Cairn Hotel Newcastle Jesmond

Over the last 30yrs+and we have tried virtually all hotels in Jesmond, while visiting wife’s family/friends. Recently we (or just my wife) have been down in Newcastle virtually every week due to a sick relative. I booked, what I thought was a good deal, at the Cairns Hotel (which we have stayed at in the past). First of all the hotel Car Park is very limited in size and on arrival it was full, so we had to look around streets, local to hotel, for a space on our first night. These have a limited parking time so please be aware if using of when car needs to be moved in the morning! I had booked a Superior room and on arrival given keys to our room (209). This was smaller than I can remember, with one of the smallest bathrooms I have seen in a hotel of this level. I went down to reception and questioned level of room I had been given and was assured it was a Superior however they did have slightly bigger one's on the top floor, which she did offer me, but she commented they were fitted out the same. I opted to stay where we were to save hassle of having to get everything out of our room. Bedroom Comments: Bed was too soft and did not give much support for a good-nights sleep. Toilet positioned right against wall with shower cubicle right in front so impossible to sit on properly and only option was to sit sideways! Best part of this hotel is the restaurant (Sohe) and bar linked to hotel and these were both excellent and no issue with using these again, just not the hotel!

The family room was perfect for our stay. Staff were professional and friendly and one very small issue was sorted out immediately. Free car parking at the hotel was a bonus. We have stayed here several times before and will always use this hotel on our regular visits to Newcastle.

Excellent value for money hotel, great position for our family visit. Breakfast and SOHE restaurant both strongly recommended.

The staff were lovely, the room was fine for the last minute price but the room was not at all suitable for a family as the noise from the bar below was horrendous. Fine if you want a night out, but distressing when your children are crying and begging to go home because they can't get to sleep. Our stay was very stressful.

Stayed at The Cairn Hotel due to the regular hotel we use being fully booked. The Cairn Hotel is a small hotel in a very busy area. It is well run and very clean. The staff are very friendly and professional. We stayed for 20 nights due to visiting family members. As with most small hotels there is no lift so if you have heavy bags and your room is on the top floor, good luck. Again, as with most small hotels/Inns there is no air conditioning so you will suffer a few days, as we did when the odd heat wave hits the area. The only complaint that I have with this hotel is the lack of parking. I think I was only actually able to park there twice during the entire stay. Some of the guests would even block the parking spaces by not pulling their cars forward, this happened quite frequently. We ended up parking on the street, when we could or on the church grounds a short drive away. Lastly, Osbourne Rd is a very busy street with both pedestrian and vehicular traffic, as well as bustling night life, so don't expect quiet evenings.

Very enjoyable stay. I was in Newcastle for business, and took the opportunity to visit family living in the Jesmond area. The hotel was nicely done-up and the staff were helpful and friendly.
