Roselodge House

there is no esuite and we were prepared to share bathrooms. but the toilets were very dirty and the facilities are extremely basic. the showers flooded when e turned them on and smelled of sewage. there was black mould up the walls of the shower room. in the end we did no shower. it was disgusting.
this is not a hotel but overpriced borstal type accomodation.
the staff are friendly enough but we didnt feel the 'hotel' was value for money at all.

I imagine that this place would be perfect for stag nights. I was working. Not at all impressed. An hour after ordering breakfast i got bored and left for work, after calling laterooms I did get a nominal refund for the value of the breakfast though. There was a tv in my room but after some complex contortionism (ariel in hand) i got bored of trying to get more than one channel. It's a hole but it's cheap and the few members of staff that i saw who had a working level of spoken English were (if not entirely competent) certainly keen to try and help.

Rooms are very basic, but cheap'n'cheerful. Breakfast was decent, but only served between 7 and 8. Water in the cold taps was lukewarm! No loo-roll in the (shared) toilets. Fire alarm went off (false alarm) at both 6:30am and 7:30am :-( meaning I was tired for the whole of the next day.

The hotel is grotty, the rooms are tiny, and the whole place has the air of a bail hostel. Saying that, it's cheap and it's on a bus route. You get what you pay for. Just don't expect to pop out for a pint or a nice meal nearby - the area isn't one of Newcastle's most salubrious.

The staff were polite and very helpful during our stay. Due to the size of our group they helped accomadate us with the appropriate facilities
