Leonardo Hotel Newcastle Quayside

One of my favourite hotels for a great stay . The rooms are so spacious. Got a beautiful room overlooking the tyne river.

Good location, only 10 minutes walking distance from good restaurants. Very nice bed and shower. Good breakfast as well but the gluten-free options were very very limited.

Modern hotel, located on the Quayside in Gateshead, with views of Newcastle City Centre, The Tyne and the Millennium Bridge. The hotel car park was full on arrival and we had to park at another Car Park five minutes walk away, which the receptionist suggested, at a cost of £5.90 for 12 hours and then extend for a further four hours to avoid a penalty ticket. Suggestion. Perhaps the hotel could negotiate a preferential or discounted rates for their guests! First impressions of the reception and bar areas were favourable. However, things deteriorated after this. The hotel looks tired and needs some investment in the bedrooms. The corridor on the second floor was dirty and didn’t appear to have been vacuumed that day. Rooms were small and basic. A Double and a single bed have been crammed into the room, which didn’t leave a great deal of floor space. Perhaps, this is so they can accommodate coach parties. No safe in the room or even a box of tissues. Bath was chipped, wood surrounding the bath had been replaced at some point, by a five year old child, judging by the quality of the work. Bathroom mirror needed replacing, as the silver reflective coating was flaking. Breakfast buffet was adequate, but not worth the money being charged. Hot food, but no vegetarian options, other than mushrooms or potatoes or remnants of scrambled egg. Not a Four Star experience, despite four stars outside the Main entrance. I’ve stayed in better three star hotels

This was a really good hotel very central to Newcastle quayside with great views. This is worth a stay. Staff were very friendly and polite

Enjoyed the hotel, great location but a little walk from public transport 15 to 30 mins depending. Parking a bit of a challenge for no real reason other than council control to make a profit. Hotel parking good during the day but get there after 4pm and it's a challenge, get there after 6pm and just park on the street outside 6pm to 8am.

Overall good experience, staff were lovely and helpful. However , Breakfast was a bit limited. It was bearable for 2 nights stay, I think I would run mad if my only option of hot food was bacon, egg and sausages for a week.  The runner carpet in the hallways could do with an upgrade.
