We expected a pretty basic hotel which this was. However its clearly advertised as offering Breakfast - We were told on arrival that this was not available (we did find the empty breakfast room - so i guess not enough guests were staying to make breakfast viable?) Our room was a single with a double bed crammed against one wall so getting in and out was not ideal. Overall run down and in need of some TLC

Polite and friendly staff, unfortunately they don't serve food but we're happy for me to order in from some of the many restaurants located on the same road. Clean room with en suite shower and toilet. Very good value for the money.

I was very happy staying at The Grainger Hotel again. Incidentally i have stayed at The Grainger Hotel on numerous occasions. If i need to be in Newcastle not far from Town i always choose The Grainger Hotel as i know it makes perfect sense to do so. The single room with en-suite was immaculate & well presented. The bed was very comfortable & i slept well. The amenities provided at the Grainger Hotel are very good in my view. The Grainger Hotel provides me with great value for my money & is a fantastic Hotel in my view. I have NEVER had a problem whilst staying at The Grainger Hotel to date thankfully. Finally i will certainly stay at The Grainger Hotel again & i shall be recommending The Grainger to all & sundry afterall.

I enjoyed my two night stay at The Grainger Hotel. The room i stayed in with en-suite was immaculate & well presented. Incidentally i have stayed in this particular room previously & was very happy upon learning i was staying in the same room again. I found peace in this room previously, i was able to relax & unsurprisingly i slept very well. The amenities provided at The Grainger Hotel are very good & satisfy me. The staff are both friendly & helpful at The Grainger Hotel. Furthermore i have NEVER had one single problem when i have stayed at The Grainger Hotel to date which is very pleasing upon reflection. Finally & in conclusion The Grainger Hotel is a great Hotel that offers guests exceptional value for their money. I will definitely stay at The Grainger Hotel in the future & i shall certainly recommend The Grainger Hotel to all & sundry afterall.

The room where I lodged was dirty, smelly and mouldy. The tap in the bathroom were not working. The room was freezing and the staff could do nothing to help. I couldn’t even have a bath because I was scared of germ. I managed to survive the one night I spent there. Can’t recommend them.
