This is great value for money and the staff were very friendly and I had a good stay, the rooms have warm feel not just plain walls and functional. Yes you are above a pub and it can be noisey but if you don't want noise go to travel lodge and stair at the white walls. The Douglas Valts is... More

I was staying at Douglas Vaults for a few days when I arrived in the Tyne and Wear region early this year. It was bearable but certainly no good. The bed was uncomfortable and caued a bad back ache. At night it was really loud - too loud to fall asleep before 1am - due to the pub downstairs. Even... More

The shower / toilets were very... More

Week long stay for work, v. helpful staff, clean and spacious accommodation in the third floor flat, brilliantly redone and a nice bar downstairs.

There are some very good points about this place but also a few gripes that can easily be addressed. Location (either for South Shields TC or for Newcastle TC, via Metro- but have change ready as notes not accepted), is excellent. Despite only being a pub, bedroom and refurbished bathrooms reflect decent hotel standards.Obviously price is modest so a stay... More
