We just walked as on the map the hotel looked very close to the station. In reality it is literally only a 10 minute walk from the station to the door of the hotel.

The location was absolutely fanastic and it is located just off the centre for life so is directly in the centre of the famous Geordie nightlife.
One thing is that the hotel is located in a complex where you have to go through to a courtyard to get to the hotel. It isn't a problem and not difficult to find but if you aren't aware of this fact you might wander for a little while looking for the hotel.
If you are coming by car then you should know the hotel doesn't have it's own car park but there is a large pay car park right next to it.

The outside of the hotel gives a great first impression and the building is large and modern. The reception and communial areas of the hotel are nice and open planned and look modern and airy.
Checking in was a bit of a disaster as they weren't ready for us and said our room wouldn't be ready for another hour or so even though we were checking in at 4 in the afternoon. This wasn't a big problem for us and they did store our bags for us whilst we went into town.
When we returned the room was ready and we got our keys quickly and they also apologised for not having the room ready when we first arrived.

We had ordered a triple room which was consisted of a double bed and a single bed so 2 of my friends had to share. Again this wasn't a problem for us personally but it might have been for some and it would have been nice to know in advance that the room didn't have three seperate beds.
The decor was very bland and non offensive, it had absolutely no character but was spotlessly clean and had everything we expected in a budget hotel room.
The bed's were actually better than we had expected and were very comfortable but like most hotels in this price range there was only one pillow per person which is just not enough.

As for extras they were lacking but there was a TV, some seats and tea and coffee making facilities which is all we really needed and as we had only paid £70 for the room we were more than happy with it.
The bathroom didn't have a bath but the shower was new looking and the water pressure was fantastic and very important for the girls in our group the lighting was good for doing hair etc. There was plenty of towels and like the bedroom the bathroom was spotless.

The bad things about the hotel were that it isn't a place for families on the weekend. The hotel employ security and whilst this keeps most of the party peoples behaviour in check the party continues into the hallways and the hotel is very noisy with drunk people running about until early morning.

I would definately stay at the jurys inn again as it was great value for such centrally located rooms. However I wouldn't consider it if I was wanting a peaceful night as I know now I wouldn't get one. ]]> http://www.trivago.co.uk/newcastle-upon-tyne-38773/hotel/jurys-inn-newcastle-46471/picture-i151521 Wed, 25 Jul 2007 14:57:00 +0200 ]]>
