People in the pub-(itâs not a hotel really as its rooms above the pub) are excellent. First class friendly people. Food (burgers) really tasty. Student / young people Saturday evening. Rooms are pretty dated - old shower tray wouldnât empty so feet had a bath- but fine for a couple in nights (up in Newcastle for football) just to sleep in before getting up to enjoy the City. Walk to main shopping area/ city and football ground. Friendly people. This is not a 5 star Hilton esque hotel- but thatâs not a problem - didnât expect it. Plus points- the bar staff and workers are so great! Negative - area is a little run down/ graffiti and fortune building next door was derelict so could park there.
This is not a Hotel itâs just rooms above a pub which are very basic with the switches taken of the only Radiator in the room so it couldnât be turned on so the room was cold.no mirror in the bathroom to get shaved ect & only one towel provided for 2 people.the positives where the staff where nice & friendly the bedding was clean & the free toiletries where a nice touch.
Basically a fantastic location and great value for money. Really comfortable bed, hot water, great staff, good food. Slight niggles. Internet hit and miss, abit noisy until 12.00am, no bedside tables or lamps.
Stayed in a double room (room 1) and there was mold everywhere; on the baseboards and in the shower. The mattress was stained and yellow and ended up getting moved rooms after we complained
A handy hotel above a pub in Jesmond. Basic but very clean & comfortable. Shame the room advertised 15 percent discount on food and drink downstairs is no longer available.
To check in, you go to the bar which felt a little weird and the pin stopping the bar customers from coming up stairs was never on. The room was in need of deep clean. There were marks all over the walls, the shower head was disgusting and had copious amounts of build up. The shower head also could not be moved up or down as it was broken. Everything was poorly put together with misshaped bits of wood hiding things about the room. Mirrors had not been cleaned and we had to clean them ourselves to actually use them.
The beds themselves were actually okay and comfortable enough, and the location of the hotel was great with the main part of the town within walking distance. Staff were also friendly.
I wouldnât recommend. It really would not take much effort to clean the room properly.
This is less of a hotel and more some rooms above a busy and loud pub. It was very hard to get in contact with the staff as it was listed there was parking available which there was not. There was a tiny space that about 1-2 cars could fit that was blocked so we ended up going to a car park.
Our room was on the top floor which did not help with the sound, there were loud drunk people coming up all hours.
The room itself was very sparse, cold and we found blood smeared at the end of the bed (I took photos) the door lock to our room felt very unsecure. A hard push would have let anyone in. The running water smelt very strongly of eggs and the bed didnât seem very clean.
Overall I wouldnât recommend this, the only good thing I can say is that it was close to where we needed to go.
Absolutely freezing cold room with a small radiator that hardly worked and a minute oil filled electric radiator. We had to sleep in our clothes. The socket by the bed had a big scorch mark on it and the 2nd internal door to the room had a massive gap at the bottom. Room was a fire risk.
