Britannia Grand Hotel Gosforth Park Newcastle - Britain's Worst Rated Hotel Chain 

During the 70's and 80's bands who played in Newcastle invariably stayed at the Gosforth Park Hotel, AC/DC always did up to 82, it's always been considered a really good hotel due to the facilities it has

Its the Northumberland Plate and Ladies Day today 29th June

I worked in it as a receptionist in the 80s (lots of radio and tv celebrities as well as bands) and for long while it was a privately owned hotel that had a very prestigious reputation, Kevin Keegan had a suite that he was in long term when he was Manager of Newcastle United football team.

The pub over the road is really good. The falcons Nest it's called I often go there for food

I think it goes in the Gosforth Park's favour that Britannia Hotels has only comparatively recently taken it over. Give it a few more years of neglect and decay and it'll match the rest of their portfolio.b

I did all of my MOT training at Gosforth when I used to fix cars. Just returned from Newcastle today funnily enough after visiting The Hoppings Fair.

For a second there I thought it said worst hotel in china 😂😂😂 great video ❤

My dad had a gym membership here back in the 90s and me and brother used to go swimming, play squash etc. It was a swallow hotel then. Doesn't look like it's changed much since then though.

Great video! Hotel on the outside looks old and dated, but inside looks nice and clean with good facilities!

Evenin strange youtuber 😊 that room looks really nice wow a brilliant clean kettle!! love the floor in in the bathroom well worth the cash till the next one 😊

Very nice reception

Another cracking review 👌

Very nice hotel ...............great review

You'll have to try The Adelphi in Liverpool

Looks great.what I like to see in the bathroom is a shaver socket.

I usually stay in the Hampton By HIlton if I'm in Newcastle (usually getting there by train). Very handy as it's just across the road the station. Very nice place and I know when I went a few months ago they were charging £75 pound a night during the week (not sure of the weekend rate as only stayed in the week). I have also done the Royal Station Hotel in the past which is a nice old building.

I stay in a vast number of hotels and I would NEVER EVER put a suitcase on the desk! Do you think the desk is going to be cleaned after you? If there is no stand, put the suitcase on the floor.

Glad to see you back 👍

Thank you for sharing,

I think this is a beautiful hotel. I would definitely stay here.

Just to say I stayed they over night and it was very nice in 2017

Hi, thought for a Britania hotel was very good, very clean just a shame about the food. Good value for the price. Thanks

that hotel still has so many marriott features and decor bits left in it if you know what to look for

That’s impressive

Most of Gosforth was rebuilt in the 60s and 70s and the archetecture usually screams it.

I want to try the Hilton near Doncaster racecourse, have you tried there? Your room looks nice 👍

Back in the day this hotel was the place to be ....any famous people performing in Newcastle would always stay here

Sure it won't be long before they bring it down to the usual Britannia standard.

Has your mates given up Hotel Huter and Adams rotten rooms.

You can do a lot worse than Britannia these days.

No illegal immigrants. !! That's a change for this hotel. It must to far from Dover 😂

Why are you always so keen to see a bag stand? We always just put our bags on the floor
