Ok stay

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 12 Apr 2017via mobile
We chose to stay here as reviews were good but I wasn't really impressed. Staff were friendly and helpful.. the room.. when we arrived we were on 4th floor which I asked for e.g. quietness but it wasn't really as door open and shut constantly... the traffic kept us awake all night. My boyfriend tried to open the window, wouldn't open... the seal on the window had gone e.g. condensation between the double glazing too. There was a cracked floor tile in the bathroom.. there was mug rings on the table bit next to bed.. open wardrobe not much hanging space. Iron board looked well used.. we didn't use it! I didn't like that when u woke up in the morning that u saw yourself in the mirror as it was right in front of the bed.

Hi saishaw,

Thanks for choosing the Holiday Inn Express Newcastle - Metro Centre for your lodging needs, it's nice to receive feedback from you. We pride ourselves in providing friendly accommodations and that in mind, I am glad you found our staff hospitable. On the downside, please accept my sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by the noise and overall room upkeep. The situations you described are certainly not what we expect and be assured that this will be shared to the management so we may monitor and improve on these areas.

Once more, I appreciate that you have brought these to attention and I hope that you find your way back to us for a chance to make your next stay better than the last.

Warm Regards,

Jillian I

    We stayed here for three nights while touring the surrounding area. The room was spotlessly clean and a decent size. The staff were very helpful and pleasant and the buffet breakfast was better than usual buffet breakfasts. I would stay here again.

    Booked an easy to get to hotel for a stopover whilst travelling back from Cambridgeshire to Scotland. Our room was near a lift and overlooking a shared carpark so was initially concerned about noise. But the two nights we stayed there were very peaceful without any noise.

    The breakfast choice was good but was let down by the orange juice from a dispenser. The first morning it tasted like fresh juice but the next morning it tasted like watered down squash.

    We left our car whilst staying here as getting about is easy. The first night we dined at the next door pub after walking back from the Metrocentre which is a 15 minute walk away. The next day we got a cheap bus into Newcastle. The bus stop is about 50 metres away on the dual carriageway outside the hotel with very frequent cheap buses.

    We would definitely stop here again.

    We needed somewhere to break the journey travelling south and this fitted the bill perfectly. If I was to be hyper critical the rooms were on the hot side (could have opened the window!!) and not particularly big, but for less than £50 with breakfast it's excellent value. The staff were all friendly and helpful and it's a 2 minute drive from the metro centre and a short hop to the A1. We will certainly use it again.
