We stayed in this hotel while walking Hadrian's Wall. This hotel's main advantage is it is half a mile from the start of the walk, and across the street from the Metro station, so getting to and from Newcastle proper is easy. It is very basic but perfectly fine. We were there on a Sunday night, and while the information we had said they served meals on Sunday nights, they did NOT (not enough people to bring the chef in), but they gave us some recommendations for restaurants in nearby Little Wallsend, so we walked there and had a nice meal They have wi-fi in the bar, but it doesn't get into the rooms.

rooms were dirty, night porter threatened to bill my bank card for £120, i had to cancel my bank card, turns out this was not the case, am very angry, went home early covered in flea bites, sheets had blood on and towels had human dirt on, when we left at 6am nobody was at desk front door was open.

Arrived at the hotel very early on Friday morning knowing our rooms wouldn't be ready until 2pm but the very friendly lady on reception said she would get them done for us by 12 as we had been travelling all night! The hotel decor is very dated and would recommend this hotel for a 'nice weekend away' ....but having said that it was perfect for us as we were 8 girls on a hen night !!
We bought our own drink and the barman opened it for us and gave us a bucket of ice to keep it cool :)))
Only downfall was that we weren't that close to the centre. If you order a taxi from the hotel it was about £8 for a 5 seater but if you flag a taxi down it was about £14!! All in all i would defo recommend it :)))

Had a Lovely time in Newcastle,sunny day,Hotel was one stop off the metro ,well 6 stops but still ,easy to get to ,nice room,nice Breakfast and very helpful staff.
Would tell other people to stop,but if after midnight a hotel a bit nearer...but still for the price a bargin,a hidden gem.
