The staff were nice and the full English breakfast was good. The hotel is undergoing renovation - I'm sure it will be lovely when it's done but right now it's noisy with dark, very basic rooms.

The hotel is excellent value for money. Walking distance for many venues. Walk-in shower was great. Yes the room needs updating, however everything was absolutely spotless. Will definitely stay again.

It was nicely situated on the spotlessly clean promenade The staff were very helpful. The breakfast was excellent - nice rashers and sausages. It was being renovated so there was hoarding around the outside, but that did not bother me. Rooms being renovated with sea view looked as if they will be really nice. Room 13 was spacious with a nice clean bathroom. Would stay here again.

This hotel is a 200 year old building and it really felt like it needed painting everywhere. We stayed in a superior twin room, the beds were not comfortable and the bathroom did not feel clean. Saying this all the staff were amazing and could not do enough for you. My mum needed extra blankets on the first night and they were brought to us straight away. The continental breakfast was really good as was the food in the restaurant.

At the moment there are scaffold on the outside, it didn't affect my stay. Hotel was well situated for the front and a short walk to the bars. I would consider staying here again.

I spent one night whilst visiting a friend and the hotel was absolutely ideal. Fantastic location on the beach front. All of the staff were friendly, the room was a decent size and very clean. Bathroom was also a good size with a powerful shower and extremely clean. It's a touch on the old side and is currently being renovated but honestly for the price it exceeded all expectations. The breakfast is genuinely superb as a particular highlight.

The location of the hotel us perfect for The Spanish City and the beach. The hotel is under renovation and it looks closed. Reception is old and outdated. The staff are nice and helpful. Rooms are ok, bedding was clean and the sea view was great. Breakfast was standard buffet. The breakfast staff are very nice. If they are also renovating the rooms, this will be a fab place. But, at the moment, its ok. Parking is approx 8 or 9 spaces at he front on a first come first served basis. We were lucky to grab a space.

Excellent staff and service throughout, property feels a bit run down though. Hoping the current construction carries through to the inside as it will be an amazing place if it could modernise and clean up a bit.

Great location, but it's so tired and tatty inside. No sound proofing, ancient carpet, mattress and bathroom. It is being refurbished, maybe they'll actually invest some money in the facilities. The staff were really helpful, it's not their fault the owners haven't invested over the years.

Decent Bolt Hole in Costa Del Whitley Bay

I have stayed in this hotel many times. The staff are great and friendly. Breakfast is great. The Rooms are good; it's just the stairs that prevents a 5* (All Round) Rating. They are steep. Location wise it is perfect for me and even 4 decent Takeaways/Restaurant's within 5 minutes walk.

Exterior of hotel was being refurbished so there was scaffolding outside window and sea view was restricted. The room was on the third floor and there was a complicated route of several stairways to get to it. Room was large and clean but bathroom needs refurbishing. Food from the breakfast buffet was tepid/cold.
