For the price, this was outstanding value. £48 for a comfortable, warm room (It was minus 6 outside), nice shower, comfortable bed, telly. The area is fantastic with lots of pubs, bars and excellent restaurants, so Jesmond is better than central Newcastle if you want amenities. There's even a Waitrose almost next door. The down side of all this, if it bothers you, is the noise from outside which goes on until about 11.30pm. It certainly didn't bother me. There are two buildings as part of the Cairn group. I was in the building opposite which is a 2 minute walk. The walls are very thin. I could hear every detail of what was going on in the room next to me, which was limited to 20 minutes of enthusiastic sex at 5pm, then nothing (!). There was a notice in the room advertising that free ear plugs can be obtained from reception, so suspect that this goes on quite a bit. I'd definitely return. Love Jesmond and the price is great for business trips and even leisure breaks in the area.
