Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Ibis Newcastle offers a convenient location, particularly for those arriving by train or light rail, as it's within walking distance of the station and also provides easy access to the harbor front, bars, and restaurants. The rooms are generally considered clean, and some guests appreciate the kitchen being open until late. A few guests, however, have noted extra charges for parking, which might be unexpected. Value for money is another benefit for many guests, especially considering the location and proximity to the NEX.

restaurants nearbylimited spaceempty dispenser

The location was acceptable for my needs. It had some restaurants nearby.

The room was quite small. I had very little space to store my luggage. It felt cramped. The bathroom seemed like a plastic wet cell installed into the room. I had to step over a fairly high step to get in. No toiletries were provided besides shower lotion, and the dispenser was empty. How good!

The shower was great. It was a real power shower. The air conditioning unit was repaired quickly. I was charmed by that fast response.

The parking had an extra cost.
