I was very happy staying at The Grainger Hotel again. Incidentally i have stayed at The Grainger Hotel on numerous occasions. If i need to be in Newcastle not far from Town i always choose The Grainger Hotel as i know it makes perfect sense to do so. The single room with en-suite was immaculate & well presented. The bed was very comfortable & i slept well. The amenities provided at the Grainger Hotel are very good in my view. The Grainger Hotel provides me with great value for my money & is a fantastic Hotel in my view. I have NEVER had a problem whilst staying at The Grainger Hotel to date thankfully. Finally i will certainly stay at The Grainger Hotel again & i shall be recommending The Grainger to all & sundry afterall.

I enjoyed my two night stay at The Grainger Hotel. The room i stayed in with en-suite was immaculate & well presented. Incidentally i have stayed in this particular room previously & was very happy upon learning i was staying in the same room again. I found peace in this room previously, i was able to relax & unsurprisingly i slept very well. The amenities provided at The Grainger Hotel are very good & satisfy me. The staff are both friendly & helpful at The Grainger Hotel. Furthermore i have NEVER had one single problem when i have stayed at The Grainger Hotel to date which is very pleasing upon reflection. Finally & in conclusion The Grainger Hotel is a great Hotel that offers guests exceptional value for their money. I will definitely stay at The Grainger Hotel in the future & i shall certainly recommend The Grainger Hotel to all & sundry afterall.

This stay was very poor and uncomfortable. I had a unexpected fee for parking which wasn’t mentioned on the booking and the room was uncomfortable and in disrepair

Friendly staff and close to the city for the price. Shower didn't work properly and parking is just on the neighbouring streets.

The room where I lodged was dirty, smelly and mouldy. The tap in the bathroom were not working. The room was freezing and the staff could do nothing to help. I couldn’t even have a bath because I was scared of germ. I managed to survive the one night I spent there. Can’t recommend them.

Polite and friendly staff, unfortunately they don't serve food but we're happy for me to order in from some of the many restaurants located on the same road. Clean room with en suite shower and toilet. Very good value for the money.

Resold my room

I booked hotel for the Great North Run. Due to travelling a distance, I confirmed in the morning that I could check in m, in the evening. This was agreed as not a problem. On arrival at 21:30, I was told I had to stay elsewhere. Information about the accommodation was sketchy, but I worked this out to be student accommodation on the other side of town. Staff stated this was due to a power cut. I checked the national grid website; this clearly showed no issues. After about an hour of discussing, it was clear that the room I had booked had been given away. Speaking to another ‘guest’, the same has happened to them. Eventually I was given a room at the top of the building, probably a staff room. Oddly, I was also asked to give £10 in cash as a deposit. The same other guest was not asked… I felt unsafe throughout my stay. I would not recommend and will not be staying again.

I saw the awful room said no. Was shown an equally awful room and told as I had booked online no cancellation was allowed. I tried contacting Expedia on the app and got nowhere. The rooms I saw were not acceptable to be called hotel. Hostel rooms maybe. Really disappointed with Expedia for having this on their site. You cannot be listening to customers. I had checked the reviews on site on saw 7 and 10 . Don't know where they stayed but not in the same place I feel.

Possibly the worst hotel I have ever been in EVER!

Possibly the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Staff were friendly enough but this hotel is a dilapidated, run down, uncared for place. 1. Rain ingress through the window frame. In room 204, the bed is directly under the window, so being woken up by dripped on (which soon became worse) was not pleasant experience. So much so that I had to move the bed and set up water collection where the rain was coming through. Pictures below. 2. Damaged electrical sockets 3. Carpet had been burnt in places 4. No wardrobe 5. No Chair to use as chairdrobe 6. There was a chest of draws, but filthy 7. Loo roll holder MIA 8. Holes where things have clear be broken off 9. TV had crack right across the screen 10. Mattress was knackard, with springs making for an uncomfortable nights sleep (on top of being woken by rain ingress) If I hadn't been so worn out from the travel and Great North Run, I'd have left. If I could offer anybody reading this some advise, consider the points above before booking
Signs something used to be here
Loo roll holder missing presumed stolen
Electrical socket not safely mounted
We'll just cover everything in Polyfilla, that will make it safe
