Attitude woman receptionist
The lady receptionists was rude when i booked in when my colleagues had already booked in the day before and spoken with Micky to confirm when i arrived to meet with my friends the women said that nothing is had been arranged
When we spoke with Micky who was very professional sorted it out
Thanks for Micky our stay was wonderful

Excellent base in Newcastle city centre.
Very friendly staff. Room was compact but very nice. I did find the ac a little confusing and would have liked more light in the room and an outlet for charging on both sides of the bed, but minor quibbles.

Aug 7, 2024
I had the worst experience to stay in holiday inn Newcastle the room was booked for family of 4 and a baby. But the room we were given with one double bed and one sofa bed and given cot for us to setup ourselves but the room size was so small that even with the sofa bed there was barely any space to walk without banging into table or chair my son hit his head twice with the table as the sofa bed was extended underneath the table and we couldn't use cot as there was absolutely no space where we can fit that thing. In the morning breakfast was already finished and not refilled and was told that it's finished and they can't give us any. If you travelling with family definitely not the hotel for you. The only good things was all restaurants were nearby but my trip was ruined anyways so wasn't even interested in that.
