Great location, right at city centre around 7 minutes walk to central railway station. Most helpful reception, efficient housekeeping staff. Room size is cozy, incredible washing basin at my twin room at fourth floor near the end of the corridor. Never seen such a deep basin that not one drop of water could spill on the surface, making the bathroom clean and decent every single second, unbelievable 👍 Bath shower size, cleanliness great good and even outstanding. Breakfast is basic, hot , good, at spacious lounge. Excellent memories at Newcastle because of this room, thanks to the whole team. Plus , Jasmine Bakery House is yummy as take away or sit in, may have a look.
