Whites Hotel

Good shower with consistent temperature. Bed was comfortable. Sockets by bed. Close to shops, restaurants etc.

The main problem was the noise. On one of the three nights I stayed, the pub/club was very busy downstairs and very loud, even though my room was on the second floor. Also there was continual humming noise in room - sounded like boiler or generator or something. If it hadn’t been for the noise I would have scored this hotel more highly.

The price is really good and the place is hand for travelling around the city.

The breakfast is not standard.

The hotel is very well located. You can walk from there to all Jesmond's main attractions, the Waterfalls, the Old Mill, Pets' Corner and St Mary's Chapel and the park. There is a great walking area around, which can be easily accessed on foot from the hotel. You can also walk easily from there to the city centre or take metro from West Jesmond Station. Jesmond is a really nice area, leafy and safe with lots of nice cafes, restaurants and shops.

The main thing is the bar. The hotel is connected to the bar, which is very popular with the students and gets crowded and busy almost all week round. But it shuts at 11 pm so after that the hotel is peaceful until late afternoon the following day.

Ideal location

Nothing

It was central to bars and restaurants - good value for money.

Was quite noisy up until about midnight - it’s on a busy road so certain amount of noise is to be expected. It’s a basic breakfast of toast cereal and pastries - we just thought it would be a usual b&b but it was ok. You can pay extra for hot breakfast- on the booking it just said B&B.
