OYO The Rowers Hotel, Dunston Gateshead

The cleaning staff and manager were lovely people. The hotel itself is not around anything but has excellent links; there were bus connections to the city centre, and the metrocentre was close enough that we could just walk. The hotel has a cute ship theme, the place is like an affordable hidden gem.

They paid special attention to my special request that no other hotel has even acknowledged! This made the day of my girlfriend who is a nervous person! staff were super friendly and the gentleman is a credit to the company that welcomed us!

Stayed for the Great North Run and it was excellent value for money compared to other hotels in the area. Hosts were super friendly and helpful. Room was big enough, clean and functional

Booked into the Rowers but was sent to the sister hotel across the road, the Royal. Location is fantastic, only a 10min walk to the Metro shopping centre and just a 5min drive to the city centre. Staff were so friendly and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. Has a bar and pool tables as well. Would definitely stay here again.

It was much better than I expected or other negative reviews. Clean, warm, comfortable -great location with bus stop just round the corner- just download the NE bus app and go. Nice staff, twinned with The Royal Hotel round the corner- if it’s shut go there. Didn’t get to try the breakfast as i Ieft too early each day. Would stay again .
