The Spotlight on County Hotel Newcastle

Historic Charm Meets Modern Comfort in Newcastle's Heart

Modern, stylish, and full of character, the County Hotel Newcastle blends 19th-century elegance with contemporary design. Located directly opposite Newcastle’s Central Rail and Bus Station, it’s the perfect launchpad for exploring the city—or heading straight to a concert. This 4-star independent hotel places you within a 10-minute walk of iconic venues like the O2 Academy and Metro Radio Arena.

Why Concert-goers love it

With the main train station just across the street, getting in and out of the city for a show couldn’t be simpler. You’re just a short walk to live music venues, so there’s no need to worry about late-night taxis. Despite the central location, rooms are surprisingly quiet thanks to thoughtful refurbishment and soundproofing. Check-in from 14:00 and enjoy a generous 12:00 check-out—ideal after a late night out.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a big gig
  • Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list band
  • Couples making a weekend escape around a show
  • Fans wanting a quieter, comfy post-concert retreat
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without compromise

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Hudson restaurant serves up British and international fare with a local twist—perfect for a pre-show dinner or post-show bite. Room service is available 24/7, so no worries if you're hungry after the encore. The lounge bar is laid-back and ideal for grabbing a drink while catching the game. And yes, there’s breakfast available after your late-night music fix.

Nightlife Options

From your doorstep, it’s just a short stroll to some of Newcastle’s best bars, clubs, and the buzzing Quayside. Prefer to keep it low-key? The hotel’s lounge bar offers a more relaxed vibe with large screens and a solid drinks list featuring local brews.

What People Say

Guests love the unbeatable location across from Central Station and how easy it is to walk to concerts, shopping, and nightlife. Many highlight the friendly staff, modern rooms with comfy beds, and the stylish yet welcoming decor. Reviewers also rave about the value for money and clean, well-equipped bathrooms.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that certain rooms are on the smaller side, especially if you’re traveling with lots of gear. Others note that the lively location can come with a bit of city noise—though most say it’s minimal and didn’t disturb their stay.

The Bottom Line

With its central location, modern comforts, and music venue proximity, County Hotel Newcastle is a top pick for concert-goers looking for convenience without sacrificing style.

Ok, no air con though!

Liked: The location is good, the rooms were a fair size, the bed was comfy too.
Disliked: It said there was air con and there wasn’t, the window only opened an inch so the room was absolutely boiling - not ideal during a heatwave when it was 28° degrees.

Liked: Small double but room was actually quite large for a UK city hotel. Room had everything a traveler needs - luggage rack, closet, phone, kettle, fridge, big screen TV, full length mirror, kleenex - a bonus these days, wide carpeted stairs since I like to walk up and down for some exercise, nice restaurant and bar, an excellent value directly across the street from the Railway Station and the Metro!

Great hotel - no air...

Liked: Great location lovely room would have been very happy with the stay except for the stifling heat in the room making it uncomfortable to sleep
Disliked: It was an exceptionally hot day and the windows only opened a little Returning late to the hotel we found the room unbearably hot and sleep impossible On checking out the clerk said did we find the fan in the wardrobe! As it was a one night stay we hadn’t looked!
