Delta Hotels by Marriott Newcastle Gateshead
Staff very friendly and helpful. Food in restaurant was really good. Room too warm for us personally even with window open. Bathroom fixtures (bath/shower fittings) could do with being updated/modernised. Overall pleasant stay.

Malmaison Newcastle
Hotel was nice but i booked a room for 2 adulds and 1 child. When we arrived we were told we had to pay an extra £30 for a bed for my child! I spent more that i anticipated! I was told the 10 year can share a king size bed with 2 adults, we would not have got any sleep!

Lumley Castle Hotel
Really didn't enjoy our stay. The room was dirty especially around the windows and in poor state of repair with multiple chips in the basin. We had to climb a very old spiral staircase to get to the room which would be an issue for anyone with mobility issues. Finally we were given a choice of breakfast ...
