The Shortland is an unassuming accommodation option that offers an on-site bar and bistro. Located in Jesmond, the hotel is approximately 20 minutes away on foot from the University of Newcastle. The straightforward rooms at the Shortland all come equipped with a television, refrigerator and tea/coffee making facilities. Select rooms boast en-suite facilities, while other accommodations have access to a shared bathroom. On-site parking is supplied by the accommodation at no additional cost. The property also contains a children’s play area, while watching live sport is a regular feature in the bar area. Open every day for lunch and dinner, Shorty Bistro serves a tasty choice of casual meals and pub favourites. A shared kitchen area is also available. Newcastle city centre is a 20-minute drive from the hotel, while Nobbys Beach and Newcastle Airport can both be reached in less than 25 minutes by car.
In terms of customer service, the hotel is excellent - based on the sentiments of previous guests. Along with an apparently friendly and warm demeanour, the staff members have been said to go out of their way to help and accommodate when needed.
The bar and bistro area of the accommodation was typically popular with former visitors. In particular, the food served at the bistro has been commended on a regular basis.
With it being relatively close to points of interest such as the University of Newcastle and Newcastle Airport, the hotel's location was handy for the needs of most past guests. Furthermore, and to enhance the convenience provided, the property also reportedly contains an ample amount of free on-site parking spaces.
The rooms were not judged favourably overall by a notable amount of past visitors that stayed at the accommodation. As well as being considered small at times, the rooms - due to the omission of air conditioning - were occasionally described as overly hot and stuffy during the summer months.
As en-suite facilities are not standard with every room, select accommodation's only have access to a shared bathroom - an understandable grievance for previous guests of the hotel. Along with the inconvenience brought upon using such facilities, the cleanliness of the shared bathroom was also criticised at times.
Despite the fact that the on-site bistro serves food for lunch and dinner, the accommodation does not currently offer a breakfast option. As a result, the lack of any breakfast was seen in a negative light by numerous former visitors.
