    Excellent service from staff. Excellent value for money

    Car parking is abysmal. Does not meet the statement on the description of the hotel which should describe how limited it is. It is just three spaces at the rear of the hotel and one where you cannot get the car fully off the road. These spaces are constantly taken. Parking in roads around the hotel is a nightmare.

    "Definitely happy to stay there again. Very comfortable."

    Incredibly helpful reception staff, beyond the call of duty. Great choice of breakfast options. Good that the front door is locked after 11pm and reception remains manned all night.

    The corridors could do with an uplift, but the rooms were very tastefully and freshly decorated.

    "It was only a two star but it is in need of freshening up, and making surroundings a little more homely. Very bare and dark especially in breakfast room, but staff were very friendly and helpful,making checkin and checkout very quick and easy. "

    Clean bedding, breakfast ok, bathroom adequate

    General appearance, paintwork, walls etc in need of tidying up, lots of marks chips etc. Large cockroach/beetle above on wall above bed, caught and removed down the toilet.

    "Fine. Nothing special. If I booked again, I would ask for a room at the back to avoid any street noise."

    Clean room, daily renewed towels etc. Breakfast fine if not special.

    The bed was far too soft, feeling the springs. Needed replacing.

    Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast. Good location - city centre bus just outside but also within walking distance.

    En Suite facilities very small. Limited wardrobe space so lived out of the suitcase!

    "Very friendly and accommodating, also the restaurant attached was very good."

    Because we needed to be at the Sunwalk early on a Sunday morning the staff were very willing to give us breakfast earlier than normal.

    "Overall a positive experience and good points far outweighed the negative."

    Very helpful, friendly and interested staff right down to chamber maids. The personal touch was very welcome and important to us as we had come for our daughter's graduation and were struggling with awful weather.

    Some of stairwells and corridors rather shabby and dark. Breakfast arrangements shared with neighbouring italian restaurant where people were wandering through. Felt somewhat in the way.

    "Good stay will use again next year when I return for another graduation ceremony."

    The Manager was extremely helpful to me when I needed a garage as a matter of urgency in order to have my car fixed for my long journey home. She personally directed me to the garage and was a great help! The breakfast was very nice and the location excellent for the purposes of my stay

    The car parking facilities are very small

    "Good hotel for cost, everything clean and tidy, staff very friendly and helpful, breakfast great too. Very enjoyable weekend."

    Staff are very helpful, especially the owner, she made sure we were well looked after, they even recommended good local restaurants and bars to eat in. The room was large, clean and warm and breakfast was lovely. The location of the hotel is easy to find and has a nice selection of bars on the same street. All in all we had a great Christmas shopping weekend. Newcastle is fantastic for shopping weekends plenty to keep you busy!

    Parking could be a problem.

    "LOCATION WAS GOOD "

    HAVING A QUAD ROOM SO THE 4OF US COULD ALL STAY IN THE ONE ROOM

    CHECK OUT TIME 10.30AM TOO EARLY

  • 70% Older Couple

    stayed on September 19, 2008

    "Hotel conveniently located, but slightly rambling and because of fire doors rather stale smelling. Room okay, but as I said, a bit tired. Bathroom had been recently renovated, though. Value for money quite good, and local facilities useful."

    Able to park car off road, friendly staff, convenience to centre of Newcastle, restaurants right next to hotel. Bed reasonably comfortable. Hairdryer useful. Nice to have "roomlet" to sit and watch tv with 2 chairs but these very "tired". Breakfast fine, served in a friendly manner, and quickly.

    Hotel has a very "tired" feel. It would be nice to be offered shower gel/shampoo, though hairdryer useful. Worst point - absolutely no drawers to put clothes in - we were there 3 nights, and this was quite a problem. Inadequate place to hang wet towels. Need for a privacy curtain in the roomlet by bathroom, as this looks out straight onto main road. Had to dress by electric light as couldn't draw curtains.
