Top hotels in Jesmond
Cairn Hotel Newcastle Jesmond
We stayed in hotel across as we had a twin room. There was zero security as the keycard access was non-existent so anyone could (and did) just walk in off the street all the way upto the bedrooms. There was a massive fight right outside our bedroom with a loads of lads in the night. Terrible

Whites Hotel
Fairly standard twin room. Décor and facilities a bit dated perhaps but clean and quite acceptable for one night stay or weekend away. Continental breakfast little more than bread and cereal. Busy local bar on ground floor. 10 minutes from nearest Metro or perhaps 25-30 from the city centre.
