Where to stay in Newcastle?

£50? You'll be lucky pal. Best bet is the Premier Inn right in the centre. Book in advance and its £29 a night. Otherwise my sofa is free for £25 a night

Heres a link to the official visit newcastle webpage. http://www.visitnewcastlegateshead.com/ good luck....

Give you £15 a night for the sofa. That's honest to God how desperate I am.

Haha. Good one.

Its a backpackers hostel. I dont know if you'd have to lie and say you're a backpacker but its dirt cheap.

Just spotted this on the last site you linked me to. Seems like a pretty good bet, actually. Know anything about the place, or am I on my own?

I'll have a pretty hefty backpack on me anyway, so it'd only be a little white lie!

Thanks for the help mate, you're a lifesaver. I'll give the Albatross a more thorough checking out, and if they don't meet my standards, I'll be back onto you about that couch.

Trust, Josef Fritzl's cellar would be like the Ritz compared to my front room ha.

Good luck.

Well, having contacted the Albatross it seems that the policy of most hostels (and hotels!) in the area is not to admit anyone under the age of 18. Being an agonising 19 days short of this, it seems I'm royally screwed, for want of a better term!

Bridge it is!

Is this 50 quid for two nights; if so you'll be really lucky to get anything. Otherwise try the usual premier inns, travel inns etc to see if any of them are cheaper. And look at the Grainger Hotel and Bentley's, cause they tend to be cheaper. Or try a hostel.
