Not a Hotel, more of a room at the back of a pub with no breakfast facilities. (hostel)
Pros:

The room was big.

Cons:

access was through a tatty old outside stair case and the room was like a shed built onto of the garage, room was creaky and you could hear everything Fromm anyone coming up the stairs to doors being open on the adjacent room, and when people moved in the room next door the floors creaked very loudly.

Not a hotel as there are no staff on site, but cheap digs with a comfy bed.
Pros:

My bedroom was clean and the bed was comfortable with clean bedding and pillows. The furniture was otherwise basic, but there was a television and a kitchen area. The ensuite was clean and modern. Located in Jesmond, close to beautiful Jesmond Dene.

Cons:

Not really a hotel - room to let would be better description. Although you sent instructions about how to get into the building if arriving late, it was not at all welcoming to have to let yourself in with a keycode through a back door in a garage where there was not even a sign to say that this was the entrance to the New George Hotel. Fortunately, one of the bar staff from downstairs was leaving as I arrived and was able to reassure me and show me to the key-safes. Quite bizarre having to get your room key from two rows of key-safes on the wall of a dingy corridor. There was a weird musty smell in the corridors and stairwells as I went upstairs, and the Yale lock on my bedroom door did not feel at all secure. From reading reviews, I see that some people have had a terrible stay at the George, and I can see why this happens, as if there is any difficulty with access, plumbing, lighting, security etc, you're on your own and there is no-one to help. I was lucky that all went smoothly for me, but I would be hard pushed to recommend it to anyone.

Scary
Pros:

Location.
My husband in Freeman's hospital so a ten minute uber ride.
Tesco Waitrose Greg's pizza shop close by.

Cons:

This is not a hotel.
It's rooms above a bar.
No receptionist.
No one at all.
Self check in
The bar staff below the accommodation were amazing and helpful.
A woman on her own with no idea how 2 check in contacted owner and helped me to check in.
Key boxes.
Room itself was clean.
Shower freezing.
My ultimate concern as a lone traveller was safety.
Fire escape outside of a large window with no lock.
I felt vulnerable.
If you are on your own I wud not recommend a stay here.

Hijacked prices for poor conditions - at least the bed was comfy
Pros:

The bed was clean and comfortable

Cons:

In my room, the windows in the bathroom and bedroom did not close or lock. The toilet cistern ran non stop and the shower taps did too, the bathroom door would not fully close to block it out. The bedroomblind, ceiling and walls were dirty. The microwave was disgusting. There was a bad smell throughout the hotel of mold/damp.
My brothers room above the bar was so noisy the floor vibrated.
