Hotels in Newcastle

Located in the Northumberland in the North East of England, Newcastle city is the perfect place to experience what it was like in England in the medieval age. The city acquired its full name, Newcastle upon Tyne, from the castle built in this area by Robert the second, the son of William the conqueror in 1080. There are many streets that still maintain the same structure that they had in the medieval times. These narrow streets that can only be accessed on foot will take visitors back to the age of knights and kings.  

The city owes its initial growth to the wool industry and later the coal mining industry. The city was also well known in the 16^th century for ship building. Today Newcastle is well known for its local beer, Newcastle ale, its vibrant night life and soccer team, Newcastle United.  

When booking hotels in Newcastle, consider the distance of the hotel from the city centre and the Newcastle central station, the cost of the hotel and the services offered.
