Rowers Hotel  

I have used this hotel on a regular basis for the past five years.

Nice hotel, staff were very friendly and a good breakfast was served in the morning. It's only a bus ride into the city.

The welcome we got was lovely and the staff couldnt do enough for you even arranged a taxi to take us into newcastle . We are rebooking for August

The staff were friendly.....

Rooms were dirty, conservatory was delapidated. No fridge, towels were grey should have been white. Hair dryer didnt work, telephone didnt work, reception on telly awful, radiators were very noisy. Sheets were grey, bed was very hard. Location was in an insutrial estate......

Location, price and staff

Old fashioned rooms, uncomfortable beds and poor heating

Leaving.

The room stank. Bin full of stangent water probably from radiator made room stink like rotting meat. Staff removed bin but it was in carpets. Arrived back late at night and room was terrible struggled to sleep. Digusting is the word for our room. Hotel in desperate need of some TLC. Would be good value for money if it get cleaned. A little elbow grease goes along way

Lets do the Time Warp again! Well, the Rowers needs updating to say the least! However, we were looking for a hotel for the night as our son was doing the Great North Run. Nearly every hotel had more than doubled their prices and the Rowers was the only one I could find that had kept their normal rates - so, for that reason alone it gets my vote. We had a warm welcome, the room (and the hotel itself) is in real need of decorating and updating, but it was adequate and we had a decent hot cooked breakfast the next morning. Ideal for the Metro Centre and Costco - both only a 10 minute walk away. Lets face it, if you want the Hilton luxury, then you have to pay for it. Good budget hotel.

The hotel was so bad in cleanning that I didn't sleep during the night, I have took some pictures from the room and hotel, if you can give a proper email address to send them I will be happy to share.

Once again the staff were very friendly and the breakfast was great in the morning.

I liked the food, breakfast. I liked the proximity to the town and the City. I like the friendliness of the staff that came into our contact.

The cleanliness of the hotel was poor. Window ledges were unclean, with stains on wood, and a covering of dust. I didn't like the fact the lights in the room and bathroom were not working. I didn't like the temperature of the rooms. Too hot.

I have really appreciated the kindness and the availability of the lady who prepared the breakfast and took care of the clients when they woke up. The room itself has kept its traditionnal english b&b style with its chair, bed even the bath tub. It's great for people who want to discover the old traditional english b&b

The bed sheet, the pillows, the towels didn't smell fresh at all. There was actually a very smell and I couldn't really use the towel after my shower I could bearly stand the smell nor the tidiness of the towel. The bed sheet wasn't clean.

i would recommend this hotel to anyone just on the staff alone, they where so friendly and helpful and made me and my two children joe and bethan feel really welcome. i added a lst minute bed to our room and they did not make a fuss, just said that s fine. showed me how to get around gateshead and to saunderland, the breakfast in the conservatory was excellant service again, with help yourself to as much toast and drinks as you like and a wonderful full english aswell. when i ever go that way again i will be staying there

The hotel was dirty, the crockery at breakfast was 'filthy'! Would never stay there again!
