Yes, book it if you want a well-reviewed, central base in Newcastle at a fair mid-range price. If a cooked breakfast is important, plan to eat out, as guests say the buffet has no hot options.

Motel One Newcastle is a three-star hotel aimed at travellers who want a central, simple stay. Family rooms, free Wi-Fi, a terrace and a 24-hour front desk are listed, and pets appear among its tags, so check the policy if you bring a dog.
Skip it if a hot breakfast or a full set of facilities matters to you. Guests say the continental buffet is fresh with good variety but lacks cooked options. A gym, pool or spa are not listed in our data.
Location and getting around
The address is 15-25 High Bridge, in Newcastle city centre. Guests score the location 9.6 out of 10 and mention the train station, shops, bars and restaurants nearby.
Distances to the main sights are short. Newcastle Cathedral is about 0.2 km, roughly 3 minutes on foot. St James' Park is 0.7 km, about 9 minutes, and the Gateshead Millennium Bridge is 0.9 km, around 11 minutes. These are straight-line estimates, but everything here is a comfortable walk.
What guests say
More than 10,000 guests have reviewed it, 10,308 in total, with an average of 8.6 out of 10. The central location leads the praise. Staff come next, described as friendly, professional and quick with a warm welcome.
Breakfast is the main complaint. The continental buffet is fresh, guests say, but there are no hot cooked dishes. Vegetarian and vegan options are listed, which helps some diets.
Price and how it compares with our other Newcastle picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 was €107.25 per night for 2 adults. That is about 4% below the €111.33 median of the hotels we sampled. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Four Points Flex by Sheraton Newcastle, our Budget pick, was €69.36 per night with a score of 8.5. Dakota Newcastle, the Luxury pick, scored 9.5 at €223.94. Motel One costs about €38 more than the budget option for a small score gain and its very central address. If saving money is the priority, the budget pick scores almost as well.
