Royal Station Hotel

Royal Station Hotel

8/10 Good
"I enjoyed my stay in Newcastle upon Tyne at the Royal Station Hotel. The entrance area, staircase and chandeliers are very impressive. My room had a comfortable bed so slept well. Breakfast was fine and I enjoyed my evening meal. The hotel is in a very convenient location if arriving by train at the Central Station next door. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. Thank you."
