QT Newcastle
Hotel was very quirky and staff were brilliant. The downside was that gym is not actually in hotel but you use one down the street. Also they charge for parking which becomes expensive for longer term stays. Rooftop bar had excellent views over the waterfront.

ibis Newcastle
The venue was convenient, clean and a great location for accessing the city of Newcastle. I did need to use WIFI and, while it was available, it was a free low speed throttled service. I would like to have known in advance that I had to pay extra to access a usable data rate.
