Nearby shopping and dining

positive:
Good value for money
Room rates are generally deemed low, especially by those guests who were able to secure the best deals by booking in advance. There are extra charges to consider - such as for extended Wi-Fi access and the breakfast boxes - but these are rarely considered excessive.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Popular with rowdy groups
Feedback suggests that this hotel is the de facto choice for groups of people looking to have a wild time in Newcastle. Stag parties, hen parties and weekends away for groups of girls and guys - it seems that anything goes. As a result, many guests say this hotel is not a great choice for families.
negative:
Road noise
It seems that the sound of revellers in the hotel is not the only noise you might encounter at the Travelodge Gateshead. Guests mention that the sound of traffic can also be overwhelming. A peaceful stay does seem to be rather elusive.
negative:
Tricky to walk to Metrocentre
Despite the proximity of shopping at the intu Metrocentre, guests do mention that walking to this mall is rather like taking your life into your own hands, thanks to the amount of traffic. It might be worth jumping in your car if you want to indulge in a little retail therapy.
