George Hotel

Peaceful, tranquil location by the river Tyne. My last stay in the hotel was about 35 years ago and little would appear to have changed still very pleasant but a little faded by todays glittery standards. Good room rates.

We stayed at this hotel for two nights as part of road trip. Good bits first: stunning location on the North Tyne, close to Hadrians Wall, super staff very helpful, polite and friendly, interesting old building. The hotel has suffered severely from under investment and poor senior management in my opinion. The rooms are scruffy and poorly furnished, the windows were stuck shut as the window frames were rotted. We had two dinners in the restaurant. The first was roast beef, the meat was so tough to be almost inedible, the vegetables poorly prepared and cooked. Very unappealing. The second meal was a meat pie this was ok but almost certainly not made on the premises, it was supposed to be severed with broccoli but they had run out. The breakfast is buffet style. The eggs were missing one morning and congealed on the second. Fruit salad was missing but reappeared when we told the waiter. Then there were no plates. Staff were wandering around aimlessly but helpful when spoken to. There was no sign of any management trying to sort out the chaos. In all it was the worst hotel out of seven which we stayed in, all similarly priced. There were many foreign visitors, it’s a shame that they were treated to this poor view of the UK.

The location for the hotel is great easy to find and popular for walkers of Hadrians Wall. The rooms are basic but comfortable, they are clean and we had a good nights sleep. The rooms are well used and could probably do with a spruce up. However, the downside for us was the breakfast, the price of the rooms for such a basic selection should be inclusive in the price of the room. It was all buffet style and the hot selection was cold or luke warm and the only good thing I can say is the sausages were tasty - luke warm but tasty.

Lovely stay but disappointed by the older lady on reception who was not at all welcoming Very brusque, no welcoming greeting and no information given regarding leisure facilities etc. The other younger lady on reception was telling another couple what was available and how to access it in an extremely pleasant manner. Otherwise we had a lovely stay and made the most of the leisure facilities!

Visited George Hotel on Saturday to be greeted by an extremely rude aggressive barman who informed us that dogs were allowed in the restaurant and we should have come by the other which he rushed over to open no handle on outside of door reason we used open door this didn’t apply to Dutch couple with dog who were allowed to come in Small menu limited selection Ordered sandwiches which consisted of three slices of ready sliced cheese plus pickle three slices of sliced processed ham However the young lady who served the food was extremely pleasant

This is a lovely hotel, food was good, room comfortable and great spa and gym. Nice location on the river. The staff are very friendly and made my wife's birthday extra special by pulling out all the stops and singing happy birthday to her. This has been a memorable stay and I'm sure we will be back. Thank you all.

Was there for work and surrounding area..was a lovely location

We had a nice stay, the food was lovely. The leisure facilities could do with an update. We enjoyed using the pool and steam room but it was a pity the sauna was out order.
