A one night stay for catching up with family. Short walk from Newcastle Interchange. Very friendly and helpful staff at Reception. Breakfast buffet was not extensive but there were enough options of fruit and yoghurt, cereals, hot food, pastries and gluten free bread and corn flakes on request. Walking distance to many restaurants for dinner options. 24 hour reception is great as is the bar for a drink at any time. Would stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay at Holiday Inn Newcastle. The staff were very helpful, and we loved the added bonus of free buffet breakfast which was delicious with good variety. The hotel is close to a light rail stop making it easy to leave the car in the car park and travel up town.
