"Lovely hotel in Newcastle City Centre. Easy walking distance from Central Train Station and to all entertainment venues. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly. Only negative was our room was an adjoining one, lack of sound proofing on adjoining door meant all noise/conversations between the 2 rooms was very audible. Would definately recommend this hotel but avoid an adjoining room if you can 🙂"

"The castle is amazing, such a wonderful place to stay. Alex in the bar provided excellent service both to me and all other visitors making their experience a joy. I would definitely recommend, the restaurant staff need to bring the same level of care and service as the bar, being on my own they didn’t think about where best to sit me in the restaurant and seemed annoyed when I wasn’t ready to order. Just small things make the difference to an experience. Overall wonderful and so much history to absorb"
