Dislikes. In The first apartment (42), the door handle to the living area fell off and we found that the washing machine was broken. We were then moved to apartment 43 which was in a very poor condition for a “luxury apartment “. There were broken tiles in the shower which had been stuck back in place with silicone sealer. A toilet that didn’t flush. The kitchen bench was cracked and chipped. Every room had a self closing fire door.

Not what it says on the tin
The apartment was nothing like the one in the picture. It was fairly large, but furnished very cheaply and in desperate need of a bit of maintenance. On arrival we were greeted by a visit from two fire engines - a shower had apparently caused the alarm to be triggered... should not happen! If you are used to student accommodation or hostels then this place is ok. But even then it really isn't a great location.

Was upgraded to 2 bedroom apartment with balcony and view over the river. Large apartment, kitchen adequate, could have done with a few more standard utensils (tin opener, scissors, 2 oven gloves rather than 1). Whole apartment needed some tlc. Tap loose in the en-suite and loose floor tiles. Settee very lumpy too. However, bed was clean and comfortable which was the main thing needed. Towels and toiletries provided along with tea, coffee and milk. Only stayed 1 night and got bargain price so can’t complain. Staff on reception friendly and we were able to leave luggage there before we could check in. Would definitely use again at the right price

Disappointed
Half of the bulbs don’t work, the kettle didn’t work, the microwave didn’t work - checked all the isolator switches and still nothing. The seal on the shower is decayed meaning that the floor gets covered with no way of avoiding it. The toilet seat is broke and slips and it was a bit dirty. No plug for the bath, pretty sure the washing machine leaks, the carpets damp and sticky in places. Stains all up the walls. Ground Room was next to car park and was a bit noisy in the morning.

Kitchen and bathrooms were clean but walls were dirty and dented with two kitchen chairs that were frayed and arms in need of repair. Beds were comfortable with clean linen and bath towels. Good location close to river and downtown.

Lovely Spacious apartment
Lovely apartment very spacious , clean and friendly staff! Parking is available just on the road out side for 60p and hour free after 18:30-08:00am rather than paying £15 to use car park which is a bit mean! We have been a couple of times & will be returning. You do also have to pay a £200 deposit which takes a while to be refunded.

The property was amazing and so comfortable. The balcony was a good size, so happy they had Netflix. The staff were so welcoming and friendly after a 4 hour drive from birmingham I was desperate to use the restroom, they were more than happy to let me use the facilities before checking in, Leanne was fantastic and so friendly!

The property was centrally located and it was easy to get to. The second bedroom was smaller than expected and not really big enough for a double bed or to accommodate a travel cot for a baby.

Convinienent location with a good view
This is a good location- 15mins walk to centre of newcastle or the the station. Cheap uber from station. We had an apartment with balcony overlooking the river direction with a good view. Nicely decorated and 2 bathrooms for 4 of us was a treat. You are not on the edge of the river but close by. Well equiped kitchen if you intend to cater. We used deliveroo!

Very disappointed by the unhygienic facilities.
We planned a night in Newcastle to celebrate my friends 50th birthday and travelled from different parts of the country. When we arrived we found that although we had booked an apartment for five people we had to ask for a fifth bed and then had to make the bed ourselves. The en-suite had not been cleaned which included a very dirty toilet. We were horrified to find that the double bed had not been changed and bodily fluids were present on the sheets from the previous occupants. We had to request clean bed linen and remove the dirty sheets ourselves. The grill pan had not been cleaned and was full of bacon and bacon grease which smelt awful. We informed the night staff and receptionist of our concerns and were advised to email Dream apartments however after many emails to Dream apartments I have had no response. Very disappointing stay and lack of customer service.

Disappointing View or lack of....
The apartment was clean and comfortable however there was no view as pictured on the Hotel.com website, in fact it was hard to see out off the two tiny windows. We probably wouldn’t have chosen to stay here if the unit we received was pictured. Also they have major leak problems in the bathroom which they are aware off as we spoke to maintenance in regards to it.

I'd stay here again
This was a decent stay. There was an issue with some soap powder on the kitchen floor and old pans that was resolved immediately. The second shower didn't have a head or cord, so we used the one shower. Overall the place was clean and tidy but the apartment wasn't as big as we expected.

We loved staying here and would have considered another night but work got in the way. The rooms are so very clean, the reception team are fantastic too. We were lucky enough to get an upgrade, fantastic apartment and view. I’d stay here before anywhere else in Newcastle now and we’ve stayed in a number of hotels across the city. It’s near the Quayside about 5 minutes to the bars there walking. Not much around the apartment but worth the small effort to walk. Don’t hesitate to book. Mark

Agency could provide a map on the lobby counter on all essential services location, e.g. supermarket, hospital, tourist attraction. Carpark entry is very tight. Please per warn accommodation tight carpark entry on your websites and expedia.

Stayed for a 4 day break in Newcastle-lovely location-close to everything! Apparent was clean and spacious. If you have a larger car be careful when entering and exiting the car park-the gate at the top is a bit tight!!

This apartment was lovely and clean, it was just by all the pubs and clubs and shops and resturants but just enough out the way that you were away from the noise. And with underground parking. Although we were charged £25 for an extra bed which we didnt ask for as there was 5 of us even though when we booked it said 2 double beds with a single futon. Then when we got to the room there was no extra bed or futon, it took a few hours and a couple of phone calls to finally get it in our room before we went out for the evening. And the extra bed we got charged for we asked to be refunded and the receptionist said “ ill have to wait for the manager to do it so maybe in a day” not sure what that ment but i didnt like the sound of it, and will be checking constantly until i do get it. And also the bath towels, there were only 4 and like i said there was 5 of us. But other then that it was great and i would recommend to stay here if there is no more then 4 of you and dont let the receptionist add and extra bed on your price without double checking
