An ideal stay for a short trip to Newcastle. Very helpful and friendly staff. The room was as expected for what we paid: spacious and well laid out with tea/coffee facilities and a small fridge. It was a bit dated, but that didn’t affect our stay.
The pool was run-down and not worth the extra £5 to be able to use.

Friendly staff, comfortable bed, great breakfast - and a beautiful hotel, of course! The only issue was that the water in the shower was never hot - at tea time it was cold, and in the morning it was lukewarm.

Excellent value for money with superb amenities. The breakfast was fabulous, and the plunge pool was a real highlight. Customer service was outstanding throughout our stay, and the location couldn’t be more convenient. A truly enjoyable experience at the Royal Station Hotel.
