Hotel feels very modern and new. Very quiet even rooms facing the road. Hotel is perfectly positioned if you are catching a show at The Fire Station or heading to a Sunderland match. Direct access to the new bridge leading to the Stadium of Light very simple. Lots of restaurants and bars adjoining the hotel too.

Would definitely stay again! Perfect location for the theatre with plenty of bars and places to eat. Downside was no parking at the hotel, but parked in the Sunniside Multi Storey Car Park from 4pm to 8.30am and it cost £10.

One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in! Beautifully decorated and very clean throughout. Friendly, helpful staff. Speedy checking and checkout experience. Room was very quiet with a great view and had everything we needed in it. Would definitely recommend!
