Hostels

Staying in a hostel or a youth hostel is a great way to stay in the city centre of Newcastle upon Tyne or Gateshead if you’re on a tight budget.

Forget the image you might have of a hostel in NewcastleGateshead being twenty people crushed in a room, where cheap and cheerful is putting it mildly. Today’s modern hostel has rooms to suit everybody, from private single rooms, to en suite double rooms to dorms that sleep up to 14 people. They have great facilities too.

The Euro Hostel in Newcastle’s city centre includes a kitchen, a laundry room, free wi-fi and even its own bar! Over at the Albatross “Backpacker’s In!”, they boast pool tables, a kitchen, free TV and Wi-FI and DVD Hire.

Newcastle and Gateshead have loads to offer the traveller on a budget so, if you’re looking for somewhere cheaper to stay, why not consider one of the city’s fantastic hostels?
