Colliery Inn Wallsend

Great location and great room for the price No parking and basic bathroom

I know it’s just cheap pub style accommodation, but out of the hundreds of pub hotels I’ve stayed in, this is definitely in my bottom 10 or so. I just needed a place to sleep and shower as I was working away. Neither were possible here. I booked two nights. The first night I didn’t get a single wink of sleep due to other guest partying until about 4am. There are massive gaps under doors etc., so you can hear every bit of conversation at the best of times. Once people are singing at the top of their lungs over a Bluetooth speaker, arguing, yelling and dropping things, there’s very little chance of a decent nights sleep. While this is obviously somewhat out of the hotels control, there’s also no one on site, nor anyone to contact if there is an issue, leaving you to try to resolve any issues yourself. When it comes to showering, there are two big showers and a bath/shower in the mens. The bath/shower had a mysterious goo in it, which I was quite happy to let remain a mystery. One of the showers is missing a tap handle, leaving just one shower to be shared amongst all guests. The water is hot at least. Unfortunately, I had to go to another hotel up the road and slip the guy working $10 so I could go upstairs and use their shower, as the only functional/clean shower was occupied for about 40 minutes and I needed to get to my job. The staff that I met were honestly lovely. Very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the place is completely unattended for about 12 hours a day.

The property was conveniently located. The access was easy. The bathrooms were the best. Very spacious. Easy check in/check out. The staff were very helpful. The parking is only off the street. Loved the setting. Thank you.

Would have been good if there was a wardrobe in the room, didn’t know the toilet and shower was down the hall and shared.

Extremely disappointed. I pulled up at this property after booking it on wotif 2h prior. I had my daughter with me. This place looked rundown and unsafe to stay with a child, zero parking aside from the surrounding streets with a few shady characters around. I was refused a refund despite wotif requesting multiple times. I never stayed. What a waste of time and money.

Catfished: the photos online did not reflect the experience. Semi sketchy. Price matched the stay though. Overall, was ok just won’t be back
