We booked the room by letting them know we need room for couple. Guess what they joined 2 single beds. We reached there around 11pm and reason we booked was to have good rest at night to continue our next morning long drive. Bed kept splitting whole night. Adjusted couple of times but ended up having sleepless night. When checking out I told the receptionist that they joined 2 single beds and her answer was did it keep splitting? So they know that this is an issue and her answer was I will let the staff know and started doing her work. Not sure how many suffered from this but when you have paid to have good rest you deserve better not sore back next morning. I wanted to let the manager know but it was almost midnight and we were there for 8-9hrs only and changing room checking in and out of room was bit of hassle and we drove for 10hrs and were too tired. This is not what you expect. Just add bit more construction noise starts at 7am. Best alarm to wake you up.

Abby at reception was very polite, welcoming, and professional, making the check-in process smooth and pleasant. The bed was comfortable, and I appreciated the complimentary tea and coffee provided in the room. The hotel’s location is also excellent, with easy access to shops, restaurants, and the harbour. However, I found the rooms to be quite old and outdated and in need of refurbishment. The windows were dirty and had spiders around them, which affected the overall presentation of the room. The carpet also had crumbs on it when I arrived, suggesting that housekeeping standards could be improved. In addition, the room felt quite dark and would benefit from better lighting. Joshua at the breakfast was very friendly. He greeted us and suggested some places to visit and Simon also was very helpful Over all enjoyed the stay

We had a wonderful time at Mecure Newcastle. We decided last minute to go abd an so glad we chose there. They were very accommodating for our needs as a daily with two rooms that were interconnecting. Both rooms were lovely abd very comfortable. Having plates, cups and cutlery available was very helpful for our needs. The buffet breakfast did not disappoint and ticked all the boxes. Thank you for looking after us so well. We really enjoyed our stay!

We stayed for one night while passing through. We arrived late and checked out early, and it was the perfect setup for our needs. The property was clean, tidy and the rooms had everythingwe needed. We had a group of six and booked two adjoining rooms, which worked out great. The staff were exceptionally helpful and accommodating throughout our short stay. We didn't get a chance to check out the restaurant or other facilities, but we would certainly recommend the hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable stopover.

We stayed here over our wedding weekend and from the moment we arrived, the customer service was amazing. Everyone was so welcome and kind. The room was absolutely lovely, though there was no shelf in the shower for hygiene items to sit on, which was a bit weird, but otherwise the room was great. The kitchen staff as well were so sweet and lovely to deal with. 10/10 would stay again
