Maldron Hotel Newcastle

"Very nice hotel in a central location"

Dakota Newcastle

10/10 Excellent

"Parking was in a disconnected garage across a street and behind the building. Drop off bags at the front before heading to parking which is uphill and at least 200 yards away if not further. Hotel is accessed via a private road so our gps expressed an alert about that but there was no restriction on driving it. Drive to airport was very convenient and about 20 minutes. Convenient gas station access along the route."

"Overall a brilliant hotel, right by the station and well located for everything. Reasonably quiet room despite overlooking a main road. Breakfast was a good selection, we are there in the evening a couple of times and it was lovely. Front desk happy to look after luggage which is a huge plus The room we were in had obviously had some repairs - patched up hole in the bath and a usable but cracked sink - so could do with a refresh. Beds were comfortable, roomy enough for a couple of days. Leisure facilities small but nice - had a lovely swim. Overall would recommend and would consider returning if back in the area."
