When we arrived to the hotel we were greeted by a very creepy manager, who demanded to see ID and stopped our friend from coming to the room with us!! (We are 3 girls in our early 20s) and mae her stay downstairs with him!!! …

Would not recommend staying here!Towels were damp, black hair all through the bed, bathroom below average cleanliness. The key wouldn't work to unlock the door so the reception couldn't give us a key.. We were told to just let him lock it for us when we leave.After asking for a refund if they couldn't provide us with a key, they moved us to the smallest room I've ever slept in that stunk. No curtains.The bed was tiny as as there was 2 of us, definitely wasn't what we had booked..Stay somewhere else!!

Room was well kept, nice bar/games area downstairs and in a good location. The guy who runs it was friendly as well. Only downsides are that our TV didn’t work as it kept switching on and off, and there were no blinds/curtains so it got bright as soon as the sun came up. Enjoyed our stay.

We arrived at 5 pm to find the property locked and no one answered the bell or knocks at the door. The telephone number provided does not connect to anything. We had to go find another hotel at short notice. I believe this property to be some kind of scam.

Yes you get a room at extremely low rate but you get what you pay for. Bathroom is communal. The manager is probably one of the strangest and most unpleasant human being I’ve come across in recent memory. Acting like I’d steal his £20 TV remotes… Eye opening experience. They have a different name on Google maps trying to hide something it’s obvious. Here’s the 5 star review you asked for.

The rooms are ok, that’s about all I can say positive, The staff seemed to be on drugs and quite intermediating. wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone it’s not in a nice area of Newcastle and when we arrived yesterday at midday the hotel wasn’t even open for us to leave our bags.
