Our night at the Newcastle 'Hampton by Hilton' in 2022 room 316.
We decided to have a night out in Newcastle-upon-Tyne for my birthday (£75.00 per double room). So chose the 'Hampton by Hilton'. This hotel is in the centre of Newcastle, and in easy walking distance from the train station and a local multi-story car park (£12.00 per night in 2022).

ibis Hotel Southampton - 2022 - Our trip from Durham to Southampton the night before we board our very first cruise ship 'Sky Princess'. The ibis is a short walk from Southampton Central train station! (even pulling suitcases). It was a steal at £90.00 per room, per night at time of booking (breakfast was extra) and perfect location for mayflower terminal.

Hi how far is it from the Train station
It is straight opposite.. you just have to cros the road.. can't get any closer👍
Thank you looking for a really good budget hotel for few days for my son's 15 birthday thank you XX
@@KirstyKentfield-b8o no problem. Its perfectly located for train station/subway/town shopping and river side
Does anyone have any memories or photos of the 6 trampolines with the tractor tire in the middle at the crocodile park I remember visiting the park as a kid. I’ve been looking
No i cant remember seeing them. Ive looked though all my pics and video and can't see them anywhere😢
That's a lovely cabin. Not keen on the shower curtains, at least they're not clingy! Bed looks comfy. Ah the sound of the ocean when you opened the balcony door! Perfect 🍻
I should just record the sea sound.. id fall asleep every night with ease..
You must be very pro Gateshead side of the river to NOT call it the ..NEWCASTLE Hilton ,As MOST People Do..OR at Least..OMIT the word Newcastle in describing its name …..🤷♂️
Lol no, not at all! just giving it. It's official title so it doesn't get confused with the "Newcastle Hampton by hilton"
We enjoyed watching your video. Looks like a great room for the price and location. We have subscribed to your channel and are looking forward to seeing your future content 😀
Many thanks. Weve both just changed jobs so content is a little thin at the moment but thank you for subscribing and we will be doing more content asap.. if you have any feedback we would be very grateful .. we're learning all the time.. many thanks Jim&Dwayne
Excellent series of videos about your cruise. Very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Thank you very much. It was our first attempt so hopefully we can get better at it.. if there is anything we missed that you would have liked to see let us know!! We hope to be be doing more.. if you would consider subscribing we would be very grateful..
I stayed at Ibis LHR a few times and the rooms are similar. However, the use of an oscillating fan; no air conditioning? Seems only half a step above Ibis Budget, but a nice lobby. We are making plans for a cruise. Thank you for the video!
Your welcome.. 👍enjoy your planning.. have a great cruise..
Loved your video - very happy memories of our week on Sky Princess last September. We will be sailing in C211 next year so very close to the cabin you were in - how did you find the movement of the ship etc? We were midships last time and had no problems but that one's quite a lot further forward.
Thank for the comment. Sorry its taken me so long to reply.. we didnt feel the movement at all.. we did have excellant weather(even crossing biscay)..
The international cafe is my most favorite place ever!!!!
Being in the atrium and center of the ship and open 24 hours makes it a perfect stop off..👍
Hope you enjoyed a lovely time in Newcastle? How long did you stay at the hotel and was the room expensive? 🤔 xxx
Was just one night unfortunately! But is lovely hotel in perfect location.(walking distance to town/bars/restaurants /The Sage & The baltic Flour mill) it has its own parking (under the building) unfortunately we didnt use the dinning room or the swimming pool. It was £86.67 for room and £17.33 for parking for the night. We stayed on a friday night which is alot cheaper than saturdays.. hope this helps..
Nice to see the smoking area at the end. We found Gabriel an excellent server there. 👍
Dwayne smokes and atleast out there it wasnt bad and I could join him(i only went in churchills once as didnt like it as a non smoker myself).. Sam was our server and he was amazing .. almost had our drinks ready before we sat down.. we couldnt fault the service.. was great for our first cruise..
Good vlog well done.😀. I noticed Josh Daniels was on your sailing , we watched his adult show in June he was so funny. Good luck with future videos.👍
He was great.. thanks very much..
Balcony looks a good size. Shower curtains bug me but it’s interesting that you say they’re a different material so they’re not so bad. Thanks for sharing this one!
Thanks for the comment.👍. Yes the material is different to normal shower curtains and is weighted so doesnt stick to you..glad we could help.. any other questions you know where we are.. many thanks ..Jim&Dwayne..
Cracking video lads, just booked to him on Sky in may next year.
👍glad you enjoyed it.. any questions we will try and answer.. what ports you visiting?
@@hoxtravels gonna be going to kristiansand, Skagen, Oslo and Copenhagen, to be honest though the ship is the holiday for me. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍
The royal class are lovely. Loads of deck and pool space. You doing inside or balcony..? The views will be amazing either way.. enjoy.. we just looking now for our next trip.. so many to choose from we cant decide..
@@hoxtravels my only slight concern is things to do for the kids (6&7) but the deal was too good to pass up !!!!
They will love the kids club and pool deck is great . Always something going on ..
There is something satisfying about burger and fries, child like but well worth it.
finger food is soo comforting..😁👍
thanks so much guys, love your videos - good music and not filled with loads of talking - the great vids do all the talking.5 stars from me xxx
Orr thanks Sheila.. To be honest we still a bit shy in front of camera when filming. Its been a steep learning curve(lots of lessons learnt) we can only get better.. Glad your along for the adventure. If you have any questions or feedback let us know. Many thanks Jim&Dwayne x
Nice lil vlog, good job lads. Lingered a bit too long on iona though zzzz! 🤪
Thanks for the feedback. Lesson learnt.. 👍
Nothing like a first time...lol Hope it was awesome! Nice job so far!
It was amazing. Hope the next cruise is as good.. thanks! We trying our best.. more to come.. soon !
Good luck with your vlogs, I will follow them with interest. We are on Sky Princess in late September - a bucket list cruise following Mrs G's retirement and a bit of ill health. Southampton to Canada/Usa/Canada and back. If you havent cruised a lot beware of the wardrobe pixies, once you are fast asleep they sneak out and make tucks in all your clothes.
Lol they definitely do..Thanks for joining us.. We hope yous have a smooth crossing. We're jealous.
Would you recommend sky princess?
Definitely. She is a lovely ship.. service , food and drinks amazing.. wifi has its moments but app worked fine when we were on for ordering.. was a very relaxing ship..
@@hoxtravels we go in October, Sky princess, 10 nights ,Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Madera &Vigo
Excellent.. bay of biscay should be still smooth by then. You will have a great cruise. Did you get princess plus package? Definitely worth it even if you dont drink much.
@@hoxtravels certainly ,we like a drink or two ,thanks for your feedback ,mike
The speed and jerkiness of the video made it impossible for me to watch as it made me feel nauseated. Shame as it looked really good otherwise
Thank you for the feedback .. i had the setting on the camera wrong. So couldnt sort it in post production.. its a big learning curve and a mistake i wont make again.. but again many thanks..
Getting started is the hardest part, good job with many other areas of the video.
Many thanks.
I’m your number 24 subscriber wishing you guys success and enjoyable adventure! I’m on board Sky Princess last March 2022 Transatlantic cruise. Sky Princess is magnificent ship. The best service and excellent food. Enjoy! looking forward to watch part 2.
Thank you very much Rick D.. we are on with the rest of the cruise series now.. its our first one (and a steep learning curve) so any pissitive feedback is greatly appreciated. 💖👍
Hope you had a great cruise - we were on this cruise 😊😊😊. Keep an eye out on our vlogs, you might see yourselves - we will be looking for ourselves on yours 😂😂😂
Lol we will too.. It was a great cruise for our first.. we cant wait for the next..
@@hoxtravels sounds like you caught the cruise bug 😀
@@TravelwithUsLynnePaul defo. Especially with the state of flights at the moment and now princess and other are dropping supervised testing ..
It's a bit posh.
Yip no roughing it!!
Wow, one's expected at 2am 4/5/22 so I'm not sure if we'll see anything like this or at all.
