Top hotels in Grainger Town
Maldron Hotel Newcastle
Staff were very helpful, I was able to check into my room 2h early and check our 2h late (late checkout fee). Room was large, cold (as I like it) with plenty of plugs including USB on the sockets. Breakfast was good. The best was comfortable.

Hotel Indigo Newcastle by IHG
I really liked this hotel. Conveniently located near train station but quiet. My only concern was that the restaurant is very limited in its offerings (primarily chicken). I was glad to see a broader range of options for breakfast, at least. Overall a nice hotel but I wouldn’t count on the restaurant ...
