I will be arriving with my dad in September as my classes at Newcastle Uni starts from the 21st. He plans to stay there for almost 12 nights to help me settle in, explore a bit and then fly back.

I was wondering which areas/hotels would be good for him, without paying extortionate prices while still being close to the Royal Victoria Infirmary as my uni accom is there.

How is the Cairn Hotel Newcastle Jesmond? Any other recommendations/personal experiences would help massively.

TIA.

Hi everyone. I’m an international student and will be arriving in the upcoming September session.

My main study site will be at Newcastle University business school. I had some accommodation options in mind from the available ones on the uni’s website.

Those are Park View, Park Terrace and Kensington Terrace.

I saw minimal reviews online and would appreciate personal experiences and insights, to understand the whole picture.

I was thinking about 3 aspects;

1. How’s the reception and internet performance in those 3 accommodations? (Saw that Park View is made with steel blocks and thus poor reception)

2. Do the rooms get really stuffy and hot during summer?

3. Will those 3 accommodations be too far away from the Business school? Are there any public transport (such as buses) close around which I could use? (If so then how much can the be the cost?)

Thanks.
