OYO The Rowers Hotel

Affordable Comfort Close to the Gateshead Music Scene

OYO The Rowers Hotel is a no-frills, budget-friendly spot in Gateshead, perfect for concert-goers seeking a simple and quiet place to crash after a night out. With its riverside location just outside the city center, it offers a peaceful retreat that’s still within easy reach of Newcastle and Gateshead’s live music venues.

Why Concert-goers love it

While not directly in the hustle of the city, this hotel is a short taxi or public transport ride from major venues like the Utilita Arena and Sage Gateshead. Its laid-back location means you can count on a quiet night’s sleep after the show. Flexible check-in and check-out times help accommodate late-night plans, and the staff is known for being friendly and accommodating.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a low-cost base
• Solo travelers needing a quiet crash pad after a gig
• Couples on a music-filled weekend getaway
• Fans who want to escape the post-concert noise
• Budget-conscious music lovers prioritizing value and rest

Food and Drink Options

The hotel doesn’t offer on-site dining, but there are several local pubs and takeaway spots within walking distance. You’ll find late-night food options nearby, and breakfast is available for guests looking to recharge the next morning.

Nightlife Options

If you’re still buzzing after the show, head into Newcastle just across the river—only a quick ride away—for a range of bars, clubs, and live music venues. Prefer to keep it mellow? Local neighborhood pubs offer a more laid-back end to your evening.

What People Say

Guests consistently mention the friendly staff, free parking, and clean, comfortable rooms as highlights. Many reviews also note that it’s great value for money, especially for those just needing a solid place to sleep after a night out.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury stay—some rooms could use updating, and there’s no elevator, which may be a factor for those with mobility concerns. But if you’re here for the music and not the minibar, it more than does the job.

The Bottom Line

If you want a clean, quiet, budget-friendly place to rest your head after the show, OYO The Rowers Hotel delivers exactly what you need—without breaking the bank.
