Maureen, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

At the moment there are scaffold on the outside, it didn't affect my stay. Hotel was well situated for the front and a short walk to the bars. I would consider staying here again.

Great location .whitley Bay is the best place
Mark, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I spent one night whilst visiting a friend and the hotel was absolutely ideal. Fantastic location on the beach front. All of the staff were friendly, the room was a decent size and very clean. Bathroom was also a good size with a powerful shower and extremely clean. It's a touch on the old side and is currently being renovated but honestly for the price it exceeded all expectations. The breakfast is genuinely superb as a particular highlight.

RICHARD, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Excellent staff and service throughout, property feels a bit run down though. Hoping the current construction carries through to the inside as it will be an amazing place if it could modernise and clean up a bit.
Tyler, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The rooms need updating very tired shame because it is in a ideal location
Colin, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Great location, but it's so tired and tatty inside. No sound proofing, ancient carpet, mattress and bathroom. It is being refurbished, maybe they'll actually invest some money in the facilities. The staff were really helpful, it's not their fault the owners haven't invested over the years.

Decent Bolt Hole in Costa Del Whitley Bay

I have stayed in this hotel many times. The staff are great and friendly. Breakfast is great. The Rooms are good; it's just the stairs that prevents a 5* (All Round) Rating. They are steep. Location wise it is perfect for me and even 4 decent Takeaways/Restaurant's within 5 minutes walk.
Simon, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

Exterior of hotel was being refurbished so there was scaffolding outside window and sea view was restricted. The room was on the third floor and there was a complicated route of several stairways to get to it. Room was large and clean but bathroom needs refurbishing. Food from the breakfast buffet was tepid/cold.

Awful
Mrs, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Nothing royal about the hotel which is being refurbished throughout 2025. It really needs it as everything is old, so thank you for doing it. However, you need to put it on Expedia and other websites! There are scafolding everywhere and the only rooms available are at the back overlooking dirty streets and roofs and pigeons! everwhere! The staff is the best - very helpful!
