Close to sea, lovely big room with sofa and free parking. Excellent bathroom with separate shower and full size bath. Lots of storage space. Quick run by car into city centre and buses stop outside plus I believe the metro is nearby.
Would definitely recommend this hotel and I will stay again for sure.

Guest UserThe Embassy Hotel in Gateshead is a good value hotel and we had breakfast included. The breakfast was continental style with Instant porridge, a little watery, fruit, coffee and fruit juice. You could have a Pan Chocolat or a cereal bar instead. It filled a gap and saved having to spend more.
The room was good and we got a double bed and three quarter double. I slept very well and my wife liked the other bed too. The bathroom and shower worked well and you get shampoo and soap thrown in. TV is around 30 inches with Freeview type channels. There were two chairs on the room but only one bedside table. We used a chair for another one.
It would have been useful to have a fan in the room as the rooms seem quite warm, even with the window open. There is a themostate on the wall but it's not clear if it does anything. In winter there is an electric heater. There are bi sockets near the bed, so be aware of that fir charging. You can buy snacks at reception should you rush and there is a pub restaurant next door, which opens after 11 am. .
One good thing us that there gs plenty of free parking but it gets fuller in the evening, due to pub customers. We didn't have an issue and it's nice to find free parking as many hotels now charge for this.
Sleep was great, shower was great too basic over a bath but responded well to temperature changes. Towels soft bit scratchy.
We gave said three times and there are some good deals to be found it you need to be in the Newcastle Area. There is the Metro Centre about a mile down the road if you don't get breakfast with Ihea and McDonald's etc, so you won't starve.
The hotel itself is in a very good location just a minute off the A1 if you're heading further into Northumberland or down South towards London direction.
The staff are very helpful and we checked in without an issue. If you ordered, and received breakfast from another site, not Best Western, make sure you show them the invoice including breakfast. Next time I think I would go to ZUkea for breakfast as it's good to have but not worth paying extra for, unless you want a bacon bap.

Guest UserI am a Marriot rewards member and have been for a number of years. Hotel is ideal location for what we wanted. Staff very welcoming and always were polite.
My only issue was that whilst booking I always request a room away from lift. I was given a room directly at lift. Further issues were hot water did not work, telephone light continually flashing all night and no drinking water or fridge was in room. I highlighted this to reception and was told they were unaware of any of these issues. The following morning I again spoke to reception and this time I am very pleased to say that the receptionist, Meghan, took ownership of this. She searched rooms available and was able to re-allocate me to another room with no issues. Rest of our 4 day stay went without a hitch due to excellent service from Meghan.
Last note, why is it less expensive to book through a 3rd party rather than direct with hotel?

manchester to newcastleHelpful friendly staff at reception
Good location.
The bathroom in my room had an unpleasant odour, smell, possibly the pipes from the toilets, was clean but the smell was very unpleasant. Bathroom needs ripping out & updating & new pipes for toilet. Not good for light sleepers like myself - can hear drunks outside & people outside at night. The train going past on the bridge is a lil noisy & the guests in other room made noise. Comfy bed & nice sized room & view. Hard working housekeepers who do an EXCELLENT job 💫💫💫 Good value for money.

Eddie GalvinThe staff were very helpful, professional & friendly. My room was excellent just the job. The fruit tea was great and so was the bathroom, tv and lighting. I went to a gig in Gateshead at the Central. It would also be excellent for the Glasshouse. I look forward to staying again.

Guest UserMyself and my partner stayed at this hotel for 3 days. When I booked it, I never realised it had one part at one side and the other part across the street. If you book your standard rooms your hotel is across the road. The standard double room was 'cosy'. There wasnt a great deal of space but we were out the majority of the time so it was fine just for a place to sleep. The location is good, definitely a student area and the hotel offer earbuds for the noise. We stayed through the week and being honest we didnt find it that loud and most places were closed and quiet for no later than midnight. I do imagine it would be very different staying at the weekend. We used west Jesmond metro to get to and from the city centre, the hotel is about a 8 minute walk from the metro, the are very frequent also, so all in I think it took no more than 15 mins to get right into the city centre. So the room in general was ok, our room had a bit of a smell coming from the drains, which wasnt very nice so we had to buy a spray for the room. The main issue with the room and the hotel is the heat!! It has just been 28 degrees in newcastle and outside was cooler than the room. We bought chocolate and it melted in a cupboard. They do give you a fan but being honest, it did nothing. The window was also small so no air really got in from that either. It made for a few uncomfortable nights sleep! Overall the cleanliness was ok but just far to warm.

Guest UserThe location is excellent, directly opposite Newcastle train station. The day before, I stayed at the Hampton next door. The price increased significantly the next day, so I moved to this one, which had a stable price. However, it was really bad, and I advise my fellow countrymen to be cautious about staying here.
The room itself matched the merchant's photos. The bathroom was generally spacious, but there was a significant waste of space. It shouldn't have been designed like this after a renovation. I've never seen such a ridiculously designed sink; the faucet is too close to the basin, so simply washing your hands causes water to spill all over the floor. There's also no floor drain in the bathroom, so we had to cover the entire floor with towels.
Also, a £50 deposit is required upon check-in, authorized via credit card. Other hotels usually release it immediately upon checkout. I specifically asked when checking out, and they said it would take 'a few days.' I don't understand why. I waited a week and it still wasn't refunded. After Ctrip customer service intervened, it was immediately refunded. Truly outrageous.
Personally, I think as long as the Hampton by Hilton next door isn't more than 50% more expensive, I'd still recommend staying at the Hampton. It has better facilities, includes breakfast, and the service is better. Don't come here to be annoyed.

Obviously a location closer to the beach would be ideal, but all the rest is great. Good rooms, good breakfast, and mostly amazing gym facilities (several large rooms, swimming pool as well)

The stair carpet is so dirty and feels like a small hotel. The door lock is a bit damaged and looks unsafe. The bar downstairs is lively until 12 o'clock. I can't sleep well. The accommodation experience is not very good. The price is not high.
