Stay here for 5 nights while down at Watergate Hoapital for a course. The room was comfortable, the breakfast was good and the staff were helpful and friendly. Close to Osbourne Rd so lots of bars and resturants near by but far enough away from the noisy night life to get a good sleep. 10 mins walk from the metro... more

The hotel is in Jesmond, a very nice suburb about a mile or so North of the city centre. Jesmond itself is excellent during the summer months with a selection of bars with beer gardens all the way down this street (hotel is 2min around the corner from it). It is a nice walk into the centre if you can't... more

The breakfast was lovely and i would definatly stay there again. Thanks... more

We stayed in this hotel for a night as part of a hen party. Reading earlier reviews filled me with dread as to what we may find - but it just goes to show you shouldn't believe everything you read! We had a fantastic time. The place was spotless, staff very friendly, food lovey and accomodation excellent! The location was... more

I stayed one night while attending a function, the locations great for Jesmond and the metro isn't too far away. I found all the staff friendly but there were problems with my room. It was furnished reasonably well and had a comfortable bed but the TV had been there since the seventies, cigarette burns in the plastic, no remote control... more

I stayed here on account of good reviews on this site but will be sure to do more research next time. It has all the worst aspects of dated, British hotels and makes Fawlty Towers look like something from Blade Runner. It reeks of pine air freshener, has mould, peeling wallpaper, dirty toilets with seats that don't fit, shabby, smelly... more

A small party of us stayed here recently - chosen because of good reviews. This hotel has a very run-down and unstylish ambience despite the presence of some new wallpaper. Rooms very pokey, no soundproofing, uncomfortable beds, antiquated televisions, ancient wall-mounted hairdryers and radios. Downstairs there is a pervading odour of cigarette smoke and chip fat. In my room, the... more

We stayed there for the night. The hotel is ideally situated near the city centre, near some local shops, and close enough for a cheap taxi. The hotel itself is lovely, and the staff, especially Big Mick, were fantastic. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who prefers a homely hotel compared to the mainstream brands. 11 out of 10 more
