Newcastle Jesmond Hotel

Change of owner not communicated prior to stay, nor how to check in. I had to phone several numbers to find this out.Room very small, we never saw any other guests (were we tho only ones). Coffee and tea provided but no milk and no refresh of supplies during our stay. No housekeeping. Tiny room, basic bathroom. On the plus side when I did get through to the number full details on check in were provided and the 2 staff members who were there that day were helpful.

Booked and paid for breakfast. No food available all closed down looks like a derelict building. No staff. Keyless entry good. But oh my god how many texts and duplicate emails from the owners about getting in. Checking out and give us a review. No staying again.

Nothing wrong with the room however i had to pay an additional mandatory charge of £12.50 for an non refundable damage waver prior to check in which I was not made aware of prior to booking. Most hotels I have been too put a charge agaist your card which is refunded on check out but not this hotel. This additional charge needs to be reflected in the price when booking

Awful, firstly i couldn't get into my room and there is no reception you are sent codes to enter, it didn't work, it took over an hour before someone responded to my messages and answered the phone. It was then dealt with promptly and i was moved to another room. In my room there was a dirty towel hanging in the bathroom, the toilet couldn't fill it was running all night, very annoying and then my kettle didnt work.

We booked this hotel for gnr, the location is brilliant, buses run past front of hotel, 5 min walk to metro, plenty of shops and bars close by ,city centre close by, 15 min walk. limited parking on site if available.the coded entries are good, never saw a staff member, all pleasantly decorated throughout, our room was on 4th floor, nice and cosy, well equiped with iron and board, hairdryer, tv. Kettle with tea and coffee.Even complimentary toiletries. Bathroom was a wet room, plug hole was full of clumps of hair and toilet seat lid was broken at hinges. And the tv got no reception.
