Top Hotels Near Keele University in Newcastle-Under-Lyme from NZ$103

"I was welcomed to the property, shown to my room by a friendly and helpful lady. She explained about the shower, tea and coffee making, and how to access the property using the fob. There was also a written guide in the room. The problem I encountered was the small spotlights were flickering which made reading or knitting difficult so the first night I lay on the floor by the bathroom door to read as these lights did not flicker. On the second night a chair had been provided so I was able to sit at the same end but on a chair which was more comfortable."

"Plenty of parking, quick check-in, room not overlooked so private, dinner menu disappointing in terms of choice, standard fare, well-stocked bar, breakfast good. Generally ok and good value for money "

"Hotel is looking quite dated now. Bathroom was cramped and difficult getting in and out of the shower. My main issue is breakfast timings. Stayed for business and at check in told breakfast was from 7-9am. On my first day it didn't start until 7.30 and the second arrived at 7.45 and informed that didn't start until 8am. No communication beforehand to the guests. Meant that I had to rush on both days as otherwise would have been late to my jobs. The food was nice and the kitchen staff were helpful but clear that their hours were being reduced to save costs."

"Unfortunately, there was a student prom on that evening, so the noise was too much till late."

"Lovely staff. Clean spacious room. Good gym. "

"The overall stay was excellent value, I was well looked after. The room was spotless, clean and comfortable. The evening meal was the highlight, spot on and super tasty. One of the best stays I have ever had in the UK other than those over £300 per night (not often) and this was a third of that price. "

"All okay with staff breakfast and bar but room size was too small and double bed size not enough for two adults"

"All good. Clean. However heaters not switched on room was cold"

"Unfortunately, the property did not meet reasonable cleanliness or maintenance standards. On arrival, the oven and hob were visibly dirty with grease and residue, and the kitchen overall did not appear to have been properly cleaned. There was no bin provided anywhere in the property, only loose bin bags left for guests to manage waste themselves. The bathroom showed visible mould around the shower area. This is a hygiene issue that should not be present in a paid short-term let. The sofa in the living area was stained and one section had collapsed, making it uncomfortable and not fit for proper use. Bedding was heavily pilled, the pillows were thin with synthetic covers, and only one pillow per bed was supplied. The overall standard felt low quality relative to the price paid. These issues were raised during the stay to allow the host an opportunity to address them, but no resolution was offered. With proper cleaning, maintenance and basic quality control, this property could be improved. In its current condition, however, it does not reflect the standard or value suggested by the listing."
