We stayed for a weekend in this hotel because we always felt it was special and had a prime location over the river. Previously we had been very, very happy with Newcastle Marriott hotels, more

We were calling off in Newcastle to have dinner at a friends restaurant at the Baltic Wharf. So we decided to stay at the Hilton simply for its location being walking distance from the venue. We booked online and paid £109 on a room only basis - check in was great, was a little miffed that there was no valet... more

This is one of the nicest hotels I have stayed in. It looks good from the outide and is modern and airy inside. It location is great, with only a 10 minute walk into Newcastle city centre across one of the River Tyne bridges (but be prepared for some small hills!) I arrived on an early flight and had requested... more

The Hilton is very central. Room was very clean as was the bathroom - lovely shower and very soft towels!!. We had a room overlooking the river/bridges which was a bonus, the only bad thing was............. the aircon..........quite noisy and it was soooooo hot in the night(couldn't open the window). We walked into the city for our evening meal so... more

A fab base for a couple of days in Newcastle. Very new, stylishly-designed hotel with spectacular views over the river and the Tyne Bridges. Just a few minutes stroll to the Baltic Centre, or ten minutes across the bridge and into the city centre. Worth paying extra for an Executive Room, as you get access to the Executive Lounge with... more

We have just returned from a Tesco clubdeal break at the Hilton in Newcastle. We had a great time. We booked an Executive Room - which was a little on the small side, one double bed and a single pull out sofa bed for our 16yr old which wasn't very comfortable for him. The bathroom was very nice with a... more

We he best feature was the level of service, friendliness, and willingness of the staff to do everything they could to provide an enjoyable stay. Great room with river views, good location and fantastic breakfasts. We;ll visit the Gateshead Hilton again soon. more

The hotel is beautiful, situated on the river, between 2 bridges. Our rooms were exactly what I had asked for…….adjoining rooms on an upper floor, overlooking the river. Our rooms were very large, the windows were floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall. Absolutely beautiful!!! The hotel staff was very friendly, even the maids would smile and chat us up, asking where we had been... more

Positives: New building, so the hotel feels "fresh", great location and great views if you're lucky enough to get a room facing the river and bridge. Negatives: Service is typically Bristish and indifferent. Basic requests seem to be a very complicated undertaking. The computer just wants to "say no" Once, I had to stay overnight unexpectedly and was forced to... more
