OYO The Rowers Hotel, Dunston Gateshead

Nice location, very close to the town centre

Decent for a 2 star workers were no where to be seen though and tv were very small

I was booked into this discgusting hotel by my company. On arrival i had to ring a number to get someone to let me in. The reception smells of damp. My room was even worse. The carpets was dirty and stained. The curtain had a white stain on it. The radiator was covered in brown stains. The window ledge paint was all cracked. In the bathroom the floor tile was loose causing a trip hazard. The toilet had a faulty valve and was running all night. The room had a sickly smell which i found out the next morning was inside the kettle there was thick black mold and the smell was horrendous. The tea cup was stuck to the saucer. I contacted soneone by phone and was told "theres no one there so nothing they could do" This hotel and i use the term loosely should be closed down or at the very least be inspected. I told the man on the phone the place is a disgrace. The room was booked for one week after that my company changed hotels. DO Not Stay There !!!!

The hotel looked derelict from the outside. The door was locked so we couldn't get it. I called customer services to ask someone to let me in. The very nice member of staff was losing the battle. Inside was worse than the outside! The room smelt of urine and cigarettes. There was thick black gooey stuff on the bedroon carpet and black mould in the bathroom. We explained that we couldn't stay there. Customer services, on the phone, agreed to cancel the booking. As I had given my bank details they still charged me, I will now have to fight to get my money back.

I only drove past the Rowers Hotel in Gateshead. On examination I saw that dirty curtains were at the windows that were also piled with junk. The whole place looked dishelved. On looking for a car park the gates to the rear were hanging off and the so called car park was littered with rubbish. My wife and I would not even enter the place. WE DROVE PAST AND BOOKED A PREMIER INN

DO NOT BOOK HERE!!!!! CHECKED IN AND CHECKED OUT THE SAME DAY, THIS IS THE WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD :( THIS ROOM WAS UTTERLY FILTHY, THE DOOR DIDN'T LOCK SO FELT VERY UNSAFE AND I WOULD NOT ADVISE THAT YOU BOOK

It was 40 quid a night for a twin so don't expect 5 star .. It was clean enough but wiffy in the toilet but for 1 night it done the job . Door lock was broken so had to improvise. Car park was dark and a bit spooky .. Staff were spot on tho

Our experience of the Rowers hotel in Newcastle was extremely poor. The dirt of the entrance hall which immediately sets the tone. In fairness most people in our group had a worse room experience than we had. 1. The skirting was falling off in the ensuite. 2. The shower was a telephone-like set up in a very deep bath, with no non-slip mat. 3. There wasn't enough crockery and cutlery for the number of guests. 4. The locking device on the door of our room didn't work, we had to put a suitcase against the door to deter someone fromcoming into the room at night. 5. The conservatory where we were to eat was dirty and overgrown with foliage. 6. The patio was overgrown with weeds. 7. The hotel is in an industrial estate. In fairness there seemed to be plenty of hot water in the morning. But a double room had two single beds. What I'd call a twin room. I would say that you shouldn't stay in this hotel.

This is the dirtiest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Layers of dust everywhere, worn out linen in bed and bathroom, filthy appliances, hairdryer held together with tape. This place needs a good manager, a good cleaning and updating of decor. No reception area, bar not in use and garden is completely overgrown. Don’t stay in room 8....boiler for premises switches on 5.55am and is VERY noisy preventing any sleep after that time. DONT EVEN THINK OF STAYING HERE. A ZERO RATING IS WHAT IT DESERVES.
