Enjoyed it here - quiet with few guests midweek which I enjoyed. Good sixed rooms - mine had a sit down space with sofa and occasional table. On Suite was more than adequate and comfy beds. No Guest Kitchen which was the only drawback but its still the best backpacker option in Newcastle when compared to alternatives. Location is tucked away just near the Laing Gallery - 5 min walk to Monument Metro and Eldon Square. I didn't opt for breakfast.

Lack of a Guest Kitchen. Locker arrangement can be a bit fiddly and noisy whilst putting padlock on and off.

Room was big enough, was put in a room clearly meant for at least 4 people when booked a private double. Had a large double bed and a bunk bed to myself. Toilet and shower facilities were unusual but worked. TV did not work but wasn't a big deal for me.

The initial moment when I walked into my room I wasn't sure if it was a mistake. I didn't think a private double would have so many beds and thought they may have made a mistake. Luckily this was not a mistake but the initial anxiety of potentially sharing my room wasnt fun. The TV not working during my visit wasn't great but isn't a necessity for me.

This is a 2-STAR establishment, sitting just above a bar-restaurant. I had a chicken burger with French fries the last night and it was good. So handy to have the bar just a couple of stair flights down. The room was basic but spacious; both the bedroom and bathroom were clean, and plenty of shower gels and shampoo were available. Being on the third floor was good, quiet, and away from the bar. The location is excellent, 10 minutes walk from the railway station, 4 minutes from Monument Metro stop and Grey St. Another good thing is the extended check in time in the evening.

Manning of the bar.

Great hostel/hotel in the downtown of Newcastle, not far from the Earl Grey monument and the Central rail station. Private rooms are available as well as traditional dorm rooms. Lots of European university students with some "mature students" as well. Great pub / dinning hall at the entrance to the building which is a brick walled, steel framed structure. If you don't mind stairs they are much quicker than the elevator. Private washroom in my large room with wall mounted TV screen, Nicely decorated room as well. Kabannas has two other locations in London and Liverpool. JAF

Unlike traditional hostels, there was no shared kitchen, but continental breakfast was available (at a cost) in the dinning hall.

Everything!!!! Honestly, really exceeded my expectations, the room was so spacious and comfortable, there was plenty of storage space and it just felt like the room was lending me a hand when I was trying to organise myself. The staff were great help and everyone just seemed happy to be there. Especially loved the coffee machine - it was really nice when we wanted a hot drink before bed/first thing.

A few rowdy guests but we were on a hostel floor and it was halloween so it was expected. Someone did accidentally get the wrong room and was trying to get into our flat before realising she was in the one next door. (not the properties fault though!)

The Kabannas came up on Booking.com and was the cheapest hotel available in Newcastle. The pictures looked decent so took a chance and I’m glad we did. The hotel is spotless, downstairs bar area is cool af, and the rooms are decent and genuinely I had an unbelievable night sleep (helped with mulled wine). Location is very good, no where near the noisy nightlife, but a short walking distance to the bars, 02, train station, Xmas markets EVERYTHING. Without blowing too much smoke up their ars*s and sounding like a bot review, there is a few things which could make the experience better hence a score of 8/10. Reception - no one present at all, there were a bunch of guests trying to check in and being confused how too. Check in/out - had text messages and emails from the hotel stating one time, where in reality these were wrong meaning we arrived later, and checked out earlier because we didn’t want to get charged (no sleep in for selbs). Bathroom - top tip, bring goggles and flip-flops. It’s an all in one bathroom meaning no room for activities 😮‍💨 and the dreaded shower curtain but tbf it was funny because our lass decked it whilst leaving due to the Wet ‘n’ Wild slip zone floor. 100% would and will be staying here again for Sam Fender next June. Oi oi

Typed it above my bad.

The overall design of the accommodation, its extremely beautiful. The lobby is well furnished with different kinds of chairs,sofa and tables which allow guests to choose their favorite spot. The multiple opportunities for rooms good as well as. Above all the price and the location is perfect. Separately, thanks for the wonderful hospitality by the staff.

The bathroom inside the room.It’s not about I don’t like it, it was fine, but something needs to be there so the visitors can dry the floor after using, or changing the quality of the floor so it gets dry easily.

We stayed in the Bunkalow room for 14 people. We had a separate entertainment area and adequate showers and toilets. Beds were comfortable and the room was nice and warm. The facilities were brilliant, great area for drinking in the bar, food available and really friendly and helpful staff. The location was also fab, only 5 minutes walk to the Bigg Market. Really enjoyed it.

My only - not complaint but suggestion - is in the bunkalow the door may need some wd40 and also suggest having something on the door to stop it slamming! When people are getting up in the night to use the toilet etc it’s quite loud! This is my only ‘gripe’ about the stay and it’s not a complaint!!

Friendly and helpful staff, great location relative to things to see and do in Newcastle. My fiancé and I stayed four nights in a private room with its own shower and bathroom, which was great-even had an extra bunk bed in our room that we didn't use. Other reviews made it seem like you had to pay for a towel, but we each got one towel (an extra towel does cost $$ though, as does the breakfast and other basics like toothbrushes, etc.). Also nice that our shower/bathroom had shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion provided. Oh, and there was laundry (washer and dryer) in the basement that you could use for free (just provide your own detergent), which was great!

Would've been nice if there was a refrigerator in the rooms or in a shared space to keep food cold, or if there was generally some sort of area to cook. Having to buy every bit of food you eat negates some of the savings of this place. Even with this place being like a hostel, there are plenty of hostels that provide those things as well as coffee and tea.

we were going for a concert at the o2 city hall and the location was perfect! 5min walk from it, but also super close to the centre the room was spacious, the price was good and it was super clean. the bed was big and comfortable. they have complimentary hot drinks (tea, coffee, chocolate…) at the reception and in that weather we truly loved them! all of the staff we interacted with were super nice as well

the shower was almost at the same level than the rest of the bathroom and the curtain a bit short, so it was a bit tough to not get water everywhere
