Really clean & lovely freshly refurbished room, bed was so comfortable. Lovely breakfast & fantastic friendly staff.
The facilities are fairly basic but that’s reflected in the price; this hotel is a great value option

Lovely place sea view big room. Very clean and nice breakfast very helpful. Children loved it lots of fun 😀
The staff were super helpful- above and beyond. They even remembered why we were in town the next day. They work hard! The same ladies who handle the front desk handled breakfast. The ocean view was great. We arrived at low tide and were so surprised to wake up after a nap and find how much higher the water was. We're planning return trips.
Thanks for making our one night in Whitley Bay a great night!
Clean room, comfortable bed,good breakfast.

Hotel undergoing refurbishment and it needs it. Decor and carpets tatty. Beds shocking. Staff were friendly and it was clean. Breakfast plentiful. Checked out after first night and stayed elsewhere. Waved goodbye to £150 for the lost nights
