What guests think

Across reviews of Caledonian Hotel, guests often praise the friendly, helpful staff, convenient Jesmond location near the Metro and bars, and generally good breakfast and bar food, while noting limited parking and occasional late-night noise.

Rooms are generally comfortable and sometimes spacious, but decor and bathrooms can feel tired, and some guests report temperature swings, creaky floors, and plumbing or shower quirks. Cleanliness feedback varies: many find rooms clean, yet several cite dusty areas, stained carpets, or missed housekeeping details. With a couple of on-site EV chargers and an occasionally unavailable lift, expect a good-value stay in a lively area, with some trade-offs in dated features and variable room conditions.

Good points - comfortable room. Poor points - terrible service in the bar (waited 35 mins for fish and chips - apparently there was an issue with the fish). Breakfast was a disaster - staff too happy to talk. Shown to a dirty and un-wiped table. Buffet poor. Coffee setbed cold. Cooked breakfast wasn't bad.. Staff overall are friendly. Check in/out - Reception was friendly but not experienced. At 11pm I returned to the hotel. Bar closed and reception drinks menu out of many drinnks on their list.

Stayed here many times whilst daughter at uni. Nice large room this time with 2 double beds! Although heating wasn't really working so a bit crisp in the room Could hear noise from karaoke in bar and people talking outside but it is Christmas time and it stopped promptly so not much of a problem Love the 2 free EV chargers here always a bonus

Lovely hotel, all the staff we interacted with were very friendly, cheerful and helpful staff during our stay. Metro close by, quite of a few bars, cafes and places to eat. Only thing to note was there isn't a great deal of parking spaces at the back of the hotel but there is one close by if needed.

Good location for my trip, good parking and electric charging points. Rooms are acceptable, however, full of dust. The TV was thick in dust as were lampshade. Room was very hot even with no heating on. Didn’t have a remote for TV and asked twice at reception but didn’t receive one, so couldn’t use it. Probably a 3star stay at best

Well to start, I have mobility problems i have had 1 knee replaced and waiting on the other 1 and my hip getting replaced so when we were told our room was on the 2nd floor and the lift was broken didnt help. We asked to be moved to another room which was on ground floor which they did. The rooms are not that clean, carpets were dirty looked like they hadnt been cleaned in a while. Round the bathroom floor was all grime, radiators are very old and yellow curtains dirty and window sills dirty, see pics. Dining room isnt the tidyest could deffo do with a lick of paint. Breakfast, plates were cold, tea was freezing buffet breakfast cold and nit very nice at all. I was so disappointed as this was a gift i had bought for myself and my daughter for Christmas. A bit of mother & daughter time and it was a total let down. We would not recommend this hotel at all.

Very friendly hotel. Lovely comfy bed, heaps of pillows (mix of soft and firm). Some areas of hotel seemed a little tired (carpets, walls), but the room was superb - spacious, clean, comfy, complementary tea, coffee, water, biscuits and crisps. Bathrobes and slippers - lovely hot and powerful shower. Free election charging points. Lovely buffet breakfast. Nice touches such as pc with printer in lobby. Cheerful and friendly staff. Will definitely come again!!

On arrival, our room was very cold. The heating only comes on at 5pm, even in December! The hotel lobby is bright and warm. This is very much a Student bar. Behind scenes the rooms are a terrible. Old cobwebs high up, the curtains don’t fit the windows, too short to keep out drafts and not wide enough. Stains everywhere, these bedrooms are a sorry state and in need of a revamp. Food service was very slow despite only our selves in the restaurant, over half an hr , to make tea toast and lightly poach an egg! There was no hot water in the shower, was to it takes 5/10 mins to heat up. I honestly couldn’t recommend this hotel.

The room was very nice and comfortable. The bathroom was clean but there were problems with the shower. The fixed head only produced cold water while the portable shower was difficult to control, both for temperature and practicality as it would not stay in place, causing the water to spray around the room. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty. Tea and coffee were table served which caused delays or was lukewarm when required. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

We were really hopeful based on the positive reviews, the location of the hotel was really good and free parking was helpful. The hotel rooms are dated but clean; the bathroom was very dated, rusty radiators, holes in the ceiling and moldy window. The room was incredibly hot, the thermostat on the radiator didn’t work and when we opened the windows the slightest breeze rattled the bedroom door which kept us up the majority of the night. The family room has two queen beds, fine for little ones but the duvet was nothing more than a single in a double cover. Thankfully the room was so hot a duvet wasn’t needed. On no sleep and desperate for fresh air we left early in the morning.

Large hotel, quite eccentric and a little outdated. Our room was at the front of the hotel facing the strip where there were other hotels and restaurants. The room was large with two queen size comfortable beds. There is no thermostat in the room so was unable to change the temperature. With the room being front facing there were lots of noise from crowds of people continuos throughout the night until the early hours. There were constant creaking of the floor boards outside the room with other quests waking up and down the corridors and constant slamming of doors. Breakfast was really nice with a selection of continental and standard English breakfast self serve. Overall I wouldn’t recommend family staying her only due to the noise levels and location.

Specifically chose this hotel as it's one of few with car parking spaces. However there's not enough spaces for the amount of guests, and I didn't get one. The hotel itself was very good value for money. Good large room, large bed and large bathroom. Breakfast was your usual standard buffet. However we did have an evening meal and that was delicious. Highly recommend. Staff all pleasant and helpful also.

Having stayed here before we decided to book again. Hotel is easy to find with free car parking at the rear and Jesmond is a great area with bars, restaurants and cafes and only a short hop on the metro into Newcastle. Hotel reception and bar area clean and welcoming. Twin room was ok apart from leaking shower, which meant water covered bathroom floor after showering and had to use towel soak it up. Breakfast ok but staff should monitor the food more, as some hot food ran out and was then waiting 15 mins for more to be cooked and brought out. Would I stay again - yes - but the hotel just need to ensure the room facilities and basics are done well.
