Five minutes walk from the start of a a lively shopping area with los of shops , a market some days, ATM, big supermarket ( Morrisons) Ferry over to north Tyneside ..and driving , only about 29 minutes to get over the Tyne river and to go further up the cost etc . Food: Lots of curry houses ..! But basically every food is available walking distance as well as convenience stores and Morrisons supermarket . .

The Grotto
6.5 (32 reviews)

The Grotto ★★

📍 Coast Road, South Shields

"The Grotto has gone very grotty. Outside not a single table was clear. Piled high with plates and cups and bottles. Inside was only marginally better. I had high hopes - it having changed ownership again that they would tidy up, pick up the rubbish and spruce it up. There was a time you could get a great coffee on a lovely deck looking out to sea. Sadly even basic standards are not on show here. This place has huge sentimental value to me, my nan worked here once upon a time. It’s the best setting earth with one of the most beautiful beaches you could wish for. Crying out for an owner to maximise its potential."

"Good location with free car parking. I booked a single room, and whilst this was adequate the mattress on the bed was old and needed replacing."

Premier Inn South Shields Port of Tyne ★★★
"The staff were really nice and accommodating, the room we stayed in (57) was really quiet (best sleep we've had in a hotel ever...and we travel a lot). Breakfast was nice but a bit crowded over the weekend (small dinning area), the room was big but it just needed a bit more attention to detail, when it comes to cleaning. Overall, a great stay!! Plenty of parking spaces as well :)"

The Grotto ★★
"We stayed at The Grotto expecting a comfortable experience, but were left extremely disappointed. The room (Room 8) was tiny — more like a storage cupboard than a proper hotel room, and certainly not the one shown in the brochures. The bed was a very small double and incredibly uncomfortable — you could feel every spring. The shower had no hot water throughout our stay, and there were no shelves or storage, making it difficult to unpack or feel settled. The lighting was so poor, we couldn’t even see our reflection properly in the mirror. To make things worse, the room was unclean — the amount of dust and cobwebs was ridiculous, especially considering the price we paid. Check-in was another issue. The bar staff also serve as hotel staff, so we had to queue with regular pub visitors just to get help. The bar was extremely busy, and I waited 25 minutes just to register our car for parking. Yes, the room had a nice sea view, but that in no way made up for the state of the room or the hotel overall — especially not at £252 for two nights. Anyone would expect far better at that price. The windows didn’t close properly, so we heard every noise from the beer garden late into the night. The lift from the car park to the rooms shuts at 10pm, and after that, guests must use the steep, poorly lit stairs beside it. We had to use our phone lights to see where we were going — not exactly safe or comfortable. While the sheets were clean, the overall experience was uncomfortable, overpriced, and frustrating. If you are planning to stay here, avoid Room 8 at all costs — I can’t speak for the other rooms, but ours was a huge disappointment. We would have left, but had family engagements in the area and felt stuck. This hotel is severely overrated and did not meet even the most basic expectations. We definitely would not stay here again."

Ocean Road Rooms ★★★
"The hotel is almost located at the end of Ocean Road, and is quite near to the sea. There are birds singing very early in the morning at around 5:00 am. The hotel room is tiny and not very clean just like a 民宿, but it charged at GBP550 per night for a very tiny twin bed room. The only chair in the room, an old arm chair was collapsed in the middle, which you cannot sit at all. The temperature in the room is not warm enough, as a result we two person had to squeeze in one bed, so it will be warmer. The hot water in the bath room is not hot enough and the bath room is very small and not very clean that made you uncomfortable. If I have choice, I prefer not going to this"hotel" again."
