Great place, not too far from town or the arena. Electric rads can’t be controlled because the dials have melted so the rooms get really hot or cold as there’s no way of regulating them. Other than that it’s really good value for money and very spacious. Would definitely stay again.

Honest review, stayed in apartment 41 for a family event. Arrived at 3pm-ish and was told check in was at 4pm, when I stated it was 3pm on Expedia, was given the key and told the apartment was ready for us and to park at the back free of charge if there was space (there was). When we entered everything was clean and in place, beds where made up nicely, fresh towels, couldn't fault it. However, as with previous review I'd read, the furniture in the livingroom was \"knackered\", faux leather flaking off the sofa and dining chairs, tv bog standard (a lovely purple/green glow and not smart), crockery I'd say hit and miss, and the paint job not professionally finished. The beds were a little hard, this is personal preference, you can't please everyone, but the pillows were comfy, and we liked the fact that there were blankets on the bed (we have a high tog duvet at home). All this being said, for the price, the location, we didn’t spend much time there due to the event, it was alright and would probably book again if we were up that way for another weekend (probably wouldn't stay with our kids though). However, we wouldn't call it luxury or 4 stars, chamges would need to be made for that, but then I suppose that would drive up the cost of staying there.

We made a booking via Expedia for 6 people ( 3 bedrooms) on 4th May .

We are allocated apartment 43 . Which is a 2 bedroom , for 4 people .

We told reception this and were told \" oh I can see what has happened\" but no further assistance given.

As 2 of our party has a change of plan it was ok although we did have to share a room when 2 of us were expecting to have a room each. But had they checked in later as planned they would have had nowhere to sleep .

We also raised issues that ;

There were only 3 mugs , apparently there are no spares ? And all other accommodation was booked , so who was in the apartment we should have had ?

The complimentary tea and coffee was very poor , 4 tea bags, 1 sugar and 3 coffee sachets , no milk or whitener . Only hand wash in the bathroom not the en-suite.

We also reported that ,the blinds were broken / would not work but nobody offered to fix them.


The apartment itself was basis and nowhere near luxury .

The property was not fit for purpose. The additional bed that we paid for was a tiny camp bed with no mattress just a folded up quilt. Why is the room sold for 5 people if the 5th person has to sleep on that? Every time you turned the tap on in the bathroom the noise that came form the kitchen tap was deafening. The oven door was hanging on by a hinge and the glass wasn’t attached. Overall a terrible stay.

The apartment was supposed to be for 5 people but there weren’t enough beds. Sofa was just a standard sofa and there wasn’t enough bedding. Made for a very cold and uncomfortable night. The kitchen was very badly equipped. No way you could make a meal in it. There were only 2 forks, 2 knives, 1 spoon, 1 very dirty pan, 2 bowls and 3 plates. Poor selection of glasses and tiny mugs. All had to be washed before using to get the dirt and grease off them. Very disappointed as we were away for a family weekend and expected to be able to make meals.

Bad check-in communication but decent place.

The email about checking in with details was non-existent and more the issue was because I had to check in after hours, I could have relied upon what to do. Instead after phone calls I finally reached someone who had to themselves learn how to check me in via a lock box to get a key. All this could have been solved with a email detailing things that are useful. Instead after an hour wondering if I would have to cancel, finally it worked out. In the apartment, it was okay but no wash cloth, and just missing the beat on a few things. Clean enough but like the really bad check in, not a place or experience I will want to repeat.

Was advertised as luxury apartments, might be to some who stays at travel lodge hotels. It’s all about the finishing touches for luxury and good interior furniture, this apartment lacked both. Rotten wood in bathroom. Blinds fall off when trying to open them and a dirty hob in kitchen. Would not stay again!

Great potential but low quality...

The Apartment is central and we'll located and, if you're lucky you might get one with a view of the bridge.

We only stayed for one night, the living area/kitchen is well designed, providing plenty of space to move around between both sides.
We had a two room apartment with enough space in each room and, the mattresses were ok.

Unfortunately the kitchen sink makes a loud static noise each time the hot water tabs in the apartment/building turned on.

The toilet in the ensuite bathroom was used and not flushed and they were nails on the bed which was already made.

The other room had 4 light bulbs but only 1 was working. Informed the receptionist but we were informed that there was no maintenance staff available, it was 1640hrs on a Sunday, right after check-in.

There were 5 reading lights in the apartment and only two of them were working.

We cleaned the hand soap bottle in the main bathroom because the soap was coming out with mould.

The oven works but the door is broken.

The gentleman during check-out was more customer orientated compared to the lady during the check-in, it was cold and felt like we were disturbing.

I had huge expectations when I made this booking, I checked it on both Hotels.com and on Dream apartments' website.
From seeing the pictures on both sites to then slowly discovering the faults within the flat, disappointing.
Your apartments have a huge potential unfortunately I feel the work behind it to maintain the standard is lacking.

The apartment is tired and has had some painting work done but in a very poor way. Furniture and carpets in the lounge are in a poor condition and needs refreshing, the windows were very hard to open and handles were loose which was a concern when trying to close them up. Lights to the main bed room did not work with only bed side lamps working.

I stayed at this apartment for 3 nights, 2 of which I had no hot water. I spoke to them after the first night and the water was fine the second night but on my return to the property from work on the third night it was not working again. There is nobody to contact as they only have someone in during daytime office hours.
I spoke to them about some sort of refund, which I believe is fair and they said they would look into it.
I have heard absolutely nothing since.
The property itself is not bad at all, it is looking a little tired.
Many of the spotlight bulbs had blown and not been replaced also.

No hot water available in our room for three days, bathroom door did not close let alone lock as the door was too large for the surround. Window had black tape around it to keep it shut.
Lounge door edging was peeling off exposing the nails to keep it held on, the whole place needs maintenance. Nothing like the photos on Hotels.com
Children from room next door were able to run along our balcony and bang on the window first thing in the morning. Staff didn’t really want to know. Was however offered 15% refund but would not recommend this place.

I had read reviews and had low expectations. I only stayed for one night and did laundry so it worked for my needs, but couldn't really recommend it to others. I had a balcony room which did have a pretty nice view, but the place has poor quality workmanship and the bathrooms and linens were not cleaned properly. There are only a couple of onsite parking spaces so if you need parking they may not have enough room. I can't comment on the kitchen because I didn't use it, but noticed that the sink was dripping and couldn't be stopped.

Dislikes. In The first apartment (42), the door handle to the living area fell off and we found that the washing machine was broken. We were then moved to apartment 43 which was in a very poor condition for a “luxury apartment “. There were broken tiles in the shower which had been stuck back in place with silicone sealer. A toilet that didn’t flush. The kitchen bench was cracked and chipped. Every room had a self closing fire door.

Not what it says on the tin

The apartment was nothing like the one in the picture. It was fairly large, but furnished very cheaply and in desperate need of a bit of maintenance. On arrival we were greeted by a visit from two fire engines - a shower had apparently caused the alarm to be triggered... should not happen! If you are used to student accommodation or hostels then this place is ok. But even then it really isn't a great location.

Was upgraded to 2 bedroom apartment with balcony and view over the river.
Large apartment, kitchen adequate, could have done with a few more standard utensils (tin opener, scissors, 2 oven gloves rather than 1). Whole apartment needed some tlc. Tap loose in the en-suite and loose floor tiles. Settee very lumpy too.
However, bed was clean and comfortable which was the main thing needed. Towels and toiletries provided along with tea, coffee and milk. Only stayed 1 night and got bargain price so can’t complain.
Staff on reception friendly and we were able to leave luggage there before we could check in.
Would definitely use again at the right price

Disappointed

Half of the bulbs don’t work, the kettle didn’t work, the microwave didn’t work - checked all the isolator switches and still nothing. The seal on the shower is decayed meaning that the floor gets covered with no way of avoiding it. The toilet seat is broke and slips and it was a bit dirty. No plug for the bath, pretty sure the washing machine leaks, the carpets damp and sticky in places. Stains all up the walls. Ground Room was next to car park and was a bit noisy in the morning.

Very disappointed by the unhygienic facilities.

We planned a night in Newcastle to celebrate my friends 50th birthday and travelled from different parts of the country. When we arrived we found that although we had booked an apartment for five people we had to ask for a fifth bed and then had to make the bed ourselves. The en-suite had not been cleaned which included a very dirty toilet. We were horrified to find that the double bed had not been changed and bodily fluids were present on the sheets from the previous occupants. We had to request clean bed linen and remove the dirty sheets ourselves. The grill pan had not been cleaned and was full of bacon and bacon grease which smelt awful. We informed the night staff and receptionist of our concerns and were advised to email Dream apartments however after many emails to Dream apartments I have had no response. Very disappointing stay and lack of customer service.

This apartment was lovely and clean, it was just by all the pubs and clubs and shops and resturants but just enough out the way that you were away from the noise. And with underground parking. Although we were charged £25 for an extra bed which we didnt ask for as there was 5 of us even though when we booked it said 2 double beds with a single futon. Then when we got to the room there was no extra bed or futon, it took a few hours and a couple of phone calls to finally get it in our room before we went out for the evening. And the extra bed we got charged for we asked to be refunded and the receptionist said “ ill have to wait for the manager to do it so maybe in a day” not sure what that ment but i didnt like the sound of it, and will be checking constantly until i do get it. And also the bath towels, there were only 4 and like i said there was 5 of us. But other then that it was great and i would recommend to stay here if there is no more then 4 of you and dont let the receptionist add and extra bed on your price without double checking

We found the off-loading a little difficult as it is on a main road. The whole building was exceptionally clean, there was a lift which was very handy. The staff were very very friendly when we saw them and the apartment had everything in that we needed. We would definitely stay here again. It is only a 5 minute walk down to the Quayside too.
