Disappointed
Staff and location
Cleanliness, dust, mould, holes in ceiling, stains and hairs in beds, no hot water in bathroom sink, plug socket fell out of wall, cold - heating not sufficient, bins had rubbish in.
Was probably once a night room and hotel buts seemed a bit rundown.

Worst Hotel Ever !
Northing
Worst place I have ever stayed in and I stay in a lot of Hotels for work. The window had no window as it had been smashed and just had a very thin bit of plastic stuck on it insted. Letting all the cold and noise in from a very busy main road .
The walls of the hotel are paper thin. The bed had a strange dip in the middle and gave me a bad back.
Shared facilties were very load all night into the early hours.
Contanlty woken up by other guests
Huge party of guests coming back in the middle if the night woke us up from 3 until 5am partying . I complained and reception said there is nothing they can do .
Guests running around the hotel shouting and playing knock and run in the middle of the night.
I stayed 2 nights and both were a nightmare. Another its cheap it is Not Worth it ! Wost Hotel is have been in my life.

Basic place for a mostly fair price
Fair price for what you get. Pretty comfy, nothing fancy or exquisite about it.
It’s fine

A perfectly adequate place, excellent money for value. Don’t bring your girlfriend here is she’s bougie.
Good location, easy to get to the city center
No ledge to put your soap because the showerhead holder part was broken so you have to rest the head on the soapdish.

Good value for money.
Budget hotel, clean and comfortable with a good carpark too. You get what you pay for, and it was perfect for our needs. Friendly staff too.

While the stay was fine the experience was awful
It was a nice location overlooking the whole city
They received the parking fee from me but they didn’t put it through to the parking management system. When I got back home I got 3 parking charges for 60 GBP for that night. And then I spent hours to talk to them about what they should have done so I don’t get a ticket but they don’t do anything. I’m furious. I wish I had never stayed there that night

The stay was pleasant for the cost that was paid and the star level, good public transport links
The reception was a good size, and the staff were friendly. The breakfast was good, and the lady who cooked was friendly and chatty.
The location was good and not too far from the Metro station, around a 10-15 minute walk, and a few buses pass by. Good public transport.
The temperature was either cold or really warm in communal areas, really warm in the en-suite, and chilly in the bedroom, so I tried to turn the dial to get some heat from the radiator.
The wall cupboards next to the bed block the view of the TV, so I had to move the TV in order to see it. The walls were thin and you could hear noise and movement of other guests, as well as my room being next to the main road, so I could hear traffic all the time. The shower needs to have a bigger glass panel, as water didn't stay in the shower base and went onto the main floor. The toilet didn't flush properly, as it would look a dark yellow not long after it was flushed and then smelled.

Will be avoiding in future
It’s close to centre
Outdated bathroom, when you sat on toilet it was loose from wall, sink was also same, floor tiles in shower were jagged and dangerous, tv did not work, main light kept going on and off.

Great little hotel, staff very friendly
Staff were fantastic, could not have been more accommodating, polite and friendly
The breakfast only had whole milk where most places have semi skimmed, we were given no menu or choice of hot breakfast it was full English, like it or no, maybe we should have asked but we will know better next time

Poor hotel
Location is the best thing about this hotel 20 minute walk from the utilita arena nothing else.
Where to start hotel had a smell like the carpets hadn't been cleaned in some time, room had a hole in the wall ceiling tiles missing shower and toile lt smelt beds weren't comfortable at all. Breakfast was additional £7 dining area had ceiling missing and signs of water damage breakfast didnt have real bacon and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in sometime. Noise through the night was horrific people screaming consistently.

Brilliant budget stay
Room was modern, clean and nice. Bathroom was very big and nice.
Only real downside was the door wouldnt lock at first it took some opening and closing to get it to work.
A shower matt should have been included.

Staff were helpful and room was tidy, pity about the broken window.
Staff were friendly and tried their best to help where they could.
When we got to our room, there was a mission window that had been covered my cardboard.
Needless to say this made the room not just cold but noisy. It was hard to sleep and this never exactly made us feel safe with being on the Ground floor.

Bathroom filthy ..

Dreadful
Location
Bathroom wasn’t great. Toilet seat was loose and held on by one hinge. The bathroom door didn’t lock or even shut into its frame so my daughters had very little privacy. Bathroom wasn’t clean and neither was the room They didn’t send in maid to make the beds or replace used towels during our stay. I had to ask for replacement towels. Breakfast was meant to be between 7 and 9 and when we arrived for breakfast at 8 they said the lady who does the cooking had gone home?! Not impressed at all
4.0 / 10.0
lots of issues to be aware of
location and price
no lift. multiple stairs to rooms. would not suit anyone with mobility issues. The rooms were in desperate need of a refit with lots of issues. shower head rail hanging off. tv not working that well, but more importantly, the tv surround was loose it could be pulled away from the screen itself, exposing the inside circuit boards of the tv (very dangerous). only 1 towel between two people.
breakfast was ok and the cook was very pleasant and chatty. in fact all the staff were fine. it just needs a total refit . the curtains in the dining room were hanging down and broken
the toilet was too small in the room and moved around when you sat on it, as did the one near the dining room.
no shelves in the bathroom for toiletries, and the shower doors seals were hanging off, so water went everywhere. we had room 3 down 3 flights of stairs which was next to the main road so the traffic woke us up a few times.
my partner suffers from a back and hip.issue so we had to use the fire exit to leave the premises or struggle up the stairs.
would i go back,no the.only positive thing was it was cheap at 106.00 for 2 nights. if you want somewhere just to sleep, it passes barely. any more, and it doesn't.

Not the best experience
Greeted nicely by staff on arrival. Bed was pretty comfy and linen was clean. Possible to walk to the city centre or the metro.
The room smelt of cigarette smoke, enough that they had to spray it on arrival. By the time we returned from an evening meal out it was horrible again. The windows weren't lockable - one wouldn't close. They looked out onto a ground level and, on the first night, we had to listen to a drunk outside the window on the phone to his friend. The room was fairly run down and access to the gas room was via the ensuite and had been sellotaped off. By the second night there was no hot water left and the shower was cold. Had we not been out all day we would have checked out earlier. I've solo-travelled a lot before without issue but I don't think I would have felt safe staying here alone

Great location, but you’ll be too tired to utilise it
Great location. That’s about it:
The place is filthy.
When I entered the room it appeared as though it had never been hoovered. Upon looking, it hadn’t been. Muck; wrappers and all sorts under the bed. I kept my socks on the whole time. Minging.
The other guests. How noisy can they be? Pretty much all foreign, slamming doors, parading like elephants and constantly shouting at each other. If you want a good night’s sleep, don’t book here.
Also…. Only when you get to the property do they tell you the parking is chargeable.

Budget hotel but does not meet basic standards
Good budget option for staying in Gateshead/Newcastle. Friendly staff, 24 hours access and free parking and convenient location for the A1
Room smelled like smoke, showers were unclean, one of the bathrooms didn’t have a working lock, and there were no slip mats in the bathrooms

Overall stay was ok.
The staff here were really friendly the beds were really comfy and clean and the breakfast was good. We stayed here as we had a night out at the utilita arena so was perfect location for that.
The room was ok but didn’t look like the pictures on the website but it was ok for one night but definitely not luxury it was a bit dingy, I don’t think it was worth £115 we paid. The other think that let it down was there were a few dodgy looking people hanging around reception when we got there, I’m glad I didn’t take my daughter as she would have been petrified.

Good location for 20 min walk to town, but won't rebook here.
The reception team and maintenance guy were pleasant.
The bedroom furniture was modern and nice.
Bedding was clean (minimum expectation!)
- all the carpets throughout the property were worn or stained.
- The mattress - I could feel all the springs, it was almost impossible to get comfortable.
- The shower didn't work for 2 days - I had to use one down the corridor.
- The Towel rail was hanging off
- The tea/coffee wasn't refreshed throughout the stay
- Generally shabby hotel despite a lick of paint - just all very low quality

Was Alright…
The staff couldn’t do any more for us, they were so lovely and if we needed anything they sorted it for us! The location was perfect for us.
Breakfast, it wasn’t very nice I’ll be honest, both me and my partner became poorly after eating it and not been right since.

As expected and excellent value for money
Stayed there several times before and knew what to expect.
Excellent value for money, despite being a non en-suite room - but with sink and running water in room.
The shared facilities - shower was pretty poor with poor water volume.

Cheap place to sleep near city but don’t expect luxury
Good location and reasonable price
- needs a deep clean, dirty carpets and bad smells in a few places
- could do with more towels, a bath mat and some decent toiletries
- poor quality/broken/old fixtures and fittings - think was some sort of care home before and seems like still being used as shelter/temporary accommodation for local residents
