“Tiger Tiger”

We arrived early from a long distance and they accommodated us immediately. Staff were very friendly but not over powering. The breakfast lived up to expectations and was good value for money and we would go back to this hotel again when visiting Newcastle.

“VERY GOOD VALUE”

Excellent value hotel. Lovely new room with big LCD TV. Great breakfast. Helpful staff. 100% recommend. Try to book rooms 1-3 if possible as new. About 20min walk from Newcastle central or 5 mins walk from Gateshead Metro, which is 2 stops from Newcastle Centre

“Exactly what i paid for and expected.”

I was running the Great North Run and i booked this hotel as it was one of the few places with rooms available.I read the negative reviews on Tripadvisor and was expecting the worst.The place more than met my expectations.You get what you pay for.I got a clean room and bathroom,a comfy bed and a good breakfast.I would have been unhappy if i was paying 5 star prices, but for what i paid it was good value.I have travelled the world and stayed in 5 star hotels and the most dingy places imaginable.The Bewick more than met my expectations.The place didn't smell as was mentioned in some of the reviews.The welcome was a typical friendly northern one so people expecting a gushing american style welcome will be disappointed.

“happy chappy”

very convenient -comfortable-excellent breakfast

“Would not book this hotel again.”

We stayed 13th &14th July 2011. Both days were really hot. We had 2 rooms booked and when we arrived we were allocated the 2 uppermost rooms in the hotel. The windows were closed tight and the heat was suffocating. One room was quite spacious with a good size bathroom and 2 windows which when opened allowed some air to flow through the room. The other room, although the same price, was very small with a bathroom which looked like a converted wardrobe and only 1 window which allowed virtually no air into the room. After a sleepless night in the small room (because of the suffocating heat) we asked to be mooved. To be fair the lady moved us to a large family room with a good bathroom. The toilet in the new room had urine stains on the top of the bowl. None of the rooms had either a wardrobe or a dressing table. Basically there was nowhere in the rooms to set any of your belongings. There were flat screen televisions on the walls in all 3 rooms but the wiring to these was rough to say the least. The wires were just dangling from the TVs to the floor and from the ceiling to the TVs. In the small room the remote for the TV didn't work (wrong Remote). Maintenance was poor. None of the shaving lights worked and in 2 out of 3 rooms there was no soap in the dispensers. The cooked breakfast was very good but there was a plate of strawberrys the first morning that should have been put in the bin a couple of days before. I definitely would not book this hotel again.
