The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, can’t do enough for you in fact. The hotel is convenient for buses the train station and walking to the city centre. Rooms are on the smallish side but good value and the bedding and towels almost sparkle they are so white. The complimentary breakfast is not the best breakfast you’re ever going to have but is fresh and plentiful. Overall a great place to stay, made amazing by its staff.

Excellent base in Newcastle city centre.
Very friendly staff. Room was compact but very nice. I did find the ac a little confusing and would have liked more light in the room and an outlet for charging on both sides of the bed, but minor quibbles.
