The Vermont Hotel Newcastle

The Vermont Hotel Newcastle

8/10 Good
"Lovely room, welcoming staff and well located. A couple of noisy guests going back to their rooms but noise was short lived. Toilet didn’t flush well but great overall experience and we will definitely stay again. One more point to consider, Parking is not free. We think it is too expensive and should be nominal or free with your stay."
