Lumley Castle Hotel

8/10 Good
"The place and location were great and the staff were very helpful. Breakfast was really nice and cooked to order so freshly cooked. Bar staff were very attentive and friendly. Only down side was that our room was a bit damp, almost certainly as a result of the shower seal leaking, which is an easy fix, but had obviously been like it for quire some time, so room smelt musty. So general maintenance needs to be improved in my opinion."

Grand Hotel Gosforth Park

Grand Hotel Gosforth Park

8/10 Good
"Room and hotel dated but clean. Pillows (one each) extremely hard and uncomfortable. Mattress hard but ok. Didn't get round to using pool or spa facilities, which do cost extra. Staff friendly and helpful. Booked room only so can't comment on breakfast, but evening meal was very tasty and good portions. Staff very knowledgeable about allergens. Overall cheap, cheerful and would stay again."

8/10 Good
"We got upgraded to the new wing into a Jr suit, cool right? Except it was up 48 steps with no elevator access. Sure wish we would have been warned about this. No porters, so we schlepped our suitcases up three flights of stairs."

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Newcastle

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Newcastle

8/10 Good
"Good budget option. Small rooms with basic amenities but spotlessly clean. Very comfy bed. More hangers would be better but perhaps you can get these if requested. A lot of noise in the rooms overlooking the street, to be expected due to central location. Reasonable value. Would stay again providing it was reasonable rate."
