stayed here Saturday night "nightmare", Disco go's on till 3am, comes out then singing, shouting & swearing till about 4am when the last taxi leaves. The noise vibrates thro' the whole place, no place if you want to get any sleep. This is the only hotel I've ever stayed in where I had to pay before I went to my... More

After seeing reviews on here we were apprehensive but had already booked. Our room was fine with great views of the seafront. Loads of space and very clean. Staff were no problem. The girl who took breakfast orders was very polite and efficient. The breakfast itself was very nice and served quickly. There is noise from the nightclub but that... More

We booked in as a group for a night in Whitley bay. The room was £75 per room. For that money you can have a very clean, modern room in just about any place in the uk. The Rex is none of those things. From foyer to room the place is in need of stripping, construction work and full refurb.... More

Stayed here for one night last weekend, first room had lovely views over the sea front but room was filthy & stank of smoke, we were next door to a room that had no handle on the (open) door & looked like it had been ransacked, which did not fill us with confidence about leaving our valuables in the room....

The miserable grumpy old lady who I presume owns this dump sent me a receipt for £820 pounds so when I phoned to pay the balance she said the computer was down but she would send the confirmation in the post...

Thank you for your response and I have checked certain details you state. You originally booked on the 5th Feb then increased your reservation on the 4th April ,hence the differential from the original quotation. We would most certainly refund any guest if there was an overcharge. On arrival I found your group to be most polite and I received... More

I stayed here midweek on my own, I asked for a sea view but was not given one even though the hotel was nowhere near busy. My room was large, I had a double bed and very comfy it was, however I was actually scared to walk round without shoes on as everywhere was dirty. The dressing table chair had... More
