Copthorne Hotel Newcastle, La Rivage

Room a bit dated but large, clean and comfortable. Also a bit cold, gad to turn up the air-conditioning. Excellent staff throughout. Nice .eal in the restaurant. Tip: if going into town after checkout, dump bags in the car before handing in the keys, so you can use the lift!

Excellent hotel with friendly staff and delicious breakfast (vegan and gluten free options available). Situated within walking distance to town centre. Room was clean and spacious with lovely views of the river. Parking available with reduced rates for hotel customers. Highly recommend.

As per other reviews this is a really friendly hotel. The staff are very welcoming. The rooms have good views of the river but again, as with other reviews, although there's nothing particularly wrong with the rooms, the beds are comfortable etc etc, they just seem a little dated in comparison to more recent rivals at the same price bracket in the area. However, this is a decent hotel and I'd certainly use it again.
