I felt like a lot of the female staff members looked unfriendly and unapproachable and barely smiled which wasn't pleasant, only one who came across really lovely and pleasant was the young guy, unfortunately didn't catch his name but he was very helpful and friendly.

**June 2022: Weekend Visit**…read more The Hotel Indigo is a spectacular hotel. The room itself is extremely stylish and modern and I had a comfortable stay. Pros *The bed was the perfect firmness, and the blanket was a down one - so super comfortable! *I loved the shower! The water pressure is robust and the hot water is pippin hot. Additionally they have two shower heads - a traditional side one that detaches and you can direct the water, and a waterfall head, which was heavenly! They also provide both shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash, and there's a speaker in the bathroom so if you're listening to the tv you can hear everything loud and clear. *Breakfast was devine. Guest's need to make reservations in advance and it's booked in 30 minute increments. During my stay the 8:30 time slot was full, but I was able to get a 8am one. There's a cold bar with meats, cheese, bread, fruit, and a yogurt/granola station. For beverages they had juice and smoothies! I was already impressed with the buffet and didn't know that guests could also order hot items a la cart. I decided on eggs benedict and it was just what I need to fuel me up for the day! *Pretty good range of channels for the tv, but and I'm not sure if this is region specific not I didn't see a travel channel, but they did have the food channel! Cons *You need to bring your key everywhere because there are sections of the building and elevator where you need to scan it to access other areas. This was very foreign to me so I looked really dumb not understanding what so many sections of the building looked locked. Additionally, I got lost several times. It's not a traditional long hallway, but instead many different sections - so if you're directionally challenged this might be difficult *At least in my room there were a couple of lights that couldn't turn on or I couldn't figure out how to turn it on, and there's no light to shine on the whole room, only small lights for certain sections, but not the main sleeping area. Summary Overall, I really enjoyed my stay but a couple of things were annoyances so unfortunately, I couldn't give it a perfect score. Nevertheless, I had the most glorious showers here.

If you're after a river view from your room then this is one of the places to stay, being situated…read moreright on the Tyne, much closer in fact and it would be in it. The staff are friendly and you can get wifi free with a code from them at reception, it changes daily so you have to make sure that you get the most up to date bit of paper/coupon. The rooms are clean, spacious and bright the bathroom has a bath thats more of a deep shower tray, but it will do at a push, and the shower worked quite nicely. It's location is perfect if you want to wander along to the quayside and the pubs, restaurants etc, if you don't want to go far then there is a 'spoons next door that does pitchers of cocktails for a fiver, and they will look at you strangely if you reply to the question 'how many glasses do you want' with 'just a straw will do'....

The location of this hotel is great! It is in the Quayside area, overlooking the Tyne river. Within walking distance to lots of restaurants, pubs, bars, Grey Street, the Metro train station, shopping centres. Also very close to the castle keep. If running is your thing, great running paths very close. I ran around downtown area, only 1/2 mile of so away. Also took a jog along the Tyne...there is a boardwalk/ pathway for bikes/ walking/ jogging. Also, there is a spa and fitness center within the hotel...I didn't visit it, but the hotel has one. The fitness center closes relatively early (9PM)... wish it would have stayed open later or 24 hr. The restaurant is decent, full bar, wide variety of breakfast items. 24 hour room service. Food was a bit expensive and breakfast was £14 if not included in the room rate. My room overlooked the river, great view (I booked a room under 'River view', they had other types of rooms to choose from). The room was clean, spacious. Had a tv, coffee/tea maker, blowdryer, ironing board, refrigerator, small table, desk. Front desk service was great, no complaints. On the last day, I checked out early and they were able to store my luggage all day while I trekked around Newcastle. Ride to the airport cost approx £10. I did not have a car, however, there is a car park available. Not sure of the rates. I would definitely recommend staying here... would stay here again myself if/when I'm back in the area.

I've stayed at this hotel once, but I've frequented their bar and spa quite a few times. The room…read moreis excellent, lovely furnished with a great flatscreen lcd on the wall; although, I did have trouble with their shoddy remote control. The bathroom was sweet with a lovely shower; but, I did miss having body lotion. Frankly, with an amazing Spa in the hotel, I think more luxury products would be given to entice guests to the Spa. This hotel would get FIVE STARS if not for a few mistakes, that can only be chalked up to mediocre hotel management, excluding their elevator that makes a horrible noise as if it's going to detach and plunge me to my death (please fix that). First of all, there is no access to ice machines, or ice bucket in your room. You must visit the bar for both. You could probably call it up, but that is always a hassle. People at the bar seem like they're forced to be nice to you, but if could have been a bad day. I'd stay at this hotel again and again. I highly recommend it, if not for the tiny fixes to make it a FIVE STAR. The towel warming rack in the bathroom is a nice touch. Please fix the elevator. Lastly, the worst trait of this hotel is the waiter staff during breakfast in the restaurant. My girlfriend and I waited so long for our coffee, tea, and toast that it had to be reordered. Suddenly the reorder comes to our table with black tea instead of green tea. Within seconds later, after a half hour of waiting our original order comes. The waitress is completely confused. In this time, we already ate the self-serve part of our breakfast. Completely and utterly ruined. Still, I would return.

There are loads of bars and restaurants nearby, and it's a 15 minute walk to the city centre (there is also a Quayside electric bus which takes you to the centre, or you can take a taxi from outside the hotel). Now on to the interior...I just love it! It's dark and sensual with a lot of purples. The rooms are spacious, and the suites are fantastic: luxurious comfort is how I would describe it. And those beds?! Amazing night's sleep. My husband is American and it's traditional to host a Rehearsal Dinner before your wedding. We held this is a private dining area in the brasserie and from all the planning to the actual event, I could not have had better service. The food is all made on site by the chef and his/her team, and it was delicious. The spa is really adorable, and a lovely place to come and relax. We had a couple's massage. The staff were extremely professional and I loved chilling out in the relaxation room. 5/5 for everything about this place. We had such a great experience from start to finish.

The room was of a vintage style, yet with modern creature comforts so that you're left without wanting. Free WiFi is included in the rate, as well as a breakfast bag to wake up to in the morning. The landlady was really nice and friendly too, which makes a fantastic difference. Recommended!

Breakfast every morning was a treat with the buffet option of a cooked breakfast and continental breakfast. There is also a menu option with eggs benedict, eggs royale etc that you can't get at the buffet. All options are delicious and they even give you a little paper bag that you can put some fruit, muffins and pastries in to take away for your lunch! The spa facilities are quite good, the gym is slightly on the small side but still useable. Lovely swimming pool, jacuzzi and steam room with friendly staff. I had one dinner here in their Hawthorne restaurant, and it was one of the best meals I think I've had in a hotel! To start with I had rabbit popcorn which was well seasoned, moist and extremely tasty and for my first try of rabbit, I was impressed! For mains I had a venison burger with chips. The venison burger was literally one of the best I have ever had! I asked for it to be cooked medium and it was cooked too perfection! Not too red but juicy and crumbly - utterly delicious! My mains was a rich chocolate brownie, which again was pretty amazing although I do have to admit that at this point I was pretty full and didn't manage to finish it all! Overall, the Crowne Plaza in Newcastle is a lovely hotel, comfy beds, good service (I broke my nail one night and the concierge found me a nail file right away), tasty breakfast, decent food, excellent facilities - definitely try and stay if you're in the area!

The only thing with Premiers is that they seem to be in two standards thou they are all 4*. Thou both of the standards are good and like I said I am always happy staying here, the difference is that the better standard is a more recently modernised room than the slightly lower standard. The Hartlepool Marina Premier is the slightly lower standard. The views from this hotel are spectacular as it is based right on the marina with the boats sat on both sides to the hotel. Location is only 5minutes walk from Church Street what is the start of town where you can find restaurants, pubs and clubs. I would stay here again.
