Surprisingly a wonderful renovated chic hotel room. With double glazed windows, you wouldn't know you were above a funky pub. Amazing front desk service that gave us a 10% voucher to breakfast at an Amazing cafe called Neighbours. Will definitely stay there again whenever in Newcastle!

We were lucky to find and stay at Lucky Hotel. We couldn’t fault anything about our overnight stay. The hotel was well presented and appeared newly renovated. Our room was comfortable, quiet and well appointed. We were very happy with our stay, and will stay again when next in Newcastle

This is an interesting hotel. Has a great bar and the restaurant pub food is excellent. It has new bathrooms; is opposite the tram stop. It is refreshingly old compared to a sterile modern hotel but may not be everyones cup of tea. I.e. no wardrobes, ironing board etc.
