What guests think

At Ramada Encore Newcastle-Gateshead, travellers praise the friendly, helpful staff, decent-value rooms and handy quayside location, while recurring drawbacks include lack of air conditioning causing warm stays, some street or corridor noise, and occasional maintenance or housekeeping lapses.

Rooms are generally comfortable but can feel basic or dated, with sofa beds and lighting often criticized, and some bathrooms prone to poor drainage. Location suits events at the Glasshouse and quayside walks; parking is available for a fee and can be on rough ground or busy, and several reviews noted loitering and smoking outside that felt uncomfortable at times. Breakfast is commonly rated good and the bar area is popular, though selection and replenishment can be patchy and dinners average. Expect a budget-friendly base with warm service and simple comforts.

Good location near the Gateshead Quayside with ample secure parking. Hotel fixtures and fittings are a little tired but clean and fully functional. NB Access across the Tyne bridge is limited due to refurb, so you may want to use the swing bridge and check your SatNav

Stayed here one night to attend a concert at the Arena in Newcastle . I had booked it quite well in advance and was a bit dubious about some of the reviews . I can honestly say we had an enjoyable stay . Hotel was spotless , staff were friendly , the room was on the 3rd floor , had everything we needed , iron , hairdryer and coffee & tea making facilities . Parking was ample and at £10 a night good value compared to over the river . I would definitely recommend.

As always, a great hotel with big extremely clean rooms, a fantastic bar area and excellent staff. It’s my favourite hotel in Newcastle/Gateshead. One morning, I had to ask the cleaning ladies to keep their voices down as they were talking very loudly. However, they were very polite, apologised, and made a real effort to be quiet while cleaning the rooms next to mine. Thank you!

Overall fine. The only downside was £10 per night parking on a rough area as main parking was full. Was also called by phone whilst out enjoying to move my car to accommodate coaches, this spoilt our first night. The hotel should review the parking issue giving priority to paying guests, not staff, and mark an area for coach parking.

Stayed for 1 night chose the hotel for the location and car park which were both good. It is around a 10/15 minute walk to the centre of Newcastle but that is uphill. Check in/out was easy staff were polite friendly. Room was clean a good size. Would stay here again.

Spent a two night stay here, arriving late and only just managing to squeeze into the car park. Parking is a bit steep at £8 per night, especially when half the carpark is unpaved rough ground, and when all the paperwork completed at reception states that parking is £5 per night. The welcome from staff was friendly however, and check in was a delight. My room was perfectly comfortable but the decor was somewhat past its best. For some reason I'd been given a room designed for the accessibility of wheelchair users. This was fine except it meant the bathroom sink was very low and I'm quite tall and with a bad back, so not ideal. The breakfast was good but somewhat limited for the price - mushrooms and scrambled eggs would have been my choice but alas, there were neither. I tried the room service one night - the cajun chicken burger was tasty but the sour cream and salsa which should have been oozing out of the sides, were nought but a smear, which meant it was disappointingly dry. Chef could have been a bit more generous there. Overall, a comfortable stay. Four out of five.

Lovely welcoming service at reception and bar / restaurant area. Room is large and comfortable if dated and dusty. Bathroom and bedding clean but dust on things like remote control, drinks tray etc. Good decent for a hotel bar but bar area absolutely chaos with people who seem to have no social skills - people having loud conversations on speakerphone, screaming kids, drunk adults and possibly the rudest, noisiest tour group I've ever encountered. On the whole though good value for money.

Hotel is convenient, 5-7 min walk to all dining options by the river, but hotel itself are very basic rooms are on the smaller side and there is no AC and windows only open like a small slit which does not even ventilate the room properly, and on warmer days it is even worse, the hotel thankfully provided a small fan which helped a little

Bed was comfy. Shower was adequate. Buffet breakfast as with every one, is quite hit n miss, as you need to get there went the fresh stuff is brought out. One incident left a very sour taste in the mouth. On our 2nd night we ordered food via just eat. We were sat in the bar watching the front door. Just eat delivery arrived , and we received confirmation via just eat, it had arrived. The night security chap refused to give us our food. We asked polietly, what he had ordered, as we had been sat in the bar and saw the delivery arrive. A reception member of staff came over, and asked where the food had been ordeed from , to clear up any misunderstanding. No response from the chap. Both myself and the receptionist rang our take away and said, it had been dropped off in the hotel.We walked away, went back up to our room and ordered again via another establishment. This was delivered outside the hotel on my instruction. On walking back through the hotel i noticed a further 2 x takeaways behing security chap.....coincidence??

Lovely staff and a nice room, the bed wasn’t too comfortable but it was all very clean. The only issue we had was receiving a phone call through the room phone at 00:30 on our second night, which woke us both from a deep sleep but cut out before we could answer (presumably the staff member realised they had misdialled). It may have been accidental but is the reason for awarding 4 stars.

I booked this hotel as way cheaper than any other in newcastle for a saturday night. Paid approx £55 for room which is very cheap for newcastle. It actually on gateshead side of quay but a only a few minute walk down to foot bridge and your over in to newcastle. Be warned its a big steep bank up to central newcastle . Loads everywhere in newcastle pubs restaurants and history. Hotel is really good clean, smart and room wes great even had a iron and board which is great for a budget hotel. Never ate or drank in hotel so cant comment on those but if your looking for a cheap n cheerful hotel close enough to everything tgen i suggest the ramada.

A lovely overnight stay at Gateshead. Clean spacious room with a very large (King) bed.
