Hotels in Gateshead, Tyne And Wear

“A great value for money here. Our host was very friendly and good at his job. Breakfast included, which was spot on. The rooms were spacious and spotless, which is all you can ask really. The city is accessible mainly by bus or taxi, so just plan your route if you decide to book. As the experience was very welcoming, I'd absolutely book again!”

“Close enough to walk to the city centre but far enough away that its peaceful!Lovely hotel, very clean, room was a good size and staff were friendly.The pool was warm and again very clean. Only downside, the jacuzzi and steam room were not working.Overall Highly recommended.”

“The Good: I booked a room with a view over the river Tyne, which was absolutely beautiful each morning and worth the cost of the hotel on its own! The room was spacious, having two King beds (I only needed one) and a shower over a bath. I LOVE having a bath, as they are not usually available in other hotels which consider themselves more contemporary, but when you are in Newcastle in the winter having a bath available is GREAT! The beds are so comfortable I would put them in my top three around the world! There was a good-sized TV and space for a laptop. Another great thing about this hotel is its placement - you go out and straight onto the path which leads you to the Sage, the Baltic and the Millenium Bridge, via which you can cross over and walk down the riverside with all the bars, restaurants etc or go up into the Toon, which is steep but only takes about 10 minutes. There is also a bus stop near to the hotel in case you want to go by bus to Gateshead centre or the Metrocentre.The Bad: Car parking - it was REALLY expensive, when a hotel like this should allow customers to part for free. Not only did you have to pay 8 pounds a night, but there were hardly any parking spaces and they are very narrow and on an angle, so many people just could not park their cars! The overflow park in the next door Baltic car park - try not to do that - it's about 25 pounds per night, adding 50% to your hotel cost!The Average: The restaurant and the hotel customer service. There were people at the stations, but the bar area is poor and there was, not surprisingly, no one taking advantage of it most of the time. There are a few small tables and chairs to sit on, but the food is very average as well - you are better off going into town or somewhere else. Room service was ok, but I was there for 2 weeks and in that time, there were several days where nothing had been done except the pillows put straight and the rubbish taken out - the bathroom was not cleaned and nor was the carpet.Overall - this hotel is available at a fantastic price and if you want to use it as a base and have a hired car that you can park nearby where there is cheap parking (not at the hotel or the Baltic car parking), I would highly recommend it. The rooms are great and it is pretty quiet. Except for the shouts of people having a good time coming back from the Toon late on, the loudest sound was the seagulls in the morning, which suited me fine. Highly recommended!Noteworthy details: The beds are very comfortable. The hotel is placed wonderfully to see all the nearby sites, like the Millenium Bridge, The Quays, The Baltic, The Sage and the town centre (10 minutes walk uphill).”
