Maldron Hotel Newcastle
Spotless room, friendly, helpful staff. I loved the thoughtful touch of the birthday wishes hand written on the mirror, the birthday sweet treats and card waiting for us in the room. Can't fault the location either!

Grey Street Hotel
Room was fine. Noise from bar over the road to the hotel until after 2am was ridiculous. Appreciate the hotel can’t influence this but maybe people should be pre-warned off the noise prior to booking. Old building and noise from creaking floors above from 6:30 in the morning was not appreciated. ...

County Hotel & County Aparthotel Newcastle
Staff great, room clean & well equipped. Room very cramped no room for suitcase had to empty wardrobe of equipment in order to hang clothes. Bathroom again small and cold. OK for overnight with a soft a bag. Feel sorry to give mediocre score as pleasant but would not use again
