Cairn Hotel Newcastle Jesmond
The staff are really helpful. We had a probkem with the heating in our room without any fuss we were hiven another room. Breakfast was lovely and fresh. I opted for the continental breakfast which was good but I did think it was a bit expensive. The same price as the Full English @ £13.95!

Kensington House by Warren Collection
Cleanliness was great and the apartment was spacious and warm. The shower in the front bedroom en suite needs maintenance as the water came out of the pipe and not the shower head! It wasn’t such an issue as there was another shower in the apartment. Overall a great stay very near to the university ...
