The Newark is a budget hotel about a mile from Peterborough city centre, so it may not be ideal for tourists (it's popular with forwarders, construction workers and such). But you can easily reach it by bus (lines 5, 5a) from the centre.
The hotel was still being refurbished when I arrived, and my en-suite double was certainly modern and clean. The bathroom facilities I found to be excellent, except there was no rag for the towels to dry, and the bathroom door didn't have a cylinder (yet?). The shower was big (no curtain or door though), and the water pressure adequate (not a given in budget hotels). The bed was comfy, and there was enough storage for my clothes and stuff. A 32" flat-screen Tv was provided, with a remote. Free Wifi was available, too. I really wish they would have provided a toilet brush though!
Early check-in went smoothly (direct email contact with the hotel was excellent), don't be put off by the gloomy-looking reception area. There's a very basically furnished garden to the back where you can hang out.
The room service was a bit spotty, but I really didn't need it every day anyway. ;)

Solid Budget Hotel a Mile from the City Centre. Adequate Amenities, Clean Room and Bath

One of the weirdest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. More catered for labourers and construction workers. Halls that you’d see the twins from the shining in. No staff over night which is a concern, having said that at least we didn’t eat there, even though they were open during covid, I can’t add anything else. Other than most haunted should maybe film there at night. Might turn out to be a drunk construction worker who has got lost. 2/10

Lockdown nightmare

The good points, the receptionist was ever so helpful and our rooms were clean. On site parking. The not so good points, some of the furniture was broken and very noisy as its on a busy road so ask for a back room. The light in the bathroom wasn't working but repaired the following day. Expensive for what it was.

It's OK

I was booked in to the hotel with a colleague, and on arrival we both thought the hotel was closed, this was due to the poor lighting and was told to park in the car park at the rear of the building. The car park area smelt strongly of cannabis's  and once inside the reception area was very dull, on arriving at my room it was very dusty with a fan in the room full of dust and a smell.
The toilet and shower was shared and the light is on a timer and it only last about 2 minutes.

I have traveled around the UK and this is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in, it need closing for a deep clean and updating and as the other hotels in the area were full, so I had to stay for a few days. The main photos make it look nice, but its not..

Dirty and very dusty

Arrived a couple of hours early and was delighted to be able to check in early, that's the good part.
The room was extremely dated and scruffy (see pictures). Our room looked out over the courtyard and car park. In the evening there was loud shouting and swearing in that area. I looked out to see drunk males threatening each other and then unbelievably one of the males CS spray the other. Completely scary.
In the morning we went down for breakfast. Nobody about, just some cereal and old marmalade and margerine. No sign of bread or milk. I phoned the manager and 5 minutes later one of the staff appeared in her pyjamas to show us some milk and bread in a fridge that was for long term residents of the hotel.
Although we had booked for 2 nights we immediately checked out.
I have stayed in dozens of hotels all over the world and the UK. This would be in my top 5 worst!

Wow! One of the worst

well as i had already booked last year for this years stay, i arrived at the newark on the saturday before truck fest, i was welcomed with a lovely smile by fran, went to my usual room on ground floor as i am registured disabled, my stay was up to parr. i know this hotel is going through changes at mo with been redecorated and building work o/side but its still worth a stay there, i class this hotel as my second home as i have been coming to stay here since 2011. my full english breakfasts was absolutely delishious & tastey, and i know if you fancy an evening meal & it costs extra £10 its well worth it. the car park is ideal for visitors  & is secure.

truck fest 2022

Again i had booked last yr for the newark for my yearly visit to truck fest, which was my 11th year to both the hotel & truck fest. was welcomed by mgr and he assisted me with my suitcase as i am registured disabled, i love this hotel.i booked for two nights from the saturday to the monday, breakfast was spot on as usual i had the full english mmm. and sunday night i asked if was possible to rustle up me something to eat, so ordered fish n chips at additional £10 but looked both beautiful and delish. this is budget hot but ideal for going to events like the truck fest.

truck fest 2021

I had origionaly booked the newark for 1st w/end of may for my 10th yearly visit for truckfest, but had been rebooked to the august bank holiday of 29/8/2020 due to the coronavirus. Anyway on arrival was greeted with a welcome on nice to see you again,& was told all about the social distancing guidance rules & that breakfasts will be at staggered times upto 8am,& filled in track n trace. I went to my usual room GO5 which is an en-suite and ideal for me as i am registured disabled. anyway my whole weekend was brilliant and relaxing and going to the truckfest for the 10th year in a row, my breakfasts where spot on & to the newarks high standard, and deff hit the spot in the mornings, i would really recommend this hotel to anyone visiting peterborough.

10th yearly visit truckfest

Met up with my Bro for a family get together - a little disappointing start as the twin room had no en suite which wasn’t clear when booking via Expedia .  The room was clean and comfortable and the shared shower room was also clean - just have to time it right when you need to use it.   The location is ok - fairly
Quiet area about 15-20mins walk from town centre and there is a car park to the rear.  Didn’t try the bar or evening menu - walked into town for a curry but the following morning enjoyed a very hearty full English breakfast - very nicely cooked to order.

Ok for a stop over

I have stayed at the Newark twice now for small work trips.  I had a room without a bathroom but very close to the communal shower rooms.  

The hotel was very well located being a 15 to 20 minute walk to the centre.  it's on a main road which connects easily to the motorway system and was very easy to find.  There is ample free parking at the hotel and on nearby roads. 

The room was very clean and cosy and a good size.  My room wasn't ensuite but there were two very clean shower rooms just outside. I never had a problem for showering. 

There is a bar and a dining room at the hotel but I didn't eat there.  Breakfast was £5 but was nothing special. 

Staff were friendly and efficient.  Check in and check out were likewise efficient.  

If I have to stay over in Peterborough again I will try to stay here.  I recommend the hotel.
