The staff were nice and the full English breakfast was good. The hotel is undergoing renovation - I'm sure it will be lovely when it's done but right now it's noisy with dark, very basic rooms.

Amazing Breakfast, Great Staff!

Great staff, very friendly and helpful all round. The hotel is being renovated so it will be good to go back when it’s finished. I’d still recommend a stay even during the upgrade work. The breakfast is TOP DRAWER! 👍

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It was nicely situated on the spotlessly clean promenade The staff were very helpful. The breakfast was excellent - nice rashers and sausages. It was being renovated so there was hoarding around the outside, but that did not bother me. Rooms being renovated with sea view looked as if they will be really nice. Room 13 was spacious with a nice clean bathroom. Would stay here again.

Superb position, you can hear the waves crashing as you leave the hotel, with stunning views across the road. Even dived in the inviting looking North Sea, which is invigorating! Parking is limited, but is free after 6pm at a large carpark a short stroll away. Excellent cooked breakfast from 6:30 to 10am which suited my fine - really friendly staff; even asked if I needed anything for my room each day which was a lovely touch. Room in need of a bit of decorating, but was very clean and provided everything I needed including tea/coffee making facility. Very good fish and chip shop nearby but look out for the starlings - they're actually very sweet! Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Whitley Bay!

I spent one night whilst visiting a friend and the hotel was absolutely ideal. Fantastic location on the beach front. All of the staff were friendly, the room was a decent size and very clean. Bathroom was also a good size with a powerful shower and extremely clean. It's a touch on the old side and is currently being renovated but honestly for the price it exceeded all expectations. The breakfast is genuinely superb as a particular highlight.

This hotel is a 200 year old building and it really felt like it needed painting everywhere. We stayed in a superior twin room, the beds were not comfortable and the bathroom did not feel clean. Saying this all the staff were amazing and could not do enough for you. My mum needed extra blankets on the first night and they were brought to us straight away. The continental breakfast was really good as was the food in the restaurant.

Excellent staff and service throughout, property feels a bit run down though. Hoping the current construction carries through to the inside as it will be an amazing place if it could modernise and clean up a bit.
