Although the hotel is looking "tired", e.g. light fittings hanging off in the bathroom, I felt safe. Just wanted somewhere to sleep for 1 night, therefore ideal

Such a shame as this could be a lovely hotel

This place is really run down. The member of staff there is very friendly but clearly out of his depth keeping on top of the place. I saw a review from March complaining about stains on the wall, broken toilet roll holder, stains on the ceiling and a loose toilet seat. I clearly had the same room with the same issues. There was a filthy spare duvet in the cupboard, the sheets had burn marks on them, the curtains were disgusting and the nets had a hole burned into them. The whole room stunk of cigarettes. Such a shame that the bar and restaurant were closed down and that the place had been poorly maintained as it could be great. That said, it's cheap, well located and the bed was comfortable.

45 minutes after a resident let us in reception still didn’t answer their phone. Absolutely shocked how run down the place was and I’ve been working away for 14 + years, never came across anything as bad. OYO, wouldn’t answer their phone either

Insanely comfortable bed, not for the squeamish!

Really difficult to review, at first view it is 0/5, it looked closed, no one answered the door, the car park was untidy, the surroundings were scruffy - but ......... the room was interesting nautical theme, cabin beds, some type of stuff on the side of the cabin bed (not sure what it was). But the room was warm, the beds were insanely comfortable, and there was wifi and a TV in the room. Some of the fixtures and fittings would shame the 70's, and badly needs a makeover. But you get what you pay for, and for cheap bed for the night, close to a bus stop that takes you into the heart of Newcastle in 10 minutes you cannot go wrong. So, on balance I would give this 3/5. It is after all a 2 star hotel so I wasn't expecting the Savoy.

The rooms seemed clean enough but there was an overpowering smell of stale smoke. There was a car park at the back of the hotel but as the hotel was situated in an industrial area I drove my family there and collected them in the morning

Isolated location but enjoyable stay.

The hotel is in an isolated place but there is a sister pub/hotel nearby and many buses into town. The Metrocentre is nearby (a disappointment) and the Rowers has funky old fashioned ship-related decor with wooden panels and antiquated-style bathroom furnishings. The only drawback are the doors to each room which need to be pulled hard to close.

I love the hotel, but it's clearly seen better days. On the other hand, it's also seen worse days, and management seems willing to make a go of it. I hope they succeed, as the property has wide staircases, large rooms and a large ensuite bathroom for our room. Location isn't great, but we enjoyed being able to walk to the Metro Centre for many dining options, including Ikea!

Stay here if you want a dirty filthy bathroom

Check in experience terrible, nearly walked away. Bathroom filthy, hairs on floor, used toiletries left on sink and cracked/broken tiles on floor. Cheap and cheerful is fine but didn't expect dirty. No-one around at check out so couldn't leave any comments. Friendly staff when found them eventually, but a dirty bathroom is not what I signed up for.
