The B&B is ideally located in the heart of the bustling city center, just a stone's throw away from Grainger market. The rooms are cozy and secure with convenient lockers provided for personal items, a TV for entertainment, and a large window for fresh air. However, the pricing could be more competitive, given the value offered.

The hotel offers a good stay with clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a central location. However, the dining options could be improved, and additional charges for Wi-Fi may be a downside.

The rooms are clean and comfortable, but there weren't enough beds for our group. The TV and kitchen facilities were convenient, and the only downside was the location of the TV, only on the ceiling in the bedroom.

The hotel is in a prime location, right in the city centre and within walking distance of everything you might need for a quick trip to Newcastle. The rooms offer lockers for personal items and have convenient facilities such as Wi-Fi and a kitchen, although there weren't enough beds for our group. The service from the reception desk and housekeeping was excellent, but laundry service could be improved. Despite being on a main street, the hotel provides a quiet and comfortable stay.
