One reason we book was for the pool and it was closed. Also, you had to pay a fee to use the pool. Parking was convenient. The rooms needed new carpeting - very stained and needed a better cleaning. Staff were great.

Well located, Disappointing bedding.

A well located historical hotel. Unfortunately rooms were too hot and the mattress and pillows too firm. With a heavy duvet and no top sheet I had to use an airplane blanket to cover myself while sleeping without overheating. A fan was provided but the bedding was still to warm for the hot room.

Pool charge

We have been coming to Newcastle for over 30 years. Ive stayed at a few hotels but opt for this due to swimming pool. Disappointed a surcharge in place now. Pool was closed last day and i went to City Baths. No apology and staff at pool not very helpful about closure time. Lack of toiletries and bath towels in bathroom also poor . No complimatary water. Next stay will be in a hotel near City Baths. Crown plaza didn't charge in March. Disappointed.

Olde world charm needs a bit of jazzing up

Comfortable and compact. Cleanliness was average as the hotel was a bit tired and really would benefit from a refresh. But the staff were on the ball and tried their best to welcome their guests even if the hard product was a little tatty.
