Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Great value for money. Clean, spacious room, with a nice big shower, about 15-20 minutes walk from centre of Newcastle. Included wifi and breakfast in a bag. Lovely, friendly, happy staff.

Hot water
Only one entrance
Ample clean room
Hotel located within walking distance of the city centre. Staff were friendly.
Per other reviews, the hotel is tired and in need of some TLC. You can see signs of water damage in some hallways. In our room, some lights did not work. Boxing around some pipes was also pulling away from the wall. Parking is not free. Two nights cost £20.
Not a nice place to stay staff rude and staff walk in ya room without knocking first made my mate fall of the bed and bust her head open on radiator as she was asleep and there scared her she is autistic so she has to fall asleep to mucis but wasn't accommodated for this very rude staff and was asked to leave with no option of another hotel or money back
The location, extremely close to the City centre. The size of the room. The cleanliness. The comfort. The price. There was nothing to fault.
There was nothing not to dislike
Good staff. Enjoyed conversation with the gentleman who works nights, very friendly. Location is very good and room was good value for money. You get what you pay for, in a good way. Would stay there again no problem.
Kettle didn't work in the morning although it worked the evening before. That was the same in the other room we booked. Breakfast was a basic carry bag with cheap croissant, yoghurt etc but again, no reflection on the value it's just it would have been nice to have been able to go downstairs and grab a cooked breakfast after a decent night's kip but not possible sadly.
It was ok.
The bathroom could do with getting updated
Great value for money, comfortable and clean room.
Nothing
The environment was quiet, the room was spacious and neat, the bathroom and toilet looked properly maintained as well
N/A
The location was okay, you could get a bus outside the accommodation to and from the central station near the city centre. I’m elderly so the bus stop made it easier for me to get around
The lighting, I couldn’t see to read unless I put the chair next to the open door of the lighted bathroom,
I like the room size, quietness, shower / hot water.
Strangely , there is only 1 specific room (in the Premium room rate) that has air-conditions (I think it's room 302) but the rest of the room has only fans (while the rate is the same). The bed and pillow quality is also a problem for me. The mattress seems to be sinking in the middle when I sleep and the pillows are too soft and flat. They seems to be of cheap quality. There are stains on the sofa in the room (almost every room I stayed in in the Premium Double Room (301 - 308). The door to the bathroom is not able to lock thus creating noises at night with winds from the fan.
The bed was comfy and the shower was warm
I stayed over the great North run weekend so the hotel was very overpriced for what it was the room it's self is dated it's right next to a fire station so you will hear the alarms going off , I was lucky I didn't have to pay for parking as I booked last year but other guests did
Over all good
All good
The location was easy to drive to and not far to walk into the Centre
Very dated old and tired looking rooms, needs refurbishing. Would be just about ok for stag do maybe. Lights didn’t work, extractor fan sounded like a motorbike that was going to break down. Defo not worth £388 for two nights. I get that demand was high due to great north run but still can’t justify that.
Staff were very friendly and helpful
The pillow cases and sheets smelled dirty
Gutes Preis Leistungs Verhältnis. Fußläufig in die Innenstadt.
-
Location was great and it had all the basics. Room was cleaned well when I needed it. Snacks were available to buy at a decent price. Clean towels when needed. Staff were friendly and helpful.
The WiFi did not work at all and I really needed the WiFi. A lot of the outlets in the room weren’t working. I wish breakfast was a little more interesting. No hair conditioner provided. The soap given was hand wash, body wash and shampoo all in one.
La grandeur et la propreté de la chambre La gentillesse du réceptionniste, il a toute de suite proposé de monter ma valise car il n'y a pas d'ascenseurs
Le déjeuner: pas de salle pour déjeuner. On reçoit un sac en papier avec 1 croissant dans 1 sachet, 1 pomme, 1 petit berlingot de jus de pomme et 1 yogourt. Il faut faire son café dans la chambre. Pour pouvoir laisser ses bagages avant le check-in faut payer 2£ par pièce
Quite newly renovated room; comfortable; large size; could open a window; quiet location
Reception staff manner was a little brusque to begin with.
Sauberkeit in Ordnung Personal freundlich Großzügiges Zimmer
Mobiliar sehr in die Jahre gekommen und teilweise kaputt Es war ziemlich kalt im Zimmer Badezimmer sehr marode (kaputte Fliesen, Toilette sehr wackelig und locker)
Conscientious for station and city centre
TV reception was patchy on some channels. A problem with the aerial feed?
Ive stayed before so it was a no brainer
Leaving
Ligging was prima tov centrum
Géén lift, ontbijt erg karig, personeel niet heel vriendelijk
Breakfast was exactly what was described when I booked.
A real hot breakfast would be nice but they delivered what was promised.
Helpful and friendly staff, quiet neighbourhood, close walk to city, near to bus station too
The sound proofing can be better, can hear the other tenants walking above me
Unvergleichliches Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis! Sehr edle Zimmer in guter Lage, immer wieder gerne!
Price meet quality. Good place for short stay. Localisation great, with walking distance to city centre. room tidy but bathroom had some history to tell.
make sure your care registration in put in place or pay directly to property and keep recipe. Pay for my stay but 2 weeks later get ticket. Manager sort all after sending email and proof for paying. Un necessary issues after.
Arrived and then left within 10 minutes. Smelt awful, stains up the walls and not looked after. Would never book again. Asking for a refund however getting no reply.
Smelt. Dirty. Uncomfortable.
Emplacement, personnel, calme
Manque d’ascenseur
The location was excellent and the rooms exceeded our expectations. The bed and pillows were very comfy.
A lift would have been very helpful we were all in our 70s and lugging our cases up the stairs with a bad knee was a tad challenging. Apart from that we had a lovely time and would def stay with Rooms Inn again.
Amazing value. The rooms were very nice. The hotel was not far from the City Centre and on bys routes.
Large room. Clean and comfortable. Friendly and efficient staff. Great location and parking available.
Grab bag not quite as good as I remember. Croissant without butter or jam is very dry.
Staff are friendly but that's all I would say defo wouldn't stay again
No drawers in room Only 4 coat hangers No hot breakfast No doors on wardrobe
Nah zur Innenstadt und dennoch ruhige Lage.
Leider kein Aufzug und das Frühstück (Grab & Go) war etwas dürftig (Getränk fehlte und Frühstück bestand lediglich aus einem kleinen Croissant, einem Apfel und einem Joghurt).
Nice spacious rooms with a clean bathroom. Close to the city centre, especially if you’re driving.
One of our rooms didn’t have a window that could open. Would have loved a mini fridge but it’s not something I am disappointed not having.
Space, view, facility
The floors and carpets need better clean and fixes. The shower needs some touch, fix
Está a 20 minutos del centro.
La moqueta muy sucia y debajo de las camas aún más.
La posizione vicinissima la centro. Tutto pulito, bagno enorme. Letto comodissimo.
La colazione era un po' scarsa
Price was cheap
Dated and damaged room, our friends room in the same hotel was much nicer and we paid the same which didn't seem fair .
Just not in the right place as accommodation as yet.
All
room roomy comfy. good location. good bathroom facilities, coffee and tea facilities
no usb charging points. breakfast could have been better for a carry out type. NO lifts. as disabled found them hard to navigate at the end of the day.
Pulizia, personale cordiale ed efficiente.
Fairly priced
Parking was free and included with booking the last time we stayed, we had to pay this time around which wasn’t expected. It was a surprise when we checked in that we had to pay for the parking.
Central location
Grab bag breakfast
As always a nice comfortable stay and the location is good for me. Friendly staff who are always happy to help in any way. Complimentary breakfast is a bonus and always fresh.
Location was good, reception was friendly
Room tired, patched up walls, dark hairs in the shower and on the towels and bedding. Lots of dust everywhere
Location
Queda a 20 minutos del centro, caminando.
Le falta limpieza a la moqueta ,debajo de la cama mucho polvo.
Close to the town
Location
Strong smell on entering the room
La cama
Que no hubiera personal a nuestra llegada a las 10 de la noche
Location near downtown, great shower and clean room.
Mattress is not the best.
Die Ablage im Bad war super. Großes Zimmer.
Die Matratzen sollten ausgetauscht werden. Man hat jede Feder gespürt. Auch ist das Sofa komplett durchgesessen.
All
Nowt
Friendly staff
It was close to town center and good neighborhood. Rooms are clean and no issues.
No breakfast was offered, even when it stated it was included.
How close it was to the centre
A bit shabby, “breakfast” is a some yogurt and an orange juice sitting at the reception.Also the parking is a scam
Thought the location was brilliant so easy to get to in the car and about a 15 minute walk in to Newcastle, also the hotel is in a quiet area didn’t get the noise so slept well
Having to pay £2 per item to leave bags before we could check in
very good location. comfy bed. our room was huge. breakfast to go in a bag was a nice touch.
Cheap and cheerful
The room stank of smoke
Clean large room.
Nothing was wrong.
Lovely hotel, clean room and comfy beds and quiet. Walking distance to local places
Große Zimmer
Dass selbst die neuen Zimmer sich nicht gut lüften lassen und warm werden. Das Frühstück entspricht halt den Bildern. Besser als nichts.
The location and the size of the room.plus the continental breakfast offered
Probably not having a proper breakfast
Good value for money. We only stayed one night as it was a stop over for another destination but the room was comfortable and it was all we needed with good facilities.
When I booked earlier in the year the parking was free/ complimentary to hotel guests but this changed a couple of months after my booking to £10 a day. Was not notified of the change.
Friendly staff very welcoming
Room was an ok size. Hotel had basic facilities. It was ok for an overnight stay
Bed was hard and uncomfortable
Nice rooms, great shower, comfy bed. Location is decent too.
Having to go home
Black out curtains clean and comfy beds felt safe wasn't worried about my children
Dirty bathroom ie tiles, bath and toilet real old cracked and mould spots like black spots.
Cosy room with very good facilities including all that I needed: to make coffee or tea, milks, sugar, kettle also hair dryer, iron and ironing board. Very cozy bed and soft pillows.
Once I woke up the room was smelling dumped although I left the window a bit open all night. I think it will be good that the manager takes action to resolve this as a dump room causing health issues.
Honestly the only memorable part would be opening the window for some fresh air
There was rips and tears on the side sofa that turned to a bed and I suppose the previous tenants shot a loogie on the window curtains and it was left for us to find clear as day, for the price I expected more tho they did provide wine I read was 14-19 pounds ended up costing 22-25 pounds there’s no lift so I had to haul mine and my partners heavy luggage without any help and the woman working that front desk seemed tired of us from the moment we arrived granted we arrived a bit early for check in time she did give us a space to keep our luggage while we waited 6hours for the room to become available she was pretty rude raising her voice at times because we checked in early but was somehow friendly at checkout perhaps she needed some rest but overall disappointed because I booked for practicality an upgrade of the hotel stay from where we previously were yet found a place almost double the price with a bit of a downgrade from where we were. Pretty disappointed with this place tho the pictures make it seem as if it’s some low class fancy hotel I wished I could go back and just overlook this place but what’s done is done
Large, comfortable bed. Helpful staff. Great value for money.
Handily placed for city centre. Room was adequate.
Fan didnt work, it was warm. Lack of sugar free drinks for diabetic party meber.
Els llits son comodes i l esmorzar està acceptable
La part vella està molt deixada. La foto es de la part nova
Clean, good location.
Room on the small side, as well as double bed on smaller side. As opposed to photos of dining space, this was not available. Breakfast is a packed to go bag.
Locatie
Parkeren was inclusief toch bij het inboeken 10 pound moeten betalen later gemeld dat dit incl. Was met een zuur gezicht mijn geld terug gekregen
Good value and close to the city centre. Friendly staff. Comfortable bed.
Room facilities i.e.shower etc very good.Bed was super comfortable.
There is nothing I didn't like.
Friendly staff good location.clean and comfortable..when we booked in the lass that was on reception went above and beyond nothing was too much trouble..hotel is ideal if you want a budget no frills place to stay.exceptionally clean. Would definitely stay again
Could do with a good coffee vending machine in reception
Close to everything we needed.
Sink and toilet could do with being replaced.
Lokalizacja
Zamykanie drzwi jak ktoś chcial wyjść zapalić
It was a bit out from the centre so was quiet , but easy enough to get into the centre
The carpets was dirty and marked , the iron attached to the ironing board was broken so would trip the electrics in the room , peeling paint on the windows room 204
Nothing
It had a disgusting smell in the room and didn't feel clean. The light switch at either side of the bed was broken the cable of the phone was loose and possibly broken too.
Staff were friendly, location convenient, grab and go breakfast bag was helpful
Bath taps didn't work, general wear and tear of room, window wasn't secure, cobwebs, just generally quite run down, fixtures broken, small towels.
الغرفة كبيرة وجيدة والسعر مناسب والافطار جاهز ومحدد لكل ضيف من الاستقبال و لأباس به ويوجد بها تكييف
لاشيء
Clean comfortable friendly felt safe.
Bit of an uphill walk from station. but there is a regular bus service.
The location was good and the staff were nice and respectful.
I was disappointed there was no restaurant breakfast, only a bag breakfast. I also had to pay £10 for parking, which was disappointing. There was only one plug socket in the room; more would be helpful. I booked two rooms and asked in advance for them to be next to each other. Staff said they would try their best, but when we arrived, one room was upstairs and the other was downstairs, far along the hallway. The WiFi was poor, it kept cutting off and was slow. The room next to us was very loud, and my kids couldn’t sleep because of the noise. The TV was old and did not have a subtitle option. I am deaf and need subtitles, so this was a real problem for me. Overall, I was not happy with this stay and won’t be booking this hotel again.
Cheap and cheerful
Very basic
Good price
Parking was £10 a day
الفندق تقريباً الى محطة القطار ربع ساعه نظيف وجيد وسعره مناسب بعض الغرف لايوجد بها تكييف
بعض موظفي الاستقبال ولم يسمحوا لي بتسجيل الدخول الا الساعه الثالثة مساءً
Je betaalt om je moto te parkeren achteraan….
Location
Walls had holes in them
Very friendly staff, good central location
Just a few extra clean cups that’s all
Location
Size of the room and narrow corridors
Very comfortable bed, nice shower and good location for the football
Very noisy tenants & when will we receive our Digital Boarding passes as we leave today? JC 🙏
15 mins walk from center, nice bathroom.
Bed with a very thin mattress, sofa and carpet very dirty and worn. There is no breakfast. It’s a paper bag with a juice in a carton a yogurt an apple and a croissant. This should not be advertised as breakfast. And parking is pay to stay.
