Built in the 1850s, this hotel is an excellent choice for enthusiasts of the Victorian era. I stayed in a standard room, which, while lacking any particularly special features, was perfectly functional and well-maintained. The receptionist at check-in was exceptionally welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The English breakfast buffet in the morning was superb, offering a delightful selection of traditional fare. However, the options for those preferring a continental breakfast were somewhat limited. The leisure and spa facilities are truly impressive. In addition to a well-equipped gym, guests can enjoy a small yet inviting swimming pool, a dry sauna, and a steam room. Overall, a well-deserved 4 out of 5 stars.

Lovely stay overall. I booked a single room but got upgraded to a double one. The room is dated but had everything you need plus a bathtub which was amazing after a working day! Newcastle sightseeing spots are in walking distance there is a 10 mins walk to a shopping centre. Amazing if you’re travelling by train as the train station is juts next door. There is no noise in the room at all though. Highly recommending!

Very noisy, doors repeatedly slamming at midnight and noisy guests until 3am. It’s a convenient location but there are lots of hotels within 5 minutes walk. I canceled my second night and booked into the Copthorne.

A once Grand hotel, now very run down. Times may be tough but at least they could replce all the lightbulbs. You get the impression Management is just plain mean, and the staff struggle on the resources they are given. They also havent had a decent designed in the place for generations. Could be so much better without drastic expenditure

Pay on arrival - not!

Due to the nature of my work I occasionally need to cancel or change dates so select a cancellable room with pay on arrival. The hotel placed a charge on my credit card some six hours before the cancellation deadline which is not acceptable for a pay on arrival arrangement. As it happened I was able to use the room as booked but wouldn’t have trusted an establishment that does this to reimburse should I have cancelled before the deadline.

Four of us stayed here for the night, for a girly weekend. Loved that we could all stay in one room together & that it was right next to the train station, in walking distance of everything we needed. Breakfast was really nice, lots of choice. Would stay here again.

Perfect for a nights stay

It was perfect for our needs. Our initial ro was too hot, not worries and we were moved. Massive hotel but feels small and friendly, would definitely recommend.

Disappointing experience !

Unfortunately 1st room unsuitable, but got it changed for a room suitable for our 84yr old mum, 1 lift working which obviously staff also had to use, so full constantly! And after us have a fab evening at Strictly coming back to a boring hotel with bar closed at 10.50 ! So unfortunately not the hotel for us !
