Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were warm and comfortable, offering a nice view over the grounds and the river Tyne, but the location was inadequate, lacking necessary amenities. The service was friendly and welcoming, although one staff member's body odor was noticeable. The dining experience was enjoyable, keeping me satisfied throughout the day, but with some pricey options. Overall, a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although overlooking the road and having single-glazed windows, are spacious with a comfortable bed and a nice balcony. The service is friendly and helpful, with staff going above and beyond despite some areas feeling a bit overburdened. The location is excellent for exploring Northumbria attractions, but could do with some cleaning in certain spots. Overall, a stay with highs and lows.
