The Spotlight on Hotel Express Newcastle Gateshead

Affordable Base Near the Buzz of Newcastle

Modern and straightforward, Hotel Express Newcastle Gateshead offers budget-friendly comfort just outside the city center. Located only 1.1 miles from Newcastle's vibrant heart, this hotel is a convenient choice for those catching a gig and needing a good night’s rest. With free on-site parking, unlimited WiFi, and 24-hour reception, it’s all about ease and value here.

The hotel sits just a short drive from key venues like Metro Radio Arena and St. James’ Park, making it ideal for concert-goers who want to stay close without the city center price tag.

Why Concert-goers love it

Being just over a mile from top venues means you can easily walk or grab a short taxi to your gig—no need to stress about late-night transport. The 24/7 front desk is a bonus if your concert runs late, and free secure parking makes it easy for those driving in. Despite its close-to-the-action location, the hotel remains in a quieter part of Gateshead, offering a chance to wind down post-show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends wanting a budget-friendly base with easy access to bars and venues
  • Solo travelers chasing a dream gig in Newcastle
  • Couples making a weekend of music and city sights
  • Fans who want a quieter space after the show
  • Budget-conscious travelers who still want comfort and convenience

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, tea and coffee making facilities in every room help with late-night cravings. You’re also just a short distance from the Quayside and Metrocentre, packed with a variety of bars, restaurants, and late-night eats. For breakfast after a long night out, several nearby cafés open early and serve hearty meals.

Nightlife Options

The nearby Quayside area, just 2 miles away, is home to some of Newcastle’s trendiest bars and lounges. Whether you're after a pre-concert pint or a post-show wind-down, there's no shortage of nightlife within easy reach. While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re close to the city's best spots for it.

What People Say

Guests consistently mention the great value for money, friendly 24-hour staff, and free parking as standout features. Many highlight the location as ideal for events at the arena or football stadium. Rooms are described as simple but clean, with fast WiFi and good showers.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury stay—you might find the décor a bit dated and the walls a little thin. Some guests mention noise from nearby roads, so light sleepers may want to pack earplugs. Still, for the price and location, most agree it’s a solid deal.

The Bottom Line

If you’re catching a concert in Newcastle and want a no-fuss, affordable place to crash nearby, Hotel Express Newcastle Gateshead hits the right notes.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

lots of issues to be...

Liked: location and price
Disliked: no lift. multiple stairs to rooms. would not suit anyone with mobility issues. The rooms were in desperate need of a refit with lots of issues. shower head rail hanging off. tv not working that well, but more importantly, the tv surround was loose it could be pulled away from the screen itself, exposing the inside circuit boards of the tv (very dangerous). only 1 towel between two people. breakfast was ok and the cook was very pleasant and chatty. in fact all the staff were fine. it just needs a total refit . the curtains in the dining room were hanging down and broken the toilet was too small in the room and moved around when you sat on it, as did the one near the dining room. no shelves in the bathroom for toiletries, and the shower doors seals were hanging off, so water went everywhere. we had room 3 down 3 flights of stairs which was next to the main road so the traffic woke us up a few times.my partner suffers from a back and hip.issue so we had to use the fire exit to leave the premises or struggle up the stairs.would i go back,no the.only positive thing was it was cheap at 106.00 for 2 nights. if you want somewhere just to sleep, it passes barely. any more, and it doesn't.

Not the best experience

Liked: Greeted nicely by staff on arrival. Bed was pretty comfy and linen was clean. Possible to walk to the city centre or the metro.
Disliked: The room smelt of cigarette smoke, enough that they had to spray it on arrival. By the time we returned from an evening meal out it was horrible again. The windows weren't lockable - one wouldn't close. They looked out onto a ground level and, on the first night, we had to listen to a drunk outside the window on the phone to his friend. The room was fairly run down and access to the gas room was via the ensuite and had been sellotaped off. By the second night there was no hot water left and the shower was cold. Had we not been out all day we would have checked out earlier. I've solo-travelled a lot before without issue but I don't think I would have felt safe staying here alone
