Why Concert-goers love it

Fans love the Great North Hotel for its peaceful location just a short drive or taxi ride from venues like St. James’ Park and the O2 City Hall. It's far enough from the noise to catch some rest, but close enough to be in your seat before the lights go down. The 24-hour front desk and flexible check-in from 2:00 PM make late arrivals after a gig no problem.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about chill vibes than club nights, it's just a short ride to Newcastle’s buzzing nightlife. Whether you’re after local pubs, cocktail lounges, or live music spots, you’ll find plenty nearby. For quieter evenings, unwind at the hotel bar with a craft drink in hand.

What People Say

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that while the hotel is modern, it doesn't have many frills—perfect if you're here to see shows, not stay in. It's also a short drive or taxi into town, so it’s not ideal for those wanting to walk everywhere.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to Newcastle for a concert, the Great North Hotel is a smart pick—stylish, quiet, and just close enough to the action.
