Four Points Flex by Sheraton Newcastle

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Newcastle

8/10 Good
"Good budget option. Small rooms with basic amenities but spotlessly clean. Very comfy bed. More hangers would be better but perhaps you can get these if requested. A lot of noise in the rooms overlooking the street, to be expected due to central location. Reasonable value. Would stay again providing it was reasonable rate."

"Probably the best hotel in Newcastle; beautiful rooms, walk in shower and a tub if you want a soak. Quayside is a great location with entertainment options aplenty but we had a cocktail in the bar and dinner in the restaurant- very good white Russian and steak bearnaise plus arugula and parmesan salad which was perfection. Only choice for us when staying in Newcastle to visit family."

10/10 Excellent
"A wonderful place to stay, very picturesque grounds and its history with additions give it a unique and warm feeling. You can tell that although the castle has had extensive work done to keep it in good condition, it still maintains a royal feeling. The range of rooms are good to suit all types of stays, there was a wedding going on while I was there and I can imagine it’s a wonderful place to host such an event. All the staff were very welcoming and helpful, from the reception desk to the restaurant staff and the cleaners. The food was amazing, and the restaurant space again was special without feeling too intimidating with very kind and accommodating staff. I would highly recommend a stay here, well worth the trip!"
