"A clean and comfortable hotel in a prime place to explore Newcastle, Gateshead and surrounding areas. It’s in need of a little TLC - chipped enamel in the bath, peeling paint in the bathroom, bulb not working in the bedroom. Yes you have to pay to park overnight but there is no guarantee you will get a parking place and we had to park in a public car park 10 minutes walk away for two out of our 3 nights. Breakfasts were good and we had one evening meal which was fine but heard another guest saying she had to return her food three times as it was a reheat and it was still cold."
