Guest Ratings & Reviews

Real Guest Experiences & Ratings
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Holiday Inn Express Newcastle City Centre is conveniently located near the station and just a short walk from the city centre and attractions like the football stadium. Guests often find the rooms spacious, clean, and equipped with essentials such as an iron and ironing board, and they appreciate the powerful shower. The breakfast offers a good variety of both cooked and continental options, though some guests have found the lighting in the rooms to be less than ideal for tasks like ironing. many feel it provides excellent value for money, especially given the proximity to Central Station and the city's amenities.

Check-in and check-out were fast and efficient. a comfy bed contributed to a relaxing stay.
