The Customs House is a great place to begin discovering South Shields. This arts and culture attraction is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Set aside time for other sights like Tynemouth Aquarium, Stadium of Light, and Wet 'n' Wild Water Park to make the most of what's on offer in the area.

The only thing we didn't like was our room,it was absolutely roasting even with the heating off and a fan on. We also had to sleep with no covers on it was so warm. Otherwise we have no complaints,the weekend was brilliant and hotel not far from metro station (west jesmond)

9.4/10 Exceptional! (543 reviews)

I didn’t like the fact that the shower and wash basin were in the room and only the wc was separate. The music in the evening in the bar area was too loud but the guy refused to turn it down slightly despite a polite request and the fact that our group was the only one there and we couldn’t hear above the noise. My keycard didn’t work and I couldn’t get into my room at the end of the evening.

Reception was nice, but very badly situated. Very limited free parking spaces. Rooms are very dated. Room was only accessible via stairs. Tea & coffee making facilities - spoons were dirty. Lack of toilet roll in room. Stairwell hand rail was sticky and dirty. Breakfast was lovely. But again cutlery was dirty, tea stains on teaspoon. Used packets of sugar left on the table. Bar staff were good. Not enough staff in breakfast restaurant.
