Ramada Encore Newcastle
Pros:

The hotel itself is fine. Great staff, very friendly and helpful. Good location, especially when arriving by car. Alas, I was charged twice for the room, and am still waiting for this error to be resolved. Whether this was due to a glitch with Hotels.com or the hotel is a good question.

Ok but probably won't go back
Pros:

Check in was slow as only 1 person on the desk. Breakfast was ok at best. Shower gel in the bathroom had run out.
Hotel is a little out of the way and £10 parking is not cheap

Better then expected
Pros:

I booked this hotel as way cheaper than any other in newcastle for a saturday night.
Paid approx £55 for room which is very cheap for newcastle.
It actually on gateshead side of quay but a only a few minute walk down to foot bridge and your over in to newcastle.
Be warned its a big steep bank up to central newcastle .
Loads everywhere in newcastle pubs restaurants and history.
Hotel is really good clean, smart and room wes great even had a iron and board which is great for a budget hotel.
Never ate or drank in hotel so cant comment on those but if your looking for a cheap n cheerful hotel close enough to everything tgen i suggest the ramada.

Walking distance to Newcastle quayside
Pros:

Nice rooms, friendly staff and good breakfast. However, the hotels online check in system resulted in me being charged twice, although I received an apology and a refund when I pointed this out

Pros:

Stayed here one night to attend a concert at the Arena in Newcastle . I had booked it quite well in advance and was a bit dubious about some of the reviews . I can honestly say we had an enjoyable stay . Hotel was spotless , staff were friendly , the room was on the 3rd floor , had everything we needed , iron , hairdryer and coffee & tea making facilities . Parking was ample and at £10 a night good value compared to over the river . I would definitely recommend.

Pros:

A simple hotel, which is reflected in the prices. For what it is, I could not fault it. It is within easy walking distance of the attractions of Gateshead, and for me, on a bicycle, it was within 10 minutes of the centre of Newcastle

Pros:

Hotel is convenient, 5-7 min walk to all dining options by the river, but hotel itself are very basic rooms are on the smaller side and there is no AC and windows only open like a small slit which does not even ventilate the room properly, and on warmer days it is even worse, the hotel thankfully provided a small fan which helped a little
