Maldron Hotel Newcastle
Spotless room, friendly, helpful staff. I loved the thoughtful touch of the birthday wishes hand written on the mirror, the birthday sweet treats and card waiting for us in the room. Can't fault the location either!

County Hotel & County Aparthotel Newcastle
Staff great, room clean & well equipped. Room very cramped no room for suitcase had to empty wardrobe of equipment in order to hang clothes. Bathroom again small and cold. OK for overnight with a soft a bag. Feel sorry to give mediocre score as pleasant but would not use again

Excellent price, perfect location with the train station about 2 mins away. Luggage storage was handled easily and staff were great. Generally we found it to be ideal for a family of four. Negative: Breakfast seemed pricey bit theres ample other options locally
