The Spotlight on Leonardo Hotel Newcastle Quayside

Riverside Comfort Close to the Action

Modern and welcoming, the Leonardo Hotel Newcastle Quayside sits right on the River Tyne, offering fantastic views over the iconic Millennium Bridge. With contemporary rooms, a laid-back vibe, and a location that’s just a short stroll from Newcastle’s bustling Quayside and top performance venues, this hotel is a great base for music fans looking to stay close to the buzz without being right in the thick of it.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just five minutes' walk from the renowned Sage Gateshead, making it ideal for catching a show and heading back without fuss. Despite being close to the action, the hotel’s riverside setting keeps things relaxed and quiet for a peaceful post-gig wind-down. Public transport is within easy reach thanks to Gateshead Metro Station (just 15 minutes away), and with 3pm check-in and 11am check-out, there’s enough flexibility for both pre-show prep and a lazy morning after.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading out for a big night
  • Solo travelers ticking off a must-see artist
  • Couples planning a romantic concert weekend
  • Fans who want a calmer spot to crash after the show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers seeking value with comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site coffee shop is perfect for a caffeine boost before heading out or the next morning. While there’s no 24/7 room service, you’re less than a mile from Newcastle’s Quayside with all its late-night eateries, restaurants, and bars. Breakfast is available on-site, which is a plus if you're recovering from a night of singing along.

Nightlife Options

Leonardo Hotel Newcastle Quayside is close to Newcastle’s vibrant nightlife scene, with bars, clubs, and live music spots just across the river. If you’re after something more low-key, the Quayside offers scenic evening strolls and cozy pubs within easy walking distance.

What People Say

Guests love the river views, the clean and spacious rooms, and the hotel’s walkability to major venues and attractions. Many reviews highlight the friendly staff and the peaceful location that still keeps you close to the nightlife.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel décor is a little dated in places, and parking can be a bit limited during busy times. That said, most agree these are minor issues given the value and location.

The Bottom Line

With riverside views, a relaxed vibe, and steps from Sage Gateshead and the Quayside, Leonardo Hotel Newcastle Quayside hits all the right notes for concert-goers.

Old, tired and a bit...

Liked: Quick and easy booking, check in and out. Good bar with a reasonable selectin of food and drink. Iron and board in the room and there's more then two UHT milks.
Disliked: Room smelling of smoke, old and tired on first impressions, dressing chair having a large stain (wee patch?), general condition of fitting and fixtures such as the Bates Motel bathroom. The fire door opposite my room, 209, was unlocked, when it clearly states keep closed. When I checked what it was it turns out to be the AC riser from below. That's pretty poor and would fail a fire risk assessment. I did ask if this was the contractors wing based on its condition when requesting a new room. I didn't get an answer or a new room.
