Hampton by Hilton Newcastle

Having read some of the less favourable reviews of this hotel we were a bit worried, but we didn't need to be. Central location, just across from Central Station and near bars, shops and Metro. The Staff were helpful (no quibbles when I requested a room away from the lifts), clean & spacious room, comfy bed & good shower. There was plenty to choose from at breakfast. The soundproofing in the room was really good, so the fact that the hotel is located in a busy area was not an issue. It was good that the hotel had its own little bar area & drink prices were reasonable.

Excellent location if travelling by train and they have secure storage for luggage which was very helpful for us. Comfortable and clean room. I liked the city centre view. We were on a fairly high floor and were not disturbed by any noise outside or inside. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was pretty good with a large selection.

Location is perfect for those travelling by train as literally over the road. The breakfast buffet was much better than expected with an excellent selection in all categories. One always worries that the hot food will suffer from staying too long in the buffet bar, but this was not the case. I booked a room with the walk in shower, as being elderly and find walking a little difficult sometimes , it is needed . I was very happy. Also on check in was asked if there were any mobility problems and one of the staff took details so that in the event of fire , I knew the procedure so that assistance could be given . I thought this superb ! It is in the heart of the city which is very crowded , but I didn`t ( 4th floor ) find noise a problem.

The great thing about this hotel is it's straight across from the main railway station and also has a metro station right outside too. The staff who were on that day and evening of the 27th May were excellent and very helpful. We arrived early and the young girl said she had a room ready on the seventh floor, it was great as we were nice and quiet up there ( no street noise ) It's just a short walk towards the shopping centre The breakfast was plentiful and lots of choices. I would definitely stay here again and I've already recommended it to people and friends.

Good location to Central Station, town, restaurants, Quayside area. Room clean, quiet despite being very busy and lots of people outside, on 6th floor didn’t hear anything other than a couple of doors shutting. Good waffle machine! Breakfast staff chatty and friendly.
