Find me somewhere to stay in Newcastle/Gateshead on 28th February please

[JTG]

Cheap and clean preferably

 

[neonwilderness]

Any area in specific?

 

[JTG]

Nah - going to football (Gateshead, not the other place!) and leaving Sunday morning so anywhere centralish

 

[neonwilderness]

Looks like quite a few places are already fully booked. Laterooms is giving some for £70-80ish, but none are very central. The cheapest central one I can see is the Royal Station hotel, but that's £130

A mate has somehow dug up a room in Benwell for £32 Looks OK, shared bathroom and that but I only want one night

 

[JTG]

Next question: anyone fancy booze in Newcastle on Feb 28th?

 

[neonwilderness]

Benwell is a bit of a hike

Maybe try these instead:

[Fez909]

I'm in Newcastle that day, n'all.

Is there some sort of Geordie-pull?!
