Whites Hotel  

Everything - this is a dispicable hotel - you should remove this from your list of hotels offered. The hotel smells horrible and the rooms are disgusting. We left as soon as possible

I was pleasantly surprised to find the hotel was extremely hospitable and comfortable,after reading some of the reviews on the booking site I was rather apprehensive. I found the reception staff to be welcoming and friendly.The location is great being only a 5 minute walk to the metro. For what paid I got a lot more than I expected a comfortable room, welcoming staff with a great traditional English breakfast. I would recommend this to the price conscious consumer who is looking for value for money without compromising your standards.This is a hidden gem.

Osbourne road itself is very busy

Friendly staff.

Room was so difficult to find, cold and totally out of the way so it did not feel safe, ensuite shower but toilet was outside the room separate.

Price

It's right above a bar, so don't expect to get a good night's sleep over the weekend.

Fantastic Staff, Very good value, lovely breakfast. I would recommend. Lovely stay !!! :-) very happy

Friendly staff

Noisy, inconsiderate clientele

only the location!

On First impressions the hotel looks impressive from the outside and appears a good choice for the price quoted. Unfortunately my stay went from bad to worse for the two nights I stayed. I recieved a less than enthusiastic welcome as the reception staff were glued to the computer screen and wanted me dealt with and moved on as quickly as possible so they could get back to it. The decor now seemed a little shabby once you got inside and past the bright lights of the bar. I am used to budgeting & backpacking so i am not normally picky but the room was freezing and no hot water for a shower. After interupting the receptionist attention from the screen, I finally got the heating on in my room, but only for the first night. The next day and night it was off again, as was any hot water for a shower. On close inspection the room wasn't as clean as first impressions either, with a mildewed shower cubicle and dusty carpet which hadnt been properly hoovered in a long time. Most of the other guests are young/hen/stag groups who spend v little time in the hotel b4 heading straight to the bars. Being 50........and not heading into the bars - i stuck out like a sore thumb. Finally my room was on the ground floor as unable to access the stairs, which was right next to the bar and the toilets- guess who had very little sleep for the whole weekend ?? The saving grace was the v good bargain price and one member of staff who bucked the trend and was friendly and attentive. Having lived in the city and often wondered what it would be like inside - I now know and despite the price will choose another hotel for my next visit

I have stayed at whites before as it is in a very good location

No complaint , all I would say is that the shower hose was far to short to use , as I am 6,2 tallother than that it was fine

Only good thing was the location - right in the heart of Jesmond. Also, elderly receptionist very nice.

The hotel was dirty and very tired. Breakfast was more or less thrown at you and served in what is a very busy students bar at night.

The free apple at the entrance. The coolest thing in the room was the tv, which, of course, did not work!

It needs to be redecorated soon. The room was shabby and sort of neglected. I don't even understand how they have one star, let alone two.

Not recommended, run down, sloping uneven floor in room, dirty stained ceiling tiles, lights in bathroom stopped working, broken towel rail, dirty cups in room

Hotel service

The receptionist on saturday 27th August was absolutaley lovely and so helpful.

On the other hand the bathroom had mould growing round the taps and the seal,the curtains were dirty and the windows were loose so it was very noisy and the windows rattled in the wind.
