Grainger Hotel

Reasonable for the price - minimal room & amenities, decent location (short bus or 20min walk out of town center), fair service.

Smell very damp but cheap

It's was ok for one night the control for the TV did not work and I had no cups in the room but this was sorted out very promptly.no towels in the room

Grainger Hotel is a nice hotel at all. The room is neat and the counter is very helpful. There is a supermarket nearby so that you can get everything you need. It would be a 30-minute walk from station to hotel and you need to walk up some gradient. The streets may be dirty so don't put bags on the ground.

Oh my god where do i begin!! Absolutely disgusting 🤢 freezing cold wouldn’t turn heating on at all in the middle of winter, the noise from outside was unreal no sleep at all far to cold to sleep may as well of slept in the street, had bites all over my legs the next day couldn’t wait to get out if we hadn’t been drinking we would of got in the car and went home couldn’t let a pig stay in there also new virus apparently wrote on one of the doors never ever again!

Resold my room I booked hotel for the Great North Run. Due to travelling a distance, I confirmed in the morning that I could check in m, in the evening. This was agreed as not a problem. On arrival at 21:30, I was told I had to stay elsewhere. Information about the accommodation was sketchy, but I worked this out to be student accommodation on the other side of town. Staff stated this was due to a power cut. I checked the national grid website; this clearly showed no issues. After about an hour of discussing, it was clear that the room I had booked had been given away. Speaking to another ‘guest’, the same has happened to them. Eventually I was given a room at the top of the building, probably a staff room. Oddly, I was also asked to give £10 in cash as a deposit. The same other guest was not asked… I felt unsafe throughout my stay. I would not recommend and will not be staying again.
