Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The toilets were clean and came with air fresheners so you don’t have to smell the deathly odours of previous users. Common spaces were kept tidy and clean as much as possible even if they were quite tight. I do wish there was a better way to keep people more accountable for their usage and abusage of amenities though especially the cutlery which is quite possibly the most disorganised pick n mix of forks spoon knives screwdrivers chopsticks sewing needles and whatever else is in there. Cameras help but possibly a higher shelf closer to eye level may help people who are cutlery-blind to sort their shit out better. Beds were ok, better in the cold than in the heat. Some were creakier than others and it depends on whether there’s a Snorlax /common enemy in the room. Swimming pool is very pretty and inviting. Washing area looks like a war bunker. I found having 3 different ways to walk back to my room which was only like 8 metres away very charming and convenient to avoid people who were annoying.
Negative: The gate. It either slams itself, you, or if you’re too gentle it doesn’t close and poses a security risk. Some rooms smell nicer than others based on ventilation. You just need one person to smell like postmortem feet and everyone else is subject to nasal horrors.
Summary: A most surprising charming social maze of corridors in Newcastle
