Newcastle upon Tyne is a city in the northeast of England, just over 3 hours by train from London and under 2 hours by train from Edinburgh. Its main train station is Newcastle Central Station, which serves trains from all over the United Kingdom as well as those in the Tyne and Wear Metro system. It’s a short walk to the River Tyne and the famous Tyne Bridge, roughly 7 minutes’ walk to Newcastle Castle, and is even less than 15 minutes’ away from St. James Park, home stadium of Newcastle United Football Club, all of which makes the hotels around the train station a great base for exploring the city.

There are eleven accommodations with great reviews and ratings within 450 meters (around 7 minutes’ walk) of the Newcastle central train station. The top 3 picks are described in more detail below and all 11 are summarized in the table that follows. 

To ensure quality, all the hotels shortlisted below needed to have a rating of at least 8/10 at Booking.com — where only verified guests can rate and review hotels — and at least 4/5 in TripAdvisor and Google Reviews. (This is why the Royal Station Hotel, which is only rated 7.7 at Booking.com, and the County Hotel Newcastle, which is only rated 3.5/5 at TripAdvisor, are not included in our shortlist.)

These top three are chosen based on location, value for money, proximity to other places of interest, and ratings from previous guests.

1. Hampton by Hilton Newcastle

For sheer convenience, nothing can beat Hampton by Hilton Newcastle, which is literally right across Newcastle Station. The rooms are clean, the breakfast good, there’s a Wetherspoons around the corner, and the price is reasonable. They have double/twin rooms and you can book connecting rooms if you’re a family of 4.

2. Albatross Hostel

For those who want accommodations that are cheap but good, Albatross Hostel is the place to go.

There are 4-, 6-, 8-, and 10-bed dormitory rooms, including a 6-bed female-only dorm room. There’s also a private twin room for those who want the conveniences of a hostel without necessarily sacrificing their privacy. Children are allowed in (which isn’t always the case with hostels, so always check) and they offer free luggage storage for guests.
