Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Sijtje pleasant stay
We enjoyed our stay, but were quite disturbed bij the large number of ambulances/policealarms!!!
Also found that the fold-out bed made the room very small - would have been better to have twin beds.
The double-action door in the bathroom was a nice surprise: really inventive!
We would have preferred to have an earlier check-in time.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by PurpleAnt excellent customer service
excellent customer service, really forthcoming and helpful. clean room (a tad small for a tripple). surprisingly quiet for a busy stag/ hen hotel, but perfectly adequate for families too. very convenient for central station. special mention to staff member from Albuquerque (sorry, didnt get his name).

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by AnnaMay excellent staff and service
Nice spacious room with comfortable beds and well equipped bathroom. The staff was very friendly and a minor problem (faulty drainage of washbasin) quickly solved. Having the room available at an early hour was a pleasant extra.

We were there for the 1D concert, room was perfect, nice and comfy.
I've stayed here previously for work and been more than happy, good to see similar when I brought the family!
Handy for town, perfect for the Metro Arena, well recommended.

This an excellent hotel to stay in the staff are friendly and helpful.When we arrived just after 2pm our room was not ready but the staff said we could leave our bags with them but we decided to wait in the lounge and have a drink which we didn't have to pay for because of the room situation.Once we got to the room we found it spotless along with the rest of the hotel.The location is ideal as its only a couple of minutes on foot from the centre of Newcastle and the train station.The lounge is good as well as we came in after a long day to sit and have a drink.My husband especially liked that there was sky sports and my son liked that there was free wifi so that he could go on his iPad.Overall the hotel was great and would go back when visiting Newcastle again.The only thing was the size of the room when a family of four stays in there it would be really cramped but as there was only the 3 of us it was fine.

My wife and i recently stayed at this hotel when we visited the city to see Simple Minds play at the City hall. We chose this hotel because it was cheaper than its main rivals for that night. The location is good for arriving from rail or road and we would stay here again next time we visit Newcastle.

Simple and comfortable, with friendly staff and good location, with excellent Indian restaurant right next door!
The only thing that stopped me from relaxing was work!

This was a repeat stay at the HIE City Centre. We stayed there during a visit to Newcastle a couple of years ago and were pleased with our experience at that time, so decided to make a reservation there for this trip as well. The hotel staff were, as before, helpful and gracious, even making reservations for us at another HIE at a stop we decided to make at the last minute prior to returning to London. As before, our accommodations were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was substantial. Would definitely stay there again because of the central location, good value and excellent overall quality. Would also recommend without reservation.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by SwissTraveller Poor customer service & a bad night's sleep
We stayed in Room 509 recently and did not have a good night's sleep for two reasons:
1) Continuous noise. Despite having asked for a very quiet room when booking, there was a continuous humming noise throughout the night (a machine?) that led to us having a very distrurbed sleep. We were also disturbed by recurrent 'cracking' sounds (no idea of their origin).
2) Unsolicited wake-up call from hotel staff. To aggravate matters, we were woken just before 6 a.m. by a hotel staff member calling our room as a wake-up call that we had not requested - this was 2 hours earlier than we had intended to get up. No explanation or regrets were given by the hotel.
On top of this, the hotel demonstrated very poor customer service by not responding to the e-mail I sent afterwards to the Customer Feedback address (16 Feb.). Since Holiday Inn Express encourages customers to provide feedback, the least it could do would be to respond.

HIE City in the centre of Newcastle with the nearby car park free for overnight stop from 5pm to 8am. Great spot to take the opportunity to go on a journey of evening adventure to great restaurants nearby like Pinochio and Portofino. A warm relaxing Great Room with Free wifi

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by Tired13 Central location but avoid Fridays!
Great location - only a few minute from the train station and car hire depot. Other 'guests' - as the first question on check in was "are you part of a stag party?" it was obvious this hotel is popular with hen/stag parties - big downside was the large intimidating all male groups on stag parties dominating the bar/restaurant area and the shouting and screaming female 'guests' running a drunken rampage in the corridor outside my room at 0200 hours, 0345 hours and 0600 hours. A lack of sleep may suit the party guests but means I will unlikely book again for business travel.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Paolo1982 A nice hotel
The hotel is very nice. The room is wide, clean and comfortable.
The staff is very helpful and accommodating.
Some bad things:
1) A little noise coming from the light in the room (it was probably due to electrocute of a bulb)
2) The internet access in the room fee (£ 10 for 24 hours). But you can stay in the lobby where there is a bar open 24 hours and free wi-fi

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Becsy Cheap, clean and comfortable
I wanted somewhere for myself and my 3 children to stay in Central Newcastle that would be cheap, clean and comfortable. This hotel fitted the criteria and we weren't disappointed. It is very close to the Station even if we nearly walked past it (no map at the time!). To have breakfast included was a bonus and we all had sufficient to eat on both days.
Thanks!

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Krnhpkns Great location and friendly staff.
This was our overnight base for a midweek stay. The location was excellent and within walking distance for all local services including St James Park, the shops and the local museums.
The staff couldn't have been more helpful, friendly or accomodating. We would definitely stay there again.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by GordonJ Great location but needs a technical refresh
This hotel is in a great location - it's a short walk from either Newcastle Central (Rail and Metro) or St James (Metro) stations. Staff were friendly and helpful and there's an abundance of information in the attractive lobby. Had a fantastic nights sleep, and an excellent breakfast, but my stay was marred by a complete lack of entertainment. The TV in room turned off after a few minutes on, and leaving off for half an hour or so brought it back to life for a few minutes again. Anyway, thought I could live with movies on laptop and the Internet, maybe streaming, for the evening, but then couldn't locate any form of connection. Tried wireless first as hotel advertised as having complimentary wifi, but there was no signal at all in my room. As a last chance, tried the lead on the desk, clicked connect and was told I needed to select a package from the *zero* packages offered to me. Overall, great for sleeping, but when I extended my stay in Newcastle the following night, I chose another hotel.

Booked the Holiday Inn Express Newcastle for the 1st and 2nd of January for a reasonable price. Good location with multi-storey parking next door and very reasonable parking charges.
Room was not very large but fine for a couple of days. Buffet breakfast was included with decent choice and quality.
Would use the HI Express again.

Very enjoyable ,central for the station , China town and St James Park for the Toon army supporter.Enjoyable relaxing breakfast even after a double coach load of guests had left.
Only downside no arrangement with the council re parking and the inconvenience of having to get up early to feed the meter in the multi storey parking .

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Lambcruiser A great stay
Everything about our stay was good with one tiny exception, we had an access room and whilst the bathroom is huge and great for families, the interior of this bathroom was very tired. I got the feeling that it is not used that often and some of the fittings were hanging off the wall and it really was below par for HIE standards with respect to cleanliness. It could do with being refurbished frankly. Housekeeping on this floor seemed to be male, and without being intentionally sexist, it really needed a woman's eye for detail on the cleanliness front.
Other than that we had a geat stay. Staff were fab and you did the best scrambled eggs anywhere. We will definately stay here when we next come up to see Granddad.

Had a great week end the hotel was everything you needed clean rooms polite helpful staff, central for every thing in Newcastle parking was easy although there is a charge of £5 a day,
Free breakfast eat in the relaxing lounge read the free papers with a cuppa. Have a late nightcap at the lounge bar before lights out what more could you ask.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Emma85 Friendly staff and great room
On arrival staff were extremely friendly and explained the parking situation. Room was clean and bed comfy. Although quite compact, for the 2 nights we stayed the space was perfect. Fresh towels both days, our kettle was faulty as it kept switching itself on, but staff corrected that within a few hours.
Breakfast was included and was adequate, a choice of hot or cold served buffet style we filled up for the day ahead.
I've stayed in a few hotels and only for 1-2 nights and I would say this is one of the best. Both night and day staff were friendly, from barmen in the evning to the kitchen staff serving breakfast. Very central to city centre 5-10min walk to town shopping! Overall an enjoyable pleasant stay.

The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The hotel couldn't have been in a better location for us, short walk to city centre, train station, theatre and bars. The rooms were modern and clean, however my only issue was the room smelt of urine but that will not put us off staying again.
