My wife went after one night's stay from the Campanile straight to Redworth Manor (Barcelo) a few miles away for our daughter's wedding reception. We had a fabulous reception, but paid three times as much, for which we got large grounds we could walk in, a gym, a pool and a fancy, attractive building, but very expensive food and very slow service.
My input on this Campanile is that if you want somewhere comfortable to rest your head for the night with kettle, drinks and TV in your room, and have a first rate breakfast (far better than the posh place), which was clean, had helpful staff, but didn't have the finery of oak beams and sweeping staircases, then I personally would go here every time.
It really depends on what you want.
Incidentally, we were kept up until 2.00 in the morning at Redwood Manor by party revellers, so you will get this anywhere.
Plus, the Wi-Fi was free here - charged at Barcelo

We booked two days and extended our stay to four days because we slept so well and the rooms were so quiet. We also had our small dog with us and he hears little noises in the night and gets upset --However, these rooms are each set down their own little hallway past the bathrooms and then the bedroom is seperated by another door. So entry door --->hallway-->bedroom door = very quiet indeed. We all slept well.
The beds were fine and no complaints there. There is a place outside the reception area where you can walk your dog. Also, you are located in a quiet estate where you can also take walkies. For distance, take the long estate walkway on the verge towards the industrial estate. We left dog in the car, while we took breakfast and dinners in the Campanile Restaurant. Was nice after sightseeing all day. Nearby amenities: Newcastle, beaches and Souter Lighthouse. You can't beat the value and price of the rooms: only 47.00 ! Highlights: Free Parking, Dogs Allowed, Restaurant on premises, WIFI

Stayed here for 3 nights for business primarily because I really struggled to find anywhere closer to Chester Le Street where I wanted to be and that was within budget.
It's fine accommodation wise although perhaps a little overpriced at £51.95 for room only.
It has its own restaurant which I didn't use, there are other limited options in the local area, the Toby Carvery and Chevys Sports Bar.
The staff were all very helpful.
The room could have done with another socket to allow phone charging and laptop use at the same time as having the TV on in the background, everything else in the room is hardwired. Check laterooms.com for deals at the last minute, thats the main reason I chose this particular hotel as well as the one cheaper night brought down the overall cost.

This place is long overdue for refurbishment. Although it has "no smoking" notices everywhere, it has that musty smell that comes from old cigarette fumes. The room carpet was stained, thin and sticky and the decor was dated and unattractive. Curiously, the shaver electricity point is very close to the wc pan - I wonder whose idea that was.

On the plus side, the bedroom and bathroom were a good size and reasonably furnished and equipped for a short stay in a hotel of this class but it really does need some money spent on it.
