After reading other reviews I have to say I was very apprehensive about staying here but I were very surprised when we arrived. The hotel is very clean throughout and although our room was small it had everything we needed including a TV with Freeview. It was nicely decorated with modern furniture and bedding and a super comfy bed! It... more

I have stayed at the hotel a number of times over the years when I have been running in the Great North Run. I would say that it is not the type of hotel you would take your wife or girlfriend. It is clean and the breakfast is excellent, but the rooms are old and tired and small. Badly in... more

On Staying here at the osborne hotel we found the rooms basic but clean, beds were uncomfortable but after a few drinks in the hotel bar on which stays open until you feel as if you need to go to bed. So that is a bonus point for the osborne! The girl they had on the desk was very knowledgable... more
