An historic building but its well maintained. Cleanliness was good, food was good. Easy walk to everywhere in Newcastle (& we're over 70). Love the atmosphere, comfy beds & pillows! Easy booking & friendly staff gave excellent service. Nothing was a problem, everything explained. Only improvement would be better towels. Great memories,thanks!
