Leonardo Hotel Newcastle Quayside, Hyperion Suite

This seemed to be reasonably priced compared to other hotels in Newcastle and it's only a short walk over the millennium bridge to the quayside at Gateshead. It's worth paying a little extra for a river view. The common areas are really nice. Reception were really pleasant and helpful.. The standard room I had was absolutely fine. Almost four star but not quite as it's a while since the bathroom was decorated - but overall absolutely fine.

We had a comfortable 5 night stay. The cleaning staff and the staff at the reception were helpful and friendly. 2 incidents that stop me from giving a 5 star.. we were having sandwiches from outside at their breakfast bar corner seating, after checking with a staff member, and midway their bar staff came and asked us to move out, I found that pretty rude. Pls barricade the place instead! Second time was at the breakfast bar too.. 1st morning we had breakfast without a hitch. 2nd morning we shared the slip given to us by reception, to prove our breakfast eligibility, and had our breakfast seemingly under suspicious eyes! 3rd morning, yet again we had to share our payment details and once more my daughter had to go upstairs, mid meal, to fetch the invoices etc, to prove our eligibility! In comparison, Leonardo staff at Bradford and Cardiff have been pretty chill and we have eaten food from outside at both their breakfast bars.
