This hotel confirms that they used to be!! It does the job it was built for and although it can't be that old it feels dated in a strange modernish way!! The beds to me are quite uncomfy, the lighting in the room is extremely poor, quite depressive and useless if you want to work in the room, because the... More

We booked a room for three, my wife and my youngest son and I, for a trip to see Newcastle Utd v's Manchester Utd at St James Park. We drove down from Scotland and the hotel was very easy to find being only a few hundred yards off of the A1. My wife wanted to shop at the Metro Centre... More

The room was nice and clean with a clean en suite shower room, with a decent shower. We booked this hotel purely because of... More

Stayed here for two nights as a base to have a good look round Newcastle and found the hotel to be as good as the other hotels in the chain. The rooms are clean and comfortable, bathroom large enough and with a good powerful shower. The staff were friendly and efficient, and knowledgable about the local areas and transport arrangements.... More

I have stayed here several times and I would recommend it. The staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms are clean and comfortable. There is free on site parking and it is literally a stroll across the carpark to TGI Fridays, KFC, Frankie and Benny's, and there is also a pub but, I couldn't tell you what it is... More

Hello. We visited this hotel on 5th November 2011. It was a last minute thing, the hotel was very clean warm tidy and friendly. The drinks at the bars was reasonably priced and a very good selection. We slept very well no loud guest. The room was just perfect. We are going to Salisbury in a few weeks and have... More
