The rooms receive mixed reviews. Positively, guests appreciate the spaciousness, affordability, comfort and clean bathrooms with some rooms even featuring balconies. However, significant issues are also noted, including musty odors, dirty carpets, stained bed sheets, mouldy bathrooms and outdated or damaged furnishings. Essential amenities such as cutlery and crockery are often missing and difficulties with the entry code system can create access issues. Noise from nearby roads and pubs further detracts from the experience, highlighting the need for better soundproofing.
Cleanliness is a critical concern for many guests despite the convenient location and ample parking. The property suffers from dirty carpets, dusty air conditioning units and musty odors.

Dirty linens, inadequately cleaned rooms and unclean windows and surfaces contribute to an overall impression of inconsistent housekeeping standards.
Staff interaction also receives mixed reviews. Many guests commend the helpfulness, friendliness and professionalism of the staff, noting good value and strong support when contact is made. However, the absence of on-site staff and reliance on a self check-in process via message codes frustrates many guests. Difficulties in reaching staff through the hotline add inconvenience, although support is generally good once contact is established.
The free WiFi service, though provided without the need for passwords, experiences frequent issues like weak signals, slow speeds and intermittent connectivity. Router issues further complicate maintaining a stable connection and guests often find information on WiFi access lacking.
Parking at Tudor Inn Newcastle is generally viewed positively with free and secure parking under the building being a significant asset. However, the parking slots are tight and better suited for smaller cars, occasionally requiring guests to use street parking when the lot is full.
Beds also spark varied feedback. Clean, comfortable beds are positively highlighted, but concerns about lumpy or sunken mattresses, hard or hammock-like beds and uncomfortable or spongy pillows are common. Cleanliness issues such as dirty mattresses and unpleasant smells further detract from the overall satisfaction with the beds.
The property is described as a budget-quality three-star hotel with basic amenities, but maintenance issues like mouldy ceilings, malfunctioning air conditioning and noise disturbances contribute to guest dissatisfaction. Some guests feel that the room prices are high for the quality offered, calling for a reassessment of its rating due to these recurring problems and the outdated state of the building.
In summary, while Tudor Inn Newcastle offers a strategic location and some appreciated amenities, significant improvements in cleanliness, maintenance and staff presence are needed to enhance the guest experience fully.
