“The Keelman strikes me as a comfortable base for exploring Newcastle and the Tyne area. Its proximity to the Tyne Riverside Country Park and historic sites, plus the on-site brewery and family-friendly amenities, make it suitable for leisure or business. I think its blend of relaxation and local attractions has broad appeal.”

Riverside Stay Memories

comfortable bed hot water complimentary toiletries
The room had both a double and a single bed. The bed was very comfortable, I slept soundly. The shower over the bath provided plenty of hot water and complimentary toiletries. I had everything I needed.
Door slams sometimes disturbed the otherwise peaceful setting.

a mixed experience

musty smell thin walls
the room smelled musty this was a bit off putting the room did not seem properly ventilated i also found that the price was a bit high given the overall condition of the room it felt overpriced for just a short stay furthermore the walls seemed thin i could hear noise from adjacent rooms quite clearly this lack of soundproofing detracted from any sense of tranquility

the double room was spacious, nice and neat. the pub on site was convenient, a real bonus after a long day. it had lots of outdoor seating available.
i reminded me of the lodging was pretty basic. the thin towels weren't ideal and there was no wi-fi available. i would have preferred thicker towels.

Convenient Stop on Hadrian's Wall Path

great location friendly staff helpful staff
The location worked well. It sits just yards off Hadrian's Wall Path. This was greatly appreciated after a long hike. The staff were friendly and helpful with all my needs.
The room was a little tired. The bathroom blind was broken and covered in mould. I also found the water temperature in the shower to be inconsistent.

Dinner was very good. The pub, part of the hotel, serves good food. They offer excellent English breakfasts and also feature real ales brewed on site with reasonable prices.
