Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a mixed bag with comfortable rooms and helpful staff but slightly disappointing dining options. The location is superb for travelers looking to be close to the train station and city center.
The hotel shines with fabulous beds that ensure a good night's sleep and newly renovated rooms that are impressively clean. The modern bathrooms are excellent, but some minor issues may arise with the slow toaster in the dining area. The service is top-notch with lovely receptionists and doormen going above and beyond to assist guests.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room had great views over the town, but the extra charge for a pillow in a small double bedroom wasn't ideal. The service was a bit lacking, especially the unhelpful manner of the manager at the reception desk. The location directly opposite Newcastle train station was convenient, but the dining options, like tasteless watery scrambled eggs at the Hudson and a slow toaster, left me craving a better meal.
The hotel was perfectly situated right across from the train station, making it convenient for transportation. The rooms were well-equipped with heating, a nicely stocked mini bar, and lovely coffee. The service was mixed, with unhelpful comments from some staff but friendly assistance from the porter. The dining included tea but was marred by a slow toaster. The location was brilliant for its proximity to bars and restaurants. The facilities were great overall.
The hotel offers rooms with lovely views over the town and delicious coffee, but lacks air conditioning or any air flow. The staff provides personal service but might be a bit unhelpful at times.

Overall, a mixed but convenient stay.
