10/10 Excellent

"Lovely room. Breakfast was amazing"

Crystalbrook Kingsley

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect position for our reason to visit the art gallery Great breakfast selection but coffee not great"

Best Western Plus Apollo Hotel Newcastle

8/10 Good

"Very nice, well maintained. Improvements needed on the breakfast supplied. The hot food left alot to be desired but easily fixed Scrambled egg, had a green tinge because the eggs had been in the warmer to long. This is rectified by replacing the eggs every hour. I observed the kitchen staff pouring new hot food on top of the old product. This would be more professional if the complete dish was removed from the warmer and replaced with the new dish containing the new product."
