We decided this hotel for the location, on the riverside with 5 or 6 minute walk into the centre.
Parking in the multi-storey attached to the hotel was so easy, with a lift straight down into the hotel foyer (£10 for 24 hours)
The staff were so pleasant and helpful (proper northerner’s) were were given room 207 which was a standard double room, but was a great size, overlooking the river and bridges, with en-suite with bath and a very comfortable bed.
At night it was extremely quiet peaceful night considering it was a Friday night, proper solid floors with no creaks or other noises that can ruin your stay.
On the negative side (and I have to point out that we will definitely be returning here) but yes it all needs a little updating, but for us the hot water took an age to come through and was a little intermittent!
However, do not let this put you off because we are too fussy at times and what is important is you get a great nights sleep in a good sized comfortable room, the breakfast is great, self serve, with everything from cooked breakfast, cereals, yoghurts, fresh fruit, cakes, cheeses and meats and a great selection of drinks.
Hopefully next year when we return we can turn this into 5stars.
I used to say there’s nowhere better than Liverpool for a night out and shopping, but now I’m not so sure, Newcastle is fabulous and so are the people, they are friendly and fun, and have great shops and bars and restaurants.
A brilliant weekend and great stay at the Copthorne Hotel, thank you ❤️
