"The same thing I dont like everytime at this hotel is also the only thing I ever have to complain about @ The Gateway Inn... & thats when I have to leave. (Sad Face) I just love this place, the staff are so wonderful & are always happy to go the extra mile yet so modestly & kindly make you feel like nothing is a bother or too much to accomodate in their efforts to show that you're valued as a customer & feel welcomed like a family friend. The vibe is like a big safe warm hug. The rooms provided are generous in space, ameneties are varied & top notch & the customer service extended is of international standards. And No I wasn't promised anything to say all these great things about the Gateway, but Ive tried the rest & dont even have to guess you'll be impressed- by the Best Hotel in town!!"

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Newcastle

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Newcastle is during May, July, and August, when hotel prices are lower. To fully appreciate the city's historic landmarks and cultural offerings, it is advisable to stay for at least 2 to 3 days. This duration allows visitors to explore a variety of attractions, including local libraries, natural parks, and waterfront activities like swimming and canoeing, all of which offer great value for money. With the potential for prices to drop during these months, it’s an excellent opportunity for those travelling on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Newcastle, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on hotels close to your travel date. By enabling email alerts or push notifications, you could stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, ensuring you don't miss potential savings. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make informed choices. If your preferred hotels’ prices drop or rooms become available, you’re more likely to be the first to know, paving the way for a spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can vary due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, having some flexibility with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Newcastle hotel. For those in search of distinctive experiences, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer better value. When you make a booking with Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we may suggest more economical dates, which could increase your chances of securing a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre generally tend to be pricier, but thanks to Newcastle's outstanding public transport links, you may find a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well connected. For those eager to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
