Facilities

Pool, spa and gym are popular but small; access often requires booking or waiting, and changing rooms can feel cramped. Parking is next door in a multi-storey and convenient, though spaces or access can be tight, and the gin bar is liked despite occasional slow service.

Lovely room and great shower. A pity that the room was very hot and I had to turn the airconditioning on to cool it down as the was no possibility to open the window. Friendly staff. No possibility to use pool or gym at peak hours as the facilities are a bit small for the size of the hotel

Hotel was in a good location. We did not have robes in our room to use the pool and spa - we had to ask three times for these to be sent up and ended up just using a towel on our first visit to the Spa as we got fed up of waiting. In addition, a plug socket blew up when attempting to charge my phone which, whilst dealt with promptly was an inconvenience. The Spa area was smaller than anticipated, the loungers were too few and they need replacing - there was also a peculiar spell in/around the pool area on one of the visits. The Gin bar was lovely and staff provided great service.

Then it took two calls to get towels and toilet paper sent up. This is a first for me at any hotel I have been to. Second was witnessing staff being shouted at by management. Makes it a bit awkward for guests. But overall a lovely stay

Stayed for 2 nights, the key stopped working after the first night, they couldn’t do anything about it and just told me to ask someone from reception to come and unlock the door if needed The sink in the bathroom was blocked. The carpet wasnt clean, felt like the cleaners just cleaned on surface and not a proper deep clean you would expect.

We had a 2x double bed bedroom (507), travelling as a family with a 14yr boy and 10yr girl who can't/won't share a bed. I asked for extra bedding and was given a single quilt, so improvised a single bed on the floor using the double quilt from one of the beds... I would so much prefer a room with a double and 2x singles but this seems to be impossible to find in many hotels. Good things: The pool was good (although tiny 19 capacity). We went down once when it was a bit busy, but they called us when we were able to go down to the facilities. Location Breakfast (husband and kids loved the waffles) Room size Separate bath and shower Things that could be improved: Shower pressure Bath plug was really stiff so hard to open/empty. Wasn't properly cleaned (fluff in bath, someone else's hair band on the floor behind the door) The nespresso machine had a piece missing so I had to hold the cup in place the whole time. I reported this on the first morning but it was not resolved..

Really disappointed with this place! After reading the reviews I thought this was going to be a great choice for my son and partners anniversary. Getting through to the reservations team after 3 attempts on hold took over an hour and then no one came back to the call. I just wanted to upgrade the room as a treat for them but my son had to do that on arrival. The upgrade was to an unsuitable disabled room and the tv didn't work. The upside was they enjoyed the breakfast and the spa area. I'm still waiting for someone to contact me about the issues but my messages are unresponded to. Staff were uninterested & unhelpful so my son did not complain on checking out.

The hotel is located behind the Newcastle railway station and was walkable with luggage, albeit better to come through the underpass to the right as you leave the station to reduce climbs. The hotel was very nice and notwithstanding we came in on a lunchtime train, they had a room available for immediate checkin. Our room was spacious, including a nice bathroom wit( an excellent shower. Breakfast choices were excellent and we enjoyed our breakfasts. Our only minor negative were the staff behind the bar in the Gin Bar who had to be prompted to get service.

Breakfast service was poor as they had run out of most hot items and bread for toast and it took a while to replenish these. We weren’t offered a menu to choose the vegetarian options that were apparently available so did without

But our drinking water wasn't replenished for our second night. The major downside was breakfast. The breakfast room was too small for peak demand resulting in queues. Food quality was a bit mixed.
