Newcastle Marriott Metro Centre Hotel

I visited the new Rare Grill Restaurant after winning the meal for 2 in a charity raffle. The restaurant was lovely and we enjoyed out starters but I was extremely disappointed by my main course and dessert. I ordered the chefs pasta of the day which was meatballs with arribiata sauce. The sauce was very dark and much more of a mexican style sauce rather than italian. I would have expected a fresh pasta sauce if I'd been paying £10.00, espcially when only a 10min drive away customers can pay only £4.95 for a much better quality dish.... more

I recently stayed at the Mariott at the Newcastle Metrocentre with my girlfriend. We were unable to be together for valentines, so I thought we'd book a room there for a Friday night and chill out. We checked in very quickly to a room on th 5th floor. The room was very spacious, very clean, warm, quiet and well appointed. The bathroom was huge, with marble everywhere, very clean and bright.

We stayed here for 3 nights recently. Have to agree with the last reviewer - the staff are certainly a credit to the establishment. Rooms well attended and spacious. Leisure facilities great - showers being updated at the time so limited washing facilities but it was fine as we returned to our room for this. Food in the restaurant excellent - 10 out of 10 for presentation, portion control and service. Staff went out of there way to assist you - had a problem with one of our room keys but this was resolved quickly and... more

We stayed for a 2 day break in early August.The staff could't be faulted friendly attentive and polite. The rooms were ok. Standard furnishings 2 double beds clean and air conditioned. The spa area was very busy but in the mens changing rooms only 2 showers working, there wasn't any soap and work was being carried out on the remaining showers.As a result the level of cleanliness fell below the rest of the hotel. We ate both breakfast and dinner in the hotel.Food average,service again very good. To sum up it's what you would... more
