All very clean everywhere, nice twin room, beds comfortable. Nice breakfast in morning with plenty available and parking was good. Hotel sent general details and parking details etc on the day of stay, so good to have this information sent to us in advance. Great location in centre of Newcastle, half a mile from the main station and only a mile from quayside. We were going to football match, also close to St James's Park

No major criticisms, a minor one would be the juices at breakfast tasted very diluted, not much taste at all. Would be nice to have proper juice, but other than that, breakfast was good

The room was ideal, and it was v good value for money. The majority of the staff were lovely, really down to earth and happy to help and just chat!

I had an issue with the room temperature, and had to ask for some help adjusting it. The system wasn't v instinctive, three members of staff were at the desk when I went down. Two were so lovely, we joked about it and they said it was no trouble, the third was an older lady who had a face on her from the moment I said excuse me. She was so cold and had an attitude as if I was wasting her time. I'm a hotel manager myself and would be so embarrassed to see one of my receptionists acting like that to be honest, it gave such a cheap vibe. 10/10 to the other staff!!!

Our four-day stay at the Holiday Inn was a delightful family affair. The hotel's prime location, just a few walk through to the Utilita Arena, the discovery museum, and the train station, made our visit incredibly convenient. The buffet breakfast was a daily highlight, offering a fantastic variety that catered perfectly to our needs and our little ones' picky tastes. The friendly and attentive staff made us feel truly welcome throughout our stay. It was a wonderful experience, and we're already looking forward to our next visit!

While we loved our time there, a fridge in the room would have been a welcome addition for longer stays, especially in the summer.

The room was very, very clean and as I have certain disabilities a high bed was excellent, as were the toilet and sink. I did have a problem with the tv that stopped working but it was sorted immediately.

The breakfast was a good selection but the hot selection of a cooked breakfast was not hot at all. The bacon, sausage, eggs and beans were warm at best, and this was at the time that the kitchen opened. I hadn't realised that there was not an option for an evening meal. I had thought that as there was so many chairs and tables there would be food to order, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

The location was perfect for the city centre - just a 5 min walk from central station/metro. The rooms had everything we needed including iron and board and was very spacious. The shower was powerful although tray was slippy and would benefitted from a shower mat. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the free phone in reception to phone for a taxi was a bonus. Breakfast was very good for the price although I would have preferred a fried egg! Overall excellent value for money and I would certainly recommend.

As mentioned above the shower tray was very slippy and needs a shower mat.

The rooms were really clean and comfortable and seemed as if they'd been recently refurbished. The bathroom was excellent with a really good mirror that didn't steam up and there was great lighting. Good products. Lots of great facilities and I liked the option of pillows. Temperature in the room was great, really very comfortable and we slept well. I liked that there was a tag for the door if you wanted to save energy and not have the linen changed. And a big shout out to the male member of staff who helped us both days find the perfect places to visit. He was a star. I hope he reads this and wanted to say Hi from all of us :)

Nothing - it was all really good.

The property is located in the city centre which is handy for sightseeing, there is a wide range of food places, bars, pubs etc which are easy accessible for a nice night out, the hotel also has good breakfast facilities and a 24 hour bar alongside a small menu for meals. The staff throughout the hotel were friendly, reception staff interacted with you all the time which was great.

The only small issue I had was cleaning, there was some hairs in the shower and the toilet, it more and likely was cleaned and it’s just dust from cloths, this happens to me sometimes back at my work, but the bed had a few hairs, we also never received no bed changes throughout our stay, I don’t know the policy regarding this but it would of been nice to have some fresh sheets, but I can’t complain much as the housekeeping staff were warm and friendly and did a good job of the room overall :)

Lovely clean room and the location was pretty good too and we were able to leave our suitcases after check out. Lovely guy on reception (well, he was everywhere, actually) who was super helpful, and the lady who checked us in was fabulous! She not only allowed us to check in early because our room was ready, but she allowed our friends up too, who couldn't check into their hotel yet, she even gave us 2 extra cups and extra tea and coffee for them. Thank you!

It seemed to be famine or feast regarding the breakfast. The first morning the beans, hash browns and egg had run out, they were replenished later. The second morning there was an absolute abundance of everything, and perfectly cooked. Maybe it was just bad timing on our part.

Right from check in until we left, the staff were excellent. Helpful, engaging polite etc. Breakfast was good. Bed was comfortable. Location very good.

We found the room very warm. You could not turn the AC down beyond what I imagine was a preset temperature.
