Newcastle station hotel excellent staff and food

2 night break in Newcastle for walking and shopping. Cup winners celebrated. St Patrick’s Day too. Staff were so helpful and friendly. Breakfast and Dinner superb. Bar nice and cozy. Bedroom overlooked the Main Street and bars and it was noisy but earplugs soon kept out the revellers songs.Location was perfect at the station and só handy for transport and the Riverside walk. Excellent value for money for 2 retired ladies it was perfect.
