Noticeably more basic than a Travelodge (it seems to have been a Formule 1 in an earlier incarnation) with shared 'self-cleaning' toilets - watch out for wet floors.
My room door showed signs of repair after being kicked in. Numerous warning posters about drugs and unruly behaviour.
However, I stayed on a Thursday night and it was quiet. I got a very good night's sleep. The staff are very friendly although they blinked when this senior citizen walked in ('Are you sure you've got the right hotel, sir? Not the Novotel next door?') Rooms at the back are quieter for traffic noise - bring your own soap, and don't be afraid to complain if something doesn't work - in my case the TV (they changed my room).
The sheets were clean and the bed comfortable. Bus X47 stops nearby for the city centre or it's a ten minute walk to Kingston Park Metro Station.

Must admit been to a lot worse but for that price you can't beat it the staff who are excellant give you good ideas where to go.
There is a toby carvery next door which give you an excellant meal all day at very reasonable price at £6.
Your only 5min walk away from the metro train station right beside express tesco to buy your carryouts or food whatever tickle's your fancy.
The beds arent slumberland but hey when you want a bed to sleep in a beds a bed better than an allyway or a bush or even worse police station cell LOL.
We enjoyed our stay and if we do come back to Newcastle for another stag do will definately book metro inns it might not be everybodys cup of tea but it was ideal for our party of 5.

well I definitely won't be staying here again you certainly do get what you pay 4 and less the rooms smell discusting and the toilets cant even describe how discusting they are (don't you have cleaners) ???? and i didn't even bother looking in the showers id rather go without, i didnt get chance 2 check how uncomfy the beds probably was as my friend got kicked out so we had 2 leave and also lost our deposit maybe if wasn't such a dive people might have more respect. 1 tip knock it down and start again.
Other than that newcastle was a wicked night and all the people are really nice even the ones in the hotel well the geordie ones anyway!!!!

Firstly, the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout. They should be given particular praise for this given that the hotel was crawling with hen parties and teenage lads with attitude.
The staff aside however, this hotel is one to avoid if you do not fit one of the descriptions above. To make my point, the room we were initially allocated was freezing cold due to a window that had been left open in an attempt to remove an overpowering stench of vomit. Thankfully, we were able to move to a room left empty by two of our party who had decided to cut their losses and seek board elsewhere having only got as far as seeing the other guests stood in the foyer. 
You will not sleep well unless equipped with earplugs as there is a constant stream of revellers returning from the city that starts at about 3am. Although the hotel does not tolerate parties or excessive noise from individuals, continual post nightclub drunken chatter, footsteps and door slamming is enough to prevent a good night's kip without any individual having been "excessive".
The toilets and showers are cubicles dotted along the corridor and are "self-cleaning" However, they were  anything but clean by the time I had a shower at 7.30pm. It also means that the toilet seat and toilet floor will be wet when you step in. This is of no real consequence but is a little off-putting if you're not expecting it. You'll also need to dry the seat yourself.
Though the rooms will set you back little more than twenty quid and can fit three (depending on how open-minded you are), I have not scored this hotel highly on value as you will need to spend £12-15 on a taxi to get into town and you could possibly get a better night's sleep for less money kippng in your car.
In short, this hotel provides bunk-beds in basic rooms  at rock bottom prices, with communal toiletting facilities which are not manually cleaned as a matter of due course, and does not have a policy restricting large hen and stag groups from using the hotel. This means that  it will always attract a sufficient number of guests who have no regard for the establishment or other guests, that many other guests will be left unsatisfied. Unfortunately for the hotel, these latter guests are probably more likely to leave feedback on sites such as this. Hence the balance towards negative remarks. However, this place clearly serves a purpose - just not one that I will be calling on again.
