Ramada Encore Newcastle-gateshead, Meeting Room 3 - 4

Excellent value for money. Good all round hotel with basic facilities. Good size king room, staff very friendly and informative, tea and coffee available in room but no biscuits, Nespresso would have been better as offered by other hotels in the area. Good size desk for working on but only 2 sockets, both used for hairdryer and TV, and no USB points. wifi had good signal and easy to connect to. Only 1 plug sockets near the bed and again no USB. Hair dryer, safe, iron and board also supplied in the room. Shower was ok, could have been more powerful but good enough and hot with soap available. Evening meal was tasty with good portion and friendly, efficient service. Breakfast buffet was good with a selection of hot food and some pastries/muffins, cereals, fruit etc with coffee machine. However, the food could have been hotter from the buffet. Parking available at reasonable price for the area £10 overnight, good size spaces and EV charge also on site at 55p per kw and £1 connection charge, which was a not great. For the price, this hotel is great value for money and has all you need.

Fairly well located hotel but pretty basic. Rooms were alright, wooden floors which could be heard from room below and the hotel seems to be used as a shelter/hostel. Smelt strongly of cannabis so I wouldn't go back! Staff were decent and friendly, food wasn't bad.

Staff were very friendly, there was 2 ladies especially who were very nice and friendly, one was doing the morning shift and one on the night. Breakfast had a good spread and the timings were friendly too. Evening meals were okay. I do wish there was access to microwaves due to dietary requirement, maybe on in the rooms. Seemed to be a few people who were the for some type of social care reasons which wasn’t expected. It’s a nice walk into the local area.
