Clean and large room. Good size bathroom and kitchenette. Although overlooking pubs beer garden, we couldn’t hear the crowd. Great location. Pub below has great craft beer selections. We’ll be back.

Short stay in downtown Newcastle.

This is a lovely little hotel in the midst of downtown Newcastle. We were staying here because of my sister’s 50th birthday party. Great location, clean and comfortable and very friendly staff.

Perfect location, clean property/refurbished, great value if your going for a night out in Newcastle as long as you don't plan on getting into bed until about 1am as there is live music etc downstairs which we enjoyed during pre-dinner drinks on our balcony there.......I would definitely stay again if I was having a night out in Newcastle. If you did want a quieter room then request to be on the street side of the hotel away from the back of the building where music is playing.
