5/5 Excellent
"Very pleased with the room at this price. Far more spacious and better equipped than anticipated. Large bath/shower room. Plenty of tea , coffee and milk ( unlike many other places ) . We added breakfast to our stay, which was also really very good. Very polite and super-friendly service in the adjoining bar/cafe. No complaints here whatsoever Next time we’re in Newcastle for a night away , this is where we’ll come . Thank you "

Superb hotel to visit the city or have a night out
"Very nice hotel with a good car park and very convenient city centre location. Amazing breakfast. Beds are good, although bedding is usual for IHG (why not just put normal duvet in a normal duvet cover?!!)"
A verified traveller stayed at Crowne Plaza Newcastle - Stephenson Quarter, an IHG Hotel
"Really lovely hotel. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious, nice to be able to order off the menu. Incredibly central and perfect for the train. However this comes at a price, it’s very noisy. It’s an old building and the windows do not keep the noise out. Take some ear plugs and it’s all good!"

"Simple check in by very friendly and efficient reception staff and we were allowed to check in early. We were even given vouchers for free coffees at any time. Our room was on the top floor overlooking the Newcastle Arena. Our room was spacious and the beds were comfy. The bathroom was roomy and although the shower was an overhead bath type shower, it worked perfectly well. Breakfast the next morning was fantastic and I would highly recommend it. All in all, I would definitely stay here again "
A verified traveller stayed at Leonardo Hotel Newcastle - Formerly Jurys Inn
"Nice, clean comfortable hotel. Easy to access from the A1.
Location is in the middle of a shopping area with several retail parks and a shopping centre.
The only fault I found was the restaurant wasn't open during the week. Food was served in the bar, which is too small to accommodate everyone who wants to eat. It would be very simple to allow people to sit in the restaurant area and bring bar food to them there, rather than be frustrated waiting for a table."
