Cheap and cheerful.

Just a cheap overnight stay with my son for Uni open day. Room was basic, and overall in need of renovation compared to what you expect in other cheap hotels. But staff were friendly and Hotel was easily commutable to Newcastle centre by taxi. Don’t expect the ritz, it is what it is.

We needed a bed for the night when running the Great North Run and this hotel did that. Everything needed for such a stay was available but could do with a facelift and modernising. We didn’t utilise the food options, but this was offered to us, locals supportive and friendly.

Nice hotel, friendly staff

Down to newcastle for the rugby stayed at the royal hotel for one night. On arrival the people there could not have been more helpful and friendly, as we were away for the rugby and would not be back unitl late we were allowed to register early and collect the keys from the bar on our return. Bit of a climb to the rooms, my room was comfortable and plenty of room. Only down side was not a great deal of pressure from the shower other than that i will be using the hotel again. Bus stop right outside the hotel with a regular into town every 15 minutes or so at a cost of £2.

Staff is welcoming and friendly. (They dont even mind repeating 😂 because that accent hits hard..). Those room pictures that are posted here are nothing that, our was. Cleaning could be a little bit detail oriented.. Above the coffee table, on the ceiling, were cobwebs. Bathroom, - the water pressure was bad, the hot water heats up very slowly. The walls were with plastic boards in which there were holes. It was scary to take the shower, because if you need to hold on walls, then you can demolish. No heater there, bathroom was ice cold. I had previous experience in UK with bathroom water pressure, so that wasnt suprise. Location is alright. (Stores, such as ALDi & Metrocentre are 20min walk). It's quiet at night. Beds comfortable. It would be nice if small upgrade be done to apartments and update the location information on google maps because we were circling around private sites almost for an hour..

Fair place to stay, but needs some improvements. Onsite parking, but not really striped or partitioned properly. Has a pub option. Stayed in room name "Victoria", which was rather tiny for a two person room with bed side pushed up against the wall. 3 nights in early-September 2025. Negatives: Check-in was fair enough, but high Pub traffic on Saturday night arrival seemed the priority. Whimsical Keys of the past, really don't do it for me for many safety reasons. I recommend leaving this type of key in the slot while in the room. Wi-Fi issues with connecting, staying connected, & weak signal. Silverware/ceramics were not the cleanest, nor was the kettle. In fact, I felt better after wiping down all of the touch points in the room. Bathroom was a little funky smelling. Electric hot water on demand shower experience went thru cycles of too hot, then freezing cold, all by itself. Brings new meaning to the term hot/cold therapy with 25 second cycles of each. Also, incredibly tiny shower stall to begin with low water pressure. Missing towel bar. No USB ports. Service done after the second night only, which consisted of more towels (the least of my worries) & plenty of Coffee. Positives: Sheets & newer towels were clean (the towels were not present in the room, had to ask for them). Incredibly thick toilet paper. Shower gel & hair shampoo were of higher quality as were the Coffee & Tea.

Really enjoyed our stay, such friendly staff, convenient having the pub underneath, gave us a local taxi number which is nice and also checked on our taxi to make sure it was the right one when we were leaving. Rooms clean, beds comfy, everything we needed for short stay. Brilliant shopping centre 1mile away and quick into city centre or Town Moor for events, highly recommend
