“In my opinion, Hotel Express Newcastle Gateshead benefits from its location, a little over a mile from Newcastle city centre and close to the Metro Radio Arena and St James' Park; the hotel also provides free WiFi throughout. However, reports of disrepair and poor service raise serious concerns about value and reliability. I'd suggest travelers explore alternative options.”
