The room had a comfortable bed, but the bedding was dirty with hairs.

The hotel has a charming pub atmosphere that's great for socializing.

The bathroom showed signs of severe neglect with mold and wet bedding.

I had a great time! The breakfast was outstanding, with perfectly cooked bacon and sausage, and my room was clean and comfortable. The juke box in the bar added a fun touch! Would definitely return.

fair experience but could improve comfort

The location made getting to the football match easy, with excellent transport options to the city center. The bar offered good prices for drinks, making it a pleasant place to relax after a busy day.

The shared bathroom situation caused some inconvenience during my stay.

The warm and friendly staff made our early check-in seamless, and we enjoyed a lively atmosphere in the traditional pub downstairs. the noise from nearby rooms disrupted our sleep.

The room was small with thin pillows, but it had charming local decor.

The hotel has a charming character with clean, comfortable rooms and friendly staff, though it can get noisy and the decor feels dated. Basic amenities are satisfactory, and breakfast is decent. The location is convenient, making it a good budget option for a night out.

The location was perfect for visiting the MetroCentre! 🚶‍♂️ the noise from the pub below was quite disturbing at night. Room was okay, but a good clean would help a lot.

great proximity to parks and key landmarks for city strolls

I stayed one night and was pleasantly surprised by the hotel's excellent cleanliness and comfortable bed, which allowed me to rest well before exploring the nearby Great North Museum, just over 3 km away, perfect for a weekend wander, and the charming Dunston Staiths, a lovely 900 meters stroll along the riverside for a picturesque view of the Tyne.

comfortable stay with friendly service

The room was clean and had a comfortable bed, which made for a restful night. The staff were very friendly, providing warm and welcoming service throughout my stay.

The location, while decent, requires a bit of walking to reach more central areas.

I appreciated the friendly atmosphere and the helpful staff, especially during breakfast. The room was clean, and I found the location quite accessible for our needs, making it easy to explore the lovely surroundings in Newcastle.

Some areas could use modern updating.

Great location near football, but loud noise ruined my sleep. Not ideal for quiet stays.

The hotel sits adjacent to empty industrial units and a busy bus route, which can rattle your windows and disrupt sleep. The decor feels outdated, characterized by a mish-mash of tongue and groove paneling and visibly unkempt maintenance. Showers in the rooms struggle with temperature control. expect either scalding hot or freezing cold—very little in between. the kitchen seems to cut corners, with a breakfast that tastes like it's just been reheated. There are also noise issues. conversations from nearby rooms and the pounding of bass from the bar can easily filter in. the experience doesn’t quite match the price point.

The Royal offers a no-frills accommodation suitable for business travelers, with clean room facilities including a kettle for coffee and tea. The staff were efficient and always ready to assist with any requests. The complimentary breakfast included a full English option, providing a good start to the day.

The accommodations are slightly dated, and noise from outside can be disruptive.

Loving the vibrant bar scene downstairs, with cheap drinks and a jukebox to keep the night rolling! Plus, that Riverside Delight just a stroll away had chippy heaven wrapped up in fresh batter. Quite the culinary find, if you ask me!

I mean, where do I start? Bit of a dodgy experience with breakfasts that didn't exist, and had my room ‘Gemma’ screaming for repairs. Two bulbs out, a dirty shower, and don’t even get me started on that mattress.
