Best Western New Kent Hotel

Classic Comfort Close to the Action

Modern convenience meets traditional hospitality at the Best Western New Kent Hotel, a privately owned, family-run stay located in the leafy suburb of Jesmond, Newcastle. Just a short ride from the city center and top music venues, this hotel blends warm Geordie charm with a quiet, relaxed atmosphere—perfect after a high-energy show.
The hotel has been welcoming guests for over 20 years and is known for its friendly service, good food, and peaceful vibe. With limited on-site parking and easy access to public transport, it's a smart pick for concert nights in the city.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located in a quieter neighborhood but still just minutes from central Newcastle, the hotel offers a calm retreat after a night out. Local Metro connections make it easy to reach major venues without needing a car, and the late 3:00 PM check-in means you can arrive at your own pace. Guests love the balance of peace and proximity, especially after a big gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want a calm base before heading out
• Solo travelers ticking off a dream concert
• Couples planning a romantic weekend with live music
• Fans looking for a quieter post-show recovery
• Budget-conscious music lovers seeking good value in a great location

Food and Drink Options

The hotel is known for its hearty food and friendly service. While there's no 24/7 room service, the on-site restaurant serves satisfying meals, and you're just a short stroll from Jesmond’s many cafés, pubs, and late-night eateries. Breakfast is available, so you can refuel after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more of a peaceful retreat, the vibrant social scene of Jesmond is right outside your door. From trendy cocktail bars to cozy pubs with local ales, it’s easy to keep the night going—or wind it down—without heading back into the city.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the warm, welcoming staff and the relaxed, homey feel of the hotel. Many note the excellent value for money, especially given the proximity to the city. The peaceful location is a big hit with those needing a good night’s sleep after a show.

Areas for Improvement

Parking is limited, so plan ahead if you're arriving by car. Some guests mention the décor is a bit traditional—but most agree this adds to the charm. If you're looking for ultra-modern luxury, this might not be your match, but it's well-maintained and clean.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a show in Newcastle and want a relaxing, friendly base that’s close to the action but far from the noise, the Best Western New Kent Hotel is a solid choice.
