"We booked the Copthorne Hotel as we had tickets to see Peter Kay at the Utilita Arena. We decided to turn it into a mini break staying at the hotel for 3 nights. The hotel was only a short walk from the arena and we also walked from the train station, again only a short walk. We had a lovely view of the River Tyne and two swivel chairs positioned in front of the window. It was such a good view that we spent each evening sitting in front of that window with a drink. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, comfy and reasonably clean, with a small fridge that you could stock yourself. There were tea/coffee making bits. We had a meal on the Saturday night at the hotel which was nice and I left my husband at the bar to enjoy the football. The room also had a hair dryer, fan, ironing board and iron. The water pressure was great so the shower was amazing. I would go back to this Hotel if I ever visit Newcastle again. It was just the perfect spot to walk to most destinations that we needed to get to and the room was a great space to relax in. Also if you are a runner take your running gear as it is a great place to enjoy a run along the river."

"Third time we have stayed at this hotel and it’s always a great stay. Friendly staff, spotless rooms and perfect central location Super comfortable beds and to say it’s in the city centre close to some music venues it’s really quiet and minimal road noise. Nice to see separate bins for recycling in the rooms :) We always park at the Train station which is a two minute walk from the hotel and only £15 to park from Friday morning to Monday which is great value"

"Convenient to rail and castle. Homeless people fighting in front-priceless "
