Reviews of County Hotel by Thistle, Newcastle - formerly Thistle Newcastle, Newcastle Upon Tyne

Posted by Nicola (2009-08-04)

For a one-night stay it was adequate - for a longer stay I would have requested a change of room.

Hotel very centrally located. Staff generally friendly and helpful.

My (single) room was small and not especially inviting. There was a lingering smell of what could have been tobacco smoke from a previous occupant. My bill was initially incorrectly calculated although immediately, and apologetically, corrected when I pointed this out.

No complaints, but ��99 per night for a single room is expensive, considering other hotels I have stayed in with similar standards/facilities, have been much cheaper.

Nothing outstandingly good.

Nothing particularly bad.

Perfect location, opposite Railway station & Metro. BT Openzone WiFi in room.

Room small, with opaque window, so no view of the outside world. Bathroom floor tiles broken.

clean, warm and considering it's position by the station really quiet.

Overpriced for standard of room but good location.

Excellent location and pleasant reception staff

Tiny room up one flight of stairs and down another (after the lift ride to 2nd floor). No bar fridge. Cleaner entered room before 9am and made lots of noise in corridor even though check out was not till 12 noon. If I booked again I would ask for superior room.

Despite the above, the manager was very apologetic on us checking out and refunded our breakfast cost.The staff were very helpful looking after our cases.

Very clean and fresh looking.

We were waiting an hour for a meal in the restaurant despite continually asking and saying we were going to a concert. Only offered one drink during that time. The room was very very hot and we could not open a window.
