Nice hotel, friendly staff, strange room layout.
The chain on the door came straight off as it was attached to a lump of wood and wedged in the door slot, this wasn’t ideal with a 4 year old escapologist so made us all uneasy for the night. The hotel was clean, the location is great, parking wasn’t a problem at all, checking staff were helpful, only other issue was the upstairs then downstairs to get to the room as the layout is strange. But this was a trial run for next years Newcastle trip so overall I’d say a solid 7/10

Disappointed
Booked in the morning of arrival expecting all the amenities and nothing to say they weren’t available ,was trying to phone the hotel for an hour before arrival with no answer to enquire about parking , receptionist was surly and uninterested , asked about the pleasure facilities the reason for choosing that hotel , we arrived at 4pm and were told it closed at 5pm but you can’t get in after 4:30 so would have no time to use it , we called the pleasure club from the room and he said 5:30 but it was closed as they’d had a power cut ! Not mentioned online or at reception The room was tired and dirty around the furniture , there was stains on the quilt , the bed was comfortable but there was a lot of music noise coming from the main road , bar staff was lovely really friendly , and so where the security staff really are a credit to the hotel very polite and chatty , I’m very disappointed that this was supposed to be a relaxing night between Christmas and newyear and just ended up disappointing and irritating I’d like a refund as we didn’t get the service we paid for and unapologetic reception staff left a lot to be desired

It's a brilliant location but no measures are taken to prevent the rumbustious noise from the Newcastle night life towards which our room was facing. No secondary double glazing or similar. Hence, we had a very, very poor night's sleep.

I really wouldn’t know where to start but I was pleased to leave … awful dark gloomy room, pool wasn’t on which was the main reason for booking with my 5yrs old granddaughter… bath wouldn’t empty and plug release came off in my hand … dust everywhere just disappointed was hoping for a lovely night and not what we got

Good Hotel.
Was able to get checked in at 11, didnt have to wait till 3 which was good. Receptionist was friendly, helpful and knowledgeably. Room was good although carpet a little worn. Breakfast was good but a bit pricey at £15. Overall decent hotel which i will use again.

Front of hotel very noisy.
No issues with the internal hotel room or staff. We were at the front of the hotel, it got very noisy on a night time. To a point where we couldn’t sleep. Bottles constantly being binned, people shouting. The windows are only single glazed so doesn’t help with the outside noise. Would stay again but not at front of hotel. Hotel parking over Xmas was a pain.

Faded grandeur but great location and service
Positives: the location, the history, a beautiful building right in the heart of newcastle next to the station. Negatives: the rooms are decent but aren’t the best. I’ve stayed in a standard room which was extremely small and on my second visit I upgraded to a deluxe room which huge. But a bit noisy as it looked out to the train taxi drop off/pick up area. Both had terrible/no views but you’re in a city centre next to the train station so what do you expect? :) For me the convenience of the location won out. I also love the history and faded grandeur vibe of the hotel. For the second trip I was also delivering a course and the conference facilities and service was excellent.

I gave this a good only because of the reception staff especially Anna and Ben who were particularly kind and helpful. The hotel was a great location and had a gym which we used . But our room was dirty and not cleaned even when we put out the please do our room sign on our door. We only got refreshments coffee and tea etc on our first day and we were staying three nights . Our room was not cleaned and the beds were not made and we had to ask reception for toilet roll to be replenished , new towels and coffee and tea. Ur buns were spilling over in our room as they weren’t changed . The reception has to give us the things we needed and they did this and apologised politely to us and said they would report this about the house keeping problems . The reception staff made our stay lovely and helped us know where to go . Anna and Ben were superb at reception. We met Anna on the first day when we checked in . She was so friendly and helpful . I would come again gif this reason and would hope the house keeping staff would improve by the next time we come . We would be out all day hoping that our room had been cleaned when we returned but it was not everytime and they had gone by the time we were able to inform reception. Reception staff are your stars Royal Station hotel . Please reward them especially Anna and Ben . Thank you . We loved Newcastle
