Hotel is in a great location for getting into Newcastle. Bus stop right outside where busses run every 5 minutes to take you into the city centre. The hotel itself could do with a touch up in places but I think this is reflected in the price, as it is much cheaper than city centre hotels and other hotels in the local area. I think the hotel represents good value for money all things considered and I would stay there again.

In need of a significant update

Whilst I wasn’t expecting much for the price (£50ish), there are basic expectations for pretty much any hotel, and the only one that was really met was the friendliness of the staff. The size of the room was great but it was very dated, the door locks are also a bit strange as you have to roll the key in the barrel three times and then hold it to get it to unlock. Perhaps mine was just faulty though. The bed sheets weren’t the cleanest, couple of stains from previous use, but did smell clean at least. Considering the hotel is out of the city, the noise levels weren’t great. You can very clearly hear conversations from the rooms next door (which is okay, but not at 3am). The downstairs bar seems like a social hotspot and the staff are great, but that noise definitely carries. Again, fine with that being at a reasonable hour, but that seemed to continue in to the early hours of the morning. Now, the big problem was the bathroom, particularly the shower was disgraceful. Firstly, the hot water would work for about 20 seconds (only scalding hot) and when you turned the temp down it’d get stuck on freezing cold. After that it just stayed cold even when the temp was turned back up. After 3 attempts across half an hour I just gave up and washed in the sink, which did at least have hot water consistently. Even if I did have a shower I didn’t like the fact that the wall was bowing inwards so the tiles had started falling off the wall, not safe or hygienic tbh.

Really enjoyed our stay, such friendly staff, convenient having the pub underneath, gave us a local taxi number which is nice and also checked on our taxi to make sure it was the right one when we were leaving. Rooms clean, beds comfy, everything we needed for short stay. Brilliant shopping centre 1mile away and quick into city centre or Town Moor for events, highly recommend

Appalling hotel

We stayed at this so called hotel for 1 night after a concert in Newcastle and it was truly dreadful. No hot water in the morning, no staff on duty to rectify this, loose fitting light fitting hanging by our bed, no mirror in the bathroom, no plug for the sink basin in the bathroom and no hairdryer for my wife. Having lodged a complaint over a week ago with the OYO head office, I also now have no faith in their business either. AVOID THIS HOTEL AND ANY OTHER HOTEL THAT IS PART OF THE OYO GROUP.
