The property is not a hotel, it’s a building with a bunch of apartments or rooms with no staff. There is no parking and it’s challenging with any luggage. We ended up parking at the city lot 10 minutes walk away. We had major challenges getting Ubers as this is a small town and most Ubers we got we had to wait 20 minutes plus. The room itself was nice and clean and close to town. Overall I would not recommend to anyone who plans to drive there with luggage.

Nice Break in Newark

31 Castle Gate gave us a very clean and comfortable 2 night stay . Private and quiet accommodation clear instruction re parking facilities. Easy access to shops, cafe and relaxing meal/ drink in the evening sat by the canal. Initial access wasn't granted by the code given but a very quickly answered call gave us access for the stay. Thank you to Daniel - very helpful and he also checked in with us to make sure access was ok . Would use the accommodation again .

Like the security for the rooms, the facilities and being able to put an evening meal together rather than paying to eat out. Also as i currently work in Newark it's very handy for that. Not to be put off but it's also very handy for shopping, eating and drinking also both the train stations ate within walking distance with Castle Station closer than Northgate. No doubt i'll be sraying again soon.

Shoulda got a Travelodge!!

Ok, the positives. We were in Magnus suite which was warm & spacious with a comfortable bed. The kitchen appliances were nice & looked fairly new. The building is very well located for the town and is opposite the Registry Office. But If you are arriving in the pouring rain & dark as we did at 4pm this place is very difficult to find, not sure even the locals know it's there! Black plaques on black doors are not easily read & we walked past it at first. There's no parking, which we were aware of and you are given suggestions where to park, one of which is free overnight. This is a pub and easily missed if you are in a flow of traffic. We eventually found a car park 5 minutes walk away & reasonable for 24 hours. We found we were able to get into the courtyard but not the suite! It's a press button pad and after several attempts we rang the help number, need to press the buttons lightly. Once in, soaked through, all we wanted was a cup of tea, no tea bags, Luckily we had taken 4 tea bags just in case, but could only have the 1 cup. Washed up the mugs, no drying up cloth, and the wash up liquid container was sticky &less than half full. Also a dirty serviette on the table. The bathroom is small there's a heated towel rail but the loo seat was a bit skewiff. The toiletries were well used! In the morning a shower, but shower gel container was empty! The plug thing wouldn't stay down in the sink, we found a pebble stuck in it. Attention needs paying to the cleaning!

The room was filthy, looked like it has been used and mattress were only tied up to make things seem alright. Floor had earings and dirts from previous stays, drawers were misplaced like someone was in the room previously. There is some “mysterious” wooden door in the bathroom which is locked and can’t be opened, which I couldn’t actually tell what was behind it, but it was pretty freaky. In addition, kitchen unit looked dirty and dark with no light to be turned on(lamp was burnt). After all that the room didn’t even have an inside lock while the way to enter was a passcode!!! (Anyone who recently stayed there could break in easily), felt really unsafe. I didn’t stay there more than 10 mins and I had go searching for another place to stay in the middle of the night.(when I “checked in”) Anyways, terrible, unpleasant experience

Really nice building and on initial glance the room was great. Great size and lots of space with kitchenette too. Location great and parking round the corner was £3 for overnight so can’t complain at that! I’d recommend the apartment overall but there were a couple of reasons that I would mark it down: grout in the bathroom was dirty, a dirty sock in the bed drawer, guests clothing in two drawers which they had left behind.

Ok, but not again.

Bed was great for sex I absolutely smashed my girlfriend all over the room but sadly when I was having a shower, the handle fell off and also the door nob to the hallway/room was already broken off. The radiator was on some weird timer. (Couldn’t find the thermostat) microwave and kettle were sound and also the plates and cutlery were also clean. There was also one corner piece of rubbish which wasn’t mine.
