Can anyone help me with regard to Hotels near the Aspers Casino in Newcastle please?
Walking distance would be great, not looking for anything special, just a bed!
Thank you.

I dunno how to say this without being cheeky so i'll just go ahead and spit it out: google is great for stuff like this

Im still trying to sort out travel arrangements but there are some reasonable hotels in that list

Doh, didn't think of that!
Thanks Matthew.
Appreciated.

Reasonable, maybe, rooms available, no!

jurysinn and waterfront had rooms.

hilton had rooms.

First two say no rooms for that saturday.
The other one is er expensive!

osborne   rd   jesmond


2 miles from city centre          dozens of decent b+b s from £30 pn.

It seems a lot of places won't take bookings for just one night at the weekend.

We've settled on the Premier Travel Inn at the airport... a few miles out but cheap and they're usually OK.

Same here, I've made a reservation at the airport.

Thank you very much for the help, much appreciated.

I'm sorted - a guest house in Fenham - looks to be a mile or two from Aspers £35 pn for a double room inc breccie - not too bad.

you been to Fenham before?!

by the way it isn't that bad... the new Jesmond  ::)

can second that idea - I once stayed at the osborne hotel - about 40 quid for a single en-suite room. Late bar, more than decent.

Just got a room..... Boy are they hard to get......Either really exspensive for near ones.. then the closer ones will only take a booking for 2 nights.....

Got a BB 4 miles away £132 for 2 nights between 2 of us... 66 quid each... I am happy with that...

Best of luck with the rooms!

in  your  DREAMS   maybe.

factually, was actually the  OLD   jesmond, being a shorter walk/carriage ride to the tyne where all the heavy industry  was.
fenham is ok,but definately not ideal for walking around with ur poker stash.deffo use   BLACK cabs.

I found this link to a list of hotels on the University website...

http://northumbria.ac.uk/static/5007/hotelguesthouselist0607.pdf

It lists several in the already recomended Osborne Rd, Jesmond area.

The Thistle Hotel is opposite Newcastle Station and is only 5 minutes walk from Aspers.

Rooms £50 a night (single). Enjoy.

....and there are few greater pleasures in life than a late night walk in Newcastle. Makes an old - (ish) man feel young again.

Rooms still available at the Thistle, just booked at £50-00 ( brekky extra)

I too have just booked my room at  the thistle.........But they rushed me 70 notes,

For a wheelchair friendly room, so I asked to include brekky, they said thats an extra 10,
So  as shakespere said "He complainith most", to which they said, "OH that rate includes brekky"
See you alll there.

i checked the thistles website and they said the hotel wasnt wheel chair friendly

I'm booked in at the thistle aswell.  Driving up on the Friday night so that I am well rested for the extra levels on the Saturday (assuming I last that long).

Looking forward to a great wekkend, see you all there.

My mate checked the thistle and they quoted him 397 quid!!!! for one night!!! How are you lot getting it for 50??

Im assuming all the fifty quid rooms are gone.

I think you might be right ;iagree; We've got a hotel now about 3 miles away for 80 quid. Sorted

I just booked The Thistle £55 per night (exc. brekkie) for a deluxe single, arriving Friday evening.

Thistle telephone no. 0191 2322471

brendan got the only wheelchair room in the thistle so i am in the royal station hotel

Me and TomTom booked in at the Tulip Hotel, dont know where it is, how far from anywhere, and how nice, but its a room for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday Night at a cost of £112 each. Bargain.

It's a beaitifully clean & modern place, No Smoking throughout as I recall, or maybe just smoking on the 7th Floor. Nice place..

That's good to hear, Tikay, thanks.

Myself and Wayne also booked into there the weekend. Apparently it's about 3 to 4 miles from Aspers, so a short taxi ride. :)up

2.9 miles...

Correct. Share a Taxi with Rooky & get him to pay, that's what I'd do.

For those of you that stay overnight in Newcastle, & don't need to go to Church on the Sunday morning, I can highly recommend the walk along the Canal Towpath. They have paved it beautifully, youi go under 6 or 7 awesome bridges, there are pubs with terraced bars, and they have one of those swingy bridge things - Millenium Bridge, I think- which sort of rotates. Great fun, and a lovely walk, truly.

Lol, tikay... Tom is actually going to be driving us up so we may not get a taxi on the saturday morning (depends on how hungover we are after going out on the friday night!!)

Me and a few other fish are in the Carin hotel newcastle.

£42 a night inc brekkie .. 2 miles away.
