub,we couldnot sleep all night because of the noise but the hotel staff said he cant do anything till morning when manager arrives,i called in the morning and spoke to the manager he moved us to the room i initially saw when i was booking,the room the manager moved us to the next morning was more comfy and quiet, the staff were polite,a tiny bone like pin punctured my right leg near the bathroom so they need to check the carpets to make sure no bones or sharp objects.
