No lift to room. 4 flights of stairs. Room was hot and stuffy (stayed in December) and tired. Very average room. Breakfast was ok, server had no idea about coeliac and gluten free options. This isn’t acceptable and was surprising as most places now very aware of allergens etc. Our daughter ended up with a limited choice and still charged full price. When we checked out the receptionist didn’t ask how our stay was or show any interest. We didn’t even get a goodbye. Wouldn’t stay here again

Although this is a convenient hotel for Gateshead and especially the Metro Centre, it is very dated. There is no customer lift and quite steep stairs to climb with a suitcase if you are on the second floor which we were. The staff are nice and helped me get my suitcase down when we were checking out through the service lift. However, this is quite a dated hotel with basic amenities and not a place you would go stay at for a treat.
