"Great stay"
mynameisit, 19 Septembre 2026

Great location. Perfect stay

"Had everything we needed"
TeessideAngel65, 09 Août 2026

If you need a functional, affordable, clean, comfortable hotel for a short stay, The Embassy is ideal. The rooms are spacious and have everything you need. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. There is ample car parking and it is relatively quiet, given that it is close to a busy road.

"Great bargain hotel"
aprilNthYorkshire, 05 Août 2026

Lovely friendly welcome from gentleman at reception and all other staff were so friendly too, very clean rooms and comfortable bed and no noise through the night. Would definitely stay again.

"Do not recommend"
Lisa M, 22 Juillet 2026

Avoid. The bathroom is mouldy, the room smells musty and the whole place need a full refrub, "Breakfast" is a £7.99 bap made behind the reception desk and handed to you in a brown paper bag. The holiday inn down the road is a better choice!

"Friendly and good value"
Flyingscotsman74, 19 Juillet 2026

2 night stay . Adam gave us a very friendly welcome , cheerful and pleasant . Helped with bags and local advice . Bed comfortable and room very clean . Good sleep both nights . Spacious . Bathrooms clean but really do need modernising . Also plug sockets near beds needed ! Adam thanks again for the friendly welcome !

"Best hotel ever"
Dominic J, 22 Juin 2026

Absolutely amazing service I'd absolutely return here it was very convenient nearby shops and right next to a pub that served good food the breakfast here is amazing I fell so hard for it I bought double portions for a day I'd absolutely recommend

"Happy with service & facilities"
Border C, 18 Mai 2026

This was a business trip whilst I was working at the Metrocentre. The hotel was a couple of junctions away from the metrocentre & whilst the decor is slightly dated decor wise it was all clean, functional & comfortable. I had hot water/ shower & a comfy bed so it was all I needed. Plus I have to say, the staff were very welcoming & friendly.

"Highly Recommend."
Trevor S, 13 Mai 2026

This hotel 'punches way above it's weight' and is a 'real gem' of a hotel in the area. The staff are a dedicated team, that go 'the extra mile' to make your stay enjoyable. The hotel is conveniently located, just of the A.1 and is close to the Metro Centre and Newcastle. The rooms are spacious and adequate, albeit for the need of bedside sockets; especially for those needing a socket for medical needs and one of the quietest hotels I've stayed in. It was my 1st experience of a 'takeaway breakfast' and wasn't disappointed - a restaurant is located next door for other meals. I highly recommend this hotel, if you are visiting this area.

"Great experience"
Pedada S, 27 Avril 2026

Good location and nice ambience.

"Decent for the price"
Terri L, 18 Janvier 2026

Lovely welcome from a staff member named Adam, room was very quiet and comfortable. Room needed a bit of an upgrade but was fine for the price. The only issue is the water pressure, it was practically a trickle coming out of the shower and luke warm on the hottest setting.

"Excellent value for money hotel, friendly staff, quiet comfortable night!"
Amanda T, 07 Janvier 2026

I stayed for work purposes, so was an excellent location for me. The hotel is located near a busy road, yet it is so quiet inside! The staff are efficient, helpful and friendly. The room, although basic (what would you expect for the price?) was clean, warm, cosy and very comfortable. The bed was probably the most comfortable I've slept in for a very long time, as were the pillows. I can't really fault the place, complete value for money, I can't believe they charge so little! I cannot comment on breakfast as I didn't take it. Would definitely recommend.

"Refused access to hotel on NYE."
sharon m, 31 Décembre 2025

Son and girlfriend booked in to stay here for to see in the new year, through booking.com. When booking she had to verify her age (17). They went to the embassy, Newcastle, after work tonight and were refused access as you need to be 18. This was not stipulated when booking. She went there for an overnight stay to see in the new year but was turned away for this reason. I even rang the hotel, as a family member to ask if they could stay but still it was a NO. I've messaged booking.com as no answer on the telephone. She sat in the hotel car park and cried for a good hour while her boyfriend rang around. Unfortunately, there was nothing available anywhere, so they had to head home. Such a shame.

"A good experience."
K3587OQterrym, 16 Novembre 2025

The hotel room was a good size and clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful. We received the Free breakfast (to go) offer which was good. Enough to choose from with a few coffee shop style tables to eat at. It was a few minutes drive to the Metro and approx 10 mins to Newcastle. Overall it was a good experience and we would book this hotel again.

"Ideal hotel for a night out in the town."
Lyndsey B, 28 Septembre 2025

Decent hotel and ideal location not in the city centre but not to far away from the night life. Prices are great value. Exceptionally clean by louise and the other staff on shift were all chatty and welcoming.

"Excellent ⭐️we will be back"
Yvonne P, 15 Septembre 2025

Excellent! The hotel is a little tired looking but our four night stay was just perfect . All the staff are so friendly and welcoming , nothing is to much trouble for them . They helped us out numerous times when we asked for advice / help to navigate this lovely area. We felt they were genuinely interested in where we had been and if we'd had a good day . The cold breakfast at the price was amazing so much choice and well presented , in fact we questioned how you could do it at that cost . When we came to check out the lady asked if we were ready to get home to our own beds ? But we actually felt like we wanted to stay longer , so we are definitly coming back next year to finish off what we didn't get to see . Well done all of the team for making our stay so memorable ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Cheap and cheerful but take ear plugs and a heater"
Istencsapasa, 14 Septembre 2025

+ reasonably priced + free parking + decent pub next door serving food + very friendly staff - quite dated, verging on shabby - breakfast is very basic - noisy location particularly if your room is at the back as it backs onto a very busy road. - the heater in our room (23) didn't work.

"Good stay, great location would stay again."
Moble_14, 09 Juillet 2025

First off the review is for my experience we had it's not for the hotel as it's not a 4 star. Great location just off the A1, close to shops also. We arrived quite late but there was plenty of car parking spaces which was good, next door was pub which served food which is ideal. Entry via a key card or intercom so it felt safe. Through the door to reception where there was a few tables and chairs for breakfast. Adam was on reception we were greeted with a smile he asked how our day had been and if we had drove far we told him where we had drive from and how long it had taken and he joked and how long it takes him to do the same journey lol he was polite , helpful and really attentive. Nicest receptionist I've ever met. We went up to our room you could tell it used to be a premier inn it still had the carpets, headboards and curtains but the hotel had only been open a week so I presume the more money they make the more they can invest in the hotel which is needed a little especially the carpets and the bathroom but the room was clean ( with a note from Helen who had cleaned the room) with tea, coffee and biscuits provided. You could tell all the bed linens were new and the pillows were amazing we had the best sleep ever. Came down stairs to check out in the morning (10am a little early I thought lol) staff were lovely asked how we were and what we had planned. Had a good chat and felt welcome which sometimes you don't really get that in big places so it felt nice. We missed breakfast but by the looks of things they had quite a selection. So all in all it was a good stay but the staff made it better especially Adam. We would stay here again.

"Beware if booking at this hotel"
Adrian G, 14 Octobre 2021

Wife booked a room at this hotel several weeks ago as a halfway stop over for a break away to Scotland. Less than 48 hours before we were due to travel, the hotel left a message on her answerphone, cancelling our booking, blaming the government because of Afghanistan asylum seekers and child refugees (their words), and to call back if we wanted to discuss further. We did call back, left a message, but no one returned our call. Also contacted the central switchboard who assured us someone would call back, which they never did. Extremely poor set up in our view, so be forewarned if trying to book a room at this place.

"Fantastic staff"
alibongo81hall, 14 Septembre 2021

From the moment we arrived we were greeted by a friendly face . The staff here are exceptional so helpful friendly and just great people . The rooms have everything you need all in working order .We stopped here for the Great North Run and the reception helped us with transportation to the event printing a document with all the buses and metro info not many would go above and beyond like that .

"Rugby weekend away"
trudyjane1966, 08 Septembre 2021

We stayed here for 3 nights for rugby League Magic Weekend. The hotel was spotless and anything we needed was met with a smile and a friendly face. The rooms were clean and the showers are amazing.The restaurant on site was excellent and plenty to choose from and was very reasonable, the breakfast was lovely. The staff are a credit to this hotel and worked very hard. Would definitely visit again.

"Great place to stay"
sjr772021, 19 Août 2021

We found our room very satisfactory. It was spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff went out of their way to help and were very friendly. They even provided an ironing board with no extra charge. Great place to stay.
