The hotel is cheap (booked via an agency) and well located for South Shields, Ocean Road and the beach, rooms are clean and staff very friendly & helpful. Wifi is good. However, the hotel is cheap (rooms are very basic, don't expect the picture shown and could do with an upgrade; recent improvements seem to have been in public areas), rooms can be noisy (#106, noisy guests, noisy heating system, wind whistles outside, later in the season seagulls can be noisy & downspout outside the room is far from quiet in heavy rain, from previous experience), don't expect a sea view if agency booked. Housekeeping replenishments can be "mean" (2 night stay = 3 custard creams and no additional shower gel). Breakfast is expensive. Apart from the bar & car park amenities are limited/non existent. However, on a par with local competition (Little Haven Hotel).

“Cheap, sleep-able, the staff make it a better experience everyone we met were so lovely 😊”

Myself and my husband stayed here Valentine’s Day. The receptionists day and night were lovely, the barmaid (didn’t get her name, small lady with dark hair) she was so lovely.

Myself and my husband stayed here Valentine’s Day. The receptionists day and night were lovely, the barmaid (didn’t get her name, small lady with dark hair) she was so lovely. She was chatty and made us feel so welcome. The rooms weren’t perfect but for the price there what I would expect. It was warm (you can control the heat yourself on the radiator). There was some staining on the baths, sinks and carpets but again the price is very low and the room was clean. The walls are very thin, I think we had a family of 50 above us running round all night, when someone flushes their toilet it does make a noise throughout all the toilets. You can literally hear people’s conversations wether quiet or like the couple on the second floor who fought all night I'm assuming everyone could hear word for word and they were quite far from us… we were in room 112 and it was the first room at the top of the stairs so unfortunately ment every time someone went in and out through the night (quite a lot) the door opened and shut making a loud noise also their conversations outside our door were clear as day. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. I was really surprised by the bar and restaurant it was so empty and being Valentine’s Day I expected it to be busy. I wouldn’t not stay here again but if I was to stay again I would be asking for a different room and hopefully that would make an improvement.
