I paid over the odds for a single room with shared bathroom (£145). The first room i was put in has part of the window frame missing so the window wouldn’t seal. It had old furniture that seemed to be falling apart. When i complained about the window the receptionists response was “but nobody can get in that”. That wasn’t the point. I asked for money back to which they responded “no, because its the great north run weekend”. They’ve spiked their prices to rip off runners who’d raised thousands for charity. Eventually they moved me to the room next door. Again, the window didnt shut properly but at least there was no hole in it. That room was also outdated with nailed coming out of the wardrobe. The shared bathrooms were grotty, one of the showers didn’t have a door, and the light switch was outside the bathroom in the corridor which anyone could play with as they walked past.
I wouldn’t recommend staying here
