White’s hotel

Disappointed, The hotel needs refurbishing throughout, The breakfast was included and should have been continual.extremely disappointing one morning the hot drinks machine was not working. My bedroom was on top of a pub/ disco which was very noisy until 11pm I wouldn’t have booked this hotel i would have known this. On the plus side the staff was lovely and very friendly

Loyal customer worried about building stability

I'm very familiar with the area and it's a great one. I stayed in a single bed room this time and it was lovely, efficient and clean as per usual (albeit it's not the most modern fittings). This time around however I was genuinely worried about how stable the room was as the room moved a lot as I walked across the floor and I noticed a lot of jaunty angles in the plaster. It was enough motion to make me feel dizzy and somewhat sick. I'd hate for this hotel to have some sort of instability.

Rooms are very small. Bathroom is way too smaller than what you can think of and it comes with choked sinks. Instead of continental breakfast, very basic english breakfast is served, which you would have to keep on requesting reception to replenish the food items. Not upto the mark in terms of service.

Business trip

The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was clean but a bit tired with wallpaper peeling and a phone line not yet properly installed creating a trip hazard as you walked in. The tea spoon of the room’s coffee set had already been used as it was covered in a sticky coffee residue. Breakfast was a bit lacking - toast, a small selection of yoghurts, flapjack and some cut melon. Both juice dispensers were empty and an offering of cereal would have been nice. In fairness the hotel was at capacity for the Great North Run so I might just have been in a room that’s normally less used and due a refresh - it was otherwise quite comfortable. I can’t grumble for the price and it did the job for a business trip.

DON'T EVEN GO THERE

DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START REALLY. rOOM SO BASIC. nOHEATING ON A COLD sATURDAY AFTERNOON. Reception said they would check the room. Speaking to other guests , they had the same problem. One lady slept in her coat. Agentleman couldn't get the showere to balance the temperature. Bare wooden floors. Evidence of damage in the room. You have to pay£50 damage deposit up front. Downstairs bar is full of students. BREAKFAST WAS A DISGRACE. CRUST OF TOAST PLUS A SLICE OF BREAD ON A PAPER TISSUE AS THERE WERE NO PLATES AVAILABLE. THE RECEPTIONIST WAS COVERING THE DINING ROOM

Not impressed

The staff were lovely but that is about the only thing good about this hotel. I know i picked a cheeper option so that’s on me but the bathtub was dirty from the previous occupant the curtains were broken so every morning would get hit with the sun. You can also here every single thing through the walls, water is especially bad any time someone uses the loo or goes for a shower you can here it like it’s in your bedroom. The bed im sure the mattress hasn’t been updated in years as it’s hard as a rock. Very outdated although i wouldn’t usually care about the design the hallway leading up to the rooms smells so musty. I ate on the first night i was there they were out of fish and chips so had the scampi although it was more like rock pellets and inedible. I’d say this hotel is good if your a party goer and just want a cheep night to stay but if your just visiting friends and family like i was go for the slightly more expensive option.

The room was adequate and provided what it needed. The bathroom was definitely not cleaned properly in a long time with a buildup of mould in the caulking and behind taps. Be mindful when booking that the bar downstairs is popular with a student party crowd (not too unusual with the area) so the music is loud until the early morning. Overall not a bad stay just not a great stay.

Average hotel close to city centre.

Ok for a 1 night stay. Staff seemed friendly enough. Room whilst generally clean and bed comfortable was in need of a makeover. There were dusty areas in the corners of the carpet and the shower cubical leaked, as there was no where to hang towel whilst in shower put on floor outside and it got soaking wet. Guess you get what you pay for. Had to pay a £50 security deposit whilst this was made clear when booking I have never been asked to do this before and I have stayed in many many hotels. Also very inflexible with parking. Wanted to pop and get coffee in the. Morning but was told car had to be removed by 11 else I would get a parking fine. Couldn’t even extend for an hour. Close to city centre.
