Express Hotel, Express Service.

The room and en-suite were clean. The bed was firm and comfortable and the sheets were clean. The staff are first class and happy to help. Only one personal complaint, the area outside the window is the smoking area and with it being hot, I had to keep the window open which meant the smell of tobacco and weed would fill the room and the loud conversations were annoying. I am although happy to recommend the hotel.

Bad sleep

To avoid abuse on a late night bus I stayed here and didn’t sleep a wink all night . Homeless people were given temporary accommodation and the room I was given was dated and had a funny smell . This hotel is like a can of cheap beans it does what it says on the tin .

Susan

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The staff were all friendly and helpful and there are no complaints there! The surrounding area wasn’t the best and there was nowhere close to go for food etc. The hotel is being redecorated which is great, however the room we stayed was either still in the process or had just been finished as there were broken and stained ceiling tiles, the shower and bathroom floor were not clean and paint spills were very noticeable. The layout made it seem like everything was just shoved in and the radiator covered by a desk. We kept seeing what appeared to be blue flashing lights similar to emergency vehicles throughout the night which alongside the local area didn’t help us in feeling safe. We did discover that the blue lights were security lights. The access to the disabled parking space was blocked by a skip and work vans were taking up space making parking difficult The cost was low budget but you can still have high standards

When we booked a few weeks ago, we paid a surcharge to pay at the hotel. They took the payment before we arrived and then couldn’t find or reservation when we arrived. Then they told us that we had already checked in! How? The room was not great but then it was only a bed for 6 hrs before we needed to get up at 3am for an early flight. Convenient for Newcastle airport

Great location to travel around local areas. Staff were so friendly and accomodating to your stay. You just had to ask and they were more than helpful. Its a converted care home with signs of wear and tear. Some rooms would challenge people. But to be fair staff relocated us on this visit. The breakfast is excellent value if booked in advance and is plentiful. For the price its offered at a reasonable rate. Well worth a visit.

Great stay

Certainly not the ritz but the staff couldnt do enough to make our stay comfortable. Beds were comfy, rooms warm. Water pressure a bit low in the shower but it was clean and close enough to city centre. You get what you pay for and to put our heads down at night and get showered it was a perfect room for us.
