The hotel chain has a decent reputation. The Newcastle location is looking its age and some of the decor, paintwork and general upkeep is looking tired. The biggest issue in this day and age is no air conditioning. We stayed at the hottest weekend of the year and it was unbearable. The corridors to the rooms are lovely and chilled but the rooms were roasting. As i said, the place needs a refurb and updating. Other than that, staff are lovely and the location is by the Tyne which is idyllic.

A reasonable hotel on the quayside of Newcastle.This was once one of the premier hotels, but sadly appears to be in need of a slight refurbishment. The rooms are of a large size however but seem to be in a slight need of a refurb as some of the woodwork, and tea point areas are dated along with the bathrooms. The beds are good and the views on the evenings out of the patio doors are lovely in good weather. So in summary an fairly dated but ok hotel on the Quayside.
