Don't let the name fool you — this functions much more like a basic hostel than a hotel, yet they charged close to £100 per night. Given that price, the lack of cleanliness and comfort was completely unacceptable. The property is quite far from the train station, and the room itself was so small that we couldn't even fully open our suitcases. Worse, the room was dirty: the floor clearly hadn't been cleaned, the curtains were stained, the table was dusty, and there was pink mold on the bathroom wall. Most disgusting of all was the bedding. The sheets were clearly not properly washed, there was hair left on them, and the blanket was covered in black spots. We barely slept for the nights we were there because the bed felt so filthy. On top of that, there was no air conditioning, and the ventilation was so poor that we were sweating immediately after taking a shower. The only bright side was the staff, who were friendly and helpful, but great service cannot make up for these awful conditions. We will avoid this place at all costs in the future. Next time, I would gladly pay £20–£30 per night more to stay at a decent hotel like the Holiday Inn.

Firstly the bar wasn't open when asked a member of staff why they just said its closed. checked in at 3 went to the room. It was that clean. Sink wouldn't drain properly. The building just had a weird smell to it. Later there was no hot water & the weather been so hot needed a shower. Dont think we will be back there anytime soon!

Staff were more than helpful.

The room, not so pleasant. Booked a double room. Got allocated a family room. The room was very tight, cramped and the double bed was between the window wall and another wall so that the only way into the bed was to crawl in from the bottom. The \"en suite\" is a portaloo style complete bathroom. Again very tight and cramp. Fixtures loose faulty and need attention. They was no facilities to make our selves a hot drink in the room. The room was cold even with the electric heater on. For the price of the stay i am very disappointed with the room

Never stayed in a hostel but chosen due to location and previous good reviews. Stayed with my older children in the rooms with en-suite. The room was clean, en-suite was small but perfectly fine. Bed was comfy. Could not fault it. Staff were pleasant and friendly. Bar was loud but that's fine, it was a younger crowd. However staff left us take our drinks to quieter room away from the bar especially as someone in my group is autistic and would not be able to cope with the noise. So we were still able to enjoy happy hour. A great experience and would book again

Nice hotel overall. The negatives were noise from the street down below. The windows are not soundproof and actually thought they were open due to being able to hear people talking 3 storeys down.
The bathroom was very small. Room had some brown stains on wall.

Lots of positives though. Staff super freindly. Bed was super comfy. Double bed and bunk bed for extra people. The hotel doubles up as a hostel for homeless. Noce bar. Lovely for younger crowds. Good location in city. Parking nearby at small cost.

I liked the room. It was clean, secure and comfortable. TV has various channels and you can log into your own account with several apps.
Pretty quiet, building works nearby (obviously out with the control of the hotel.
Two minutes walk from everything you need to access, so you avoid the noise of both day and night time economy.
Not expensive, and better than I expected, to be honest.
I didn't have breakfast, so can't rate that. I also stayed alone in a family room.
Would stay there again.

This was my second time staying at Kabannas and had another enjoyable stay. We stayed in a private double room this time and the room was clean, plenty spacious, and the bed was very comfortable! The bathroom was a little small but suitable with a good shower. There were enough plug sockets too which were confidently located. The bar area is a nice area with food and drinks well priced, and the staff are also very friendly! The location was good, within a 10-15 minute walk from the main station, town centre and football stadium. Kabannas offers great value for money and I would happily stay here again, and recommend the hotel for those visiting Newcastle and looking for a good value for money place to stay.

Good value, could be cleaner

Pretty happy overall with the hostel. Great value, comfy bed and all the essentials - toiletries, charging ports etc. the room wasn’t super clean and there was no extractor fan in the bathroom which made the room quite smelly and damp!

Quite disappointed in breakfast - £6.50 for a takeaway breakfast with barista coffee. I was happy with the vegan options but the apple was wrinkly and old, and the ‘barista’ coffee advertised was actually just the free instant coffee available to everyone. Would’ve rather gone elsewhere for breakfast.

Overall a good stay, well located, cheap and cheerful

Great hostel

Stayed here a few times. Good atmosphere, friendly staff, great location. Had an issue with the TV not working on our last stay, apparently this is an issue across the hotel so would not recommend if a TV is a must for you. I was staying with my young daughter and the gent on duty (didn't get his name unfortunately but he was fantastic!) got us sorted in the end.

It's a typical hostel. Doesn't have kitchen facilities but does food (small menu but very tasty) and there's plenty of bars and restaurants in the city centre, just a short walk away. The bar area is great, and good beers on tap.

One of the nights I shared the room with some unpleasant people that ruined my stay. One of them took my drink bottle while I was sleeping and used it for alcohol. I get sometimes these types of people come along but it ruined my stay.
The bathroom is also small and entirely plastic so after a shower the floor is wet with condensation then will get muddy from people going in with shoes on because they don’t want wet feet.

We stayed overnight after a concert at the arena.Althogh we normally stay closer to central station, this hotel was a reasonable distance to walk. We stayed in a room with private ensuite & it was very clean roomy and airy. Although there was no Aircon and had to sleep with the window open, we had a good night's sleep. Close to bars and city centre this hotel is quiet. If you're looking for a cheap clean convenient hotel, for a short stay this hotel is a good choice. Bed was huge & comfy and staff very friendly. We would recommend the pizzas, handmade on the premises, delicious and fresh too. Well done to all the staff, you are amazing.
