Our second stay at The Little National in Newcastle and enjoyed it just as much. We took advantage of online check in and checkout (very easy) for our stay, we also used the hotel’s car park. The room was quiet, clean and the most comfy bed! Will definitely stay a third time.

Exceptionally clean, modern accommodation. I was most pleasantly surprised by the library which is an excellent co working space - perfect for business travel. There are plenty of dining options within safe walking distance and the staff were really helpful. The only downside is the parking. It’s available but it’s expensive.
