Seaton Delaval Hotel with Pool

"So, you walk in through a glorious, grand Victorian Lobby, like something from the golden age of rail. And check in with helpful staff. Then walk to your room through the maze of coridoors that gradually shift to being like something from The Shining. The rooms are clean and tidy, but there is a lot of disrepair and a lot of money needs spending to fix a lot of minor issues. Also the plumbing is loud and makes all kind of ungodly noises. Finally, its clear the hotel is cheap and central enough that people use it when they are planning night out & dont want a taxi home. Yiu hear a lot of coming and going all night & I had one drunk couple try to draw me into their argument, only to later walk past them being arrested from within the hotel. Spend a bit of money, and this could be a great hotel. But right now its more than a little past its best"

"Good hotel, walking distance to the metro centre. Comfortable and clean rooms."

"Quite a walk from station, with a steep climb back up to city centre"

"The room I was put in was next to the staff only room. All night there was banging from the door being open/closed. Room was very tidy and services were good"

"Great location by the River Tyne, perfect for a stroll. Near lovely restaurants and bars."

"Theee was a strange smell in the room,window was draughty"
