Leonardo Hotel Newcastle - Formerly Jurys Inn

Leonardo Hotel Newcastle - Formerly Jurys Inn

Newcastle|0.41km from Discovery Museum
I stayed 4 nights as part of a National Coach Holiday trip, with Bed Breakfast and Evening meal included in the package. The location of the hotel and the communal areas cannot be faulted, and all areas were very clean. The staff were helpful and friendly. The big disappointment was being told that we could not get our evening meal until 7.30pm. We had to pre book from a 3 course menu on arrival and subsequently each evening. 7.30 pm was late for a lot of us, being of a mature age! Also service was badly planned as the waiting staff came out and went round the room asking who was having which dish. This not only took a lot of time and also some people forgot what they had pre -ordered. With 3 courses to serve we did not finish until 9pm. This is not the waiting staff's fault, but bad management practice. However on the fourth night, all was chaos. two more coach parties had been booked in and there was mayhem, and a near riot in the dining room with about 160 people trying to get seated. it was after 8pm before service started, again not the fault of the staff. A lady on our table did not get her starter at all. I think she was quite relieved as Bruschetta does not consist of a lump of soggy brown bread, a roughly chopped tomato, some thick slices of onion, and the half dead and wilted salad greens which were served with most meals. No apology from the management. Breakfast was excellent. The rooms were a good size and were clean, but the bathroom was shabby, chipped bath and basin and a toilet seat that was not very secure. The beverage station did not get replenished until Thursday, and the dirty mugs did not get replaced throughout our stay. The. basin tap broke on Thursday morning, which I reported, but it did not get fixed. Can't fault the staff, but working practice and management leave a lot to be desired. Thank goodness for my fellow travellers, whose friendship and brilliant sense of humour made it all worthwhile. Also thanks to National Coach Holidays and our driver.

Hotel Indigo Newcastle

Newcastle|0.43km from Discovery Museum
We are in the IHG club and have therefore stayed at other Indigo hotels. This was our first visit to Newcastle. We got off to a bad start because when I tried to phone the hotel prior to our arrival I was put into an endless loop which didn't get anywhere. I eventually had to contact Indigo Central who had the same problem getting through. Someone from the hotel did then contact me however and apologised that there were issues with the telephone system. Not a good first impression however. The other issue we had was with the room cards which I had to have re-calibrated a total of five times in the two days we were there. We were eventually told that if we kept them in the same pocket as a mobile phone or in its vicinity this would stop the card working. This is not an issue that we recall having had elsewhere. The room was modern and comfortable, as was the bathroom. We found the mattress to be on the hard side. There were plenty of plugs, there was adequate lighting and a room safe. Tea, coffee and biscuits were provided as was a fridge with bottled water. We ate in the hotel on our first night and found the food to be very good. We had been confused that within the hotel itself there were signs referring to a Marco Pierre White restaurant, but it turned out that this had closed. The restaurant is now the Grainger. There was a good choice of self-service breakfast, and also a cooked menu. So the positives outweigh the negatives, and we would probably stay here again if we came back to Newcastle.

Albatross Hostel
4/529 Reviews
I run a local charity helping the homeless community in Newcastle and was using this hostel as a base while I did so. However I missed checkout time due to helping out a person in need which took me longer than expected. I was banned and physically ejected with force from the premises by a member of staff; several items of my property were still in the hostel and they refused to return them to me. The police were involved and an extensive investigation was made for common assault and theft. Conveniently the CCTV footage was unconclusive and the case closed. I later discovered this member of staff was actually the DUTY manager. My attempts to make a formal complaint to the overal manager were ignored and now a duty manager who is extremelely rude and has physically assaulted guests and steals their property is now still working at this hostel. I can only assume this i because the member of staff was management and they were trying to stick together..his name was Anthony and as I am aware he still working there now to this day. I escalated this complaint to the customer relations team; whereby I was threatened with legal action in their attempt to keep me quiet and prevent me leaving these reviews...this I chose to ignore as other potential guests need to know the truth. Through my work with the homeless I have managed to meet other people who have had similar bad experiences at the hostel, one of which was actually made homeless due to the hostels. I have been told they refuse any members of the homeless community; despite them having cash, a form of ID and some who I know really well would never misbehave or cause any issue in the hostel. I even met another member of staff who was staying there full time who was now living as a homeless member in Newcastle; they had some similar bad experiences and were sacked for invalid reasons. All in all, its a shame this hostel has so much potential, if they were to change all the staff this place could really be somethng special, as the location is perfect. In conclusion I would recommend not to stay here until they consider reviewing their staffinf and policies
The County Aparthotel
4.3/524 Reviews
We had the pleasure of staying at the apartments on 24th July. We had 5x2 bed apartments for reunion of friends and family. The apartments were beautiful and well maintained, with lots of little touches. Ideal central location with easy access to shops, bars and restaurants. The staff were excellent
Premier Suites Newcastle
4.3/525 Reviews
Overall our stay was quite good. A few notes: Easy walk from train station Allows late check ins - we arrived late & had arranged with the front desk ahead - they sent very detailed directions to pick up the keys - very clear and worked well!! (Reception only open day hours but communication was excellent) Suite was well appointed - kitchen, fridge, microwave We had 2 bedroom suite - 2 full bathrooms & 2 bedrooms (each had a double bed) The building is dated/older but the suites were clean. No complaints at all. Comfy beds & pillows. Linens were quite pleasant & towels fluffy soft (literally the towels were so fluffy we were all talking about it!) There is a lift/elevator - great for those with luggage. Washing machine - fantastic to have a washer when traveling with a family!! (Note no dryer- just a washer) Considerations: No air conditioning so we opened the windows at night. This meant a lot of noise - a lot. Each night there were people screaming, bottles smashing and sirens. It bothered the light sleepers, others were unfazed. I wouldn’t say the area is “bad” or questionable at all- just there is a lot of nightlife and the noise of which travels straight up into the suite.
Hampton by Hilton Newcastle

Located just across the road from Newcastle train station and within walking distance of almost every major destination of interest, this hotel was perfectly placed for a short visit. Breakfast buffet was good and included a machine for making waffles. The room was big and modern. Very nice stay here
