Kenilworth Hotel

Great rooms clean and tidy.Close to city centre

Bit of a rabbit Warren but worth it to get to the rooms. Lovely big high ceiling rooms functional ensuite lovely and clean considering a bar downstairs no noise

We booked a two night stay mid week. The hotel location was good for the city with bus stops almost outside the building. Friendly greeting on arrival everything explained other than the location of our room.It was on the top floor. We did so, up FIVE flights of stairs! The hotel was clean and fresh. New carpets throughoutOur room was small but adequate and very clean. Bathroom with walk in shower was also clean.Several good restaurants within easy walking distance.I'd definitely go back there but ask for a room lower down.

I came here with my 5 year old daughter, for a 1 night trip in Newcastle before she went back to school. I arrived early and the manager was very friendly, she upgraded our room at no extra cost to a double bed with a single, as it was quieter room for the kid. The hotel also let us park in the car park for the following day after checkout so we could get the metro into the city before coming back at 5pm. The room was spotless and really nicely furnished. Bathroom was very nice and clean, lovely fresh carpets throughout hotel and very friendly staff. If we need a place in Newcastle we will definitely be back.

I was unfortunately very disappointed with my stay at the Kenilworth.To its credit, the staff were all very friendly, and the rooms were reasonably clean (it looked like behind the bed had been missed when hoovering and there was a slight stain on the pillowcase, but nothing major).Unfortunately, our stay was ruined by noisy guests. I understand that the hotel cannot be held solely accountable for the behaviour of its guests, and that being in Osborne Road in Newcastle, you're not at all unlikely to encounter some rowdy residents. That said, I would have expected the hotel staff to do literally anything to help the situation. The rooms are clearly not at all soundproof, the door to the hotel slams shut with the might of god, and when a group of rowdy lads came into the hotel shouting up and down the stairs and cheering at 3AM, nothing was done. In fact, the only reason that the noisy gents quietened down was because I spoke to them and ask them to either leave or go to sleep. They decided that leaving was the appropriate option, and it sounded like the majority weren't even guests of the hotel, just dropping their friend off and decided to stick around for a bit. After this, other guests repeatedly came and went between 3 and 6AM, which typically wouldn't be a problem were it not for the incredibly loud slam of the front door mentioned earlier.Unsurprisingly, we slept in a bit the next morning to make up for the fact that we had barely slept the night before. Once we were up and ready, we decided to check out of our room a day early, and I requested a refund for the night we wouldn't be staying. We were told that as we had missed the usual checkout time (due to trying to make up sleep), and because the cleaner had gone home for the day, the room could not be sold and we would not be granted a refund. They also asked if I had come to speak to the night porter. At 3 AM. When I would have to exit the hotel to be able to get to the reception. The fact that the responsibility was attempted to be shifted onto me to notify the night porter of noisy guests seemed laughable. When pressed on the matter, the person behind the reception stated that they don't give refunds for noise complaints, that we wouldn't find any hotel near the city centre that did, and if the Kenilworth did give refunds for these issues, they'd go bankrupt". This to me highlights a larger problem. If noise complaints are of such high frequency that the hotel would go bankrupt if guests were given their refunds

The rooms are very good: clean, nice beds, small bathroom. The location is not so pretty, but if you walk a bit you can reach some nice green places.

The Kenilworth Hotel is a great value little hotel ideally positioned for visiting family and friends in and around Jesmond.We needed a convenient hotel for an overnight stay to help our daughter move out of her student accomodation and I happenend upon The Kenilworth Hotel at £56 (2022 prices) for a single night with parking. The reviews were good and we were only staying a single night so I took the chance. I'm glad I did.We received a courtesy call on our way to the hotel to confirm our arrival and that there was a parking space available. Reception was manned by a friendly chap who checked us in efficiently and showed us to our room which was a large en-suite family room at the top of the house.The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the en-suite contained a double sized shower with proper screen, (no annoying shower curtain!), and plenty of towels and shower gel and there was a kettle with mugs containing tea bags, coffee sachets, milk and biscuits.Although this is not a 5 star hotel, it gets a 5 star review here for exceeding expectations, good value and for the friendliness of all the people who we came into contact with. I'd be happy to stay here again and recommend The Kenilworth Hotel to anyone who needs a place to stay in Jesmond.The only caveat is that it is in the same building as a lively pub. However, this caused us no issues whatsoever during our stay despite it being a Student Night on our visit and everything was quiet well before midnight.

Very pleasant overnight stay in a good location not from the city centre. There's limited parking to the rear whet reception is , though it may well be sufficient. All the hotel staff we met were friendly and accommodating. The room was spacious and clean. (Shouldn't they always be?Of course but I have spent many nights on the road for work to know that this isn't always the case, but I digress ) No bath, but to be fair, not really that important. Keys provided for after hours There's a public bar downstairs, very reasonably priced, though the clientele is substantialy younger than the author of this review!

Found hotel quite easily very friendly chap on reception room lovely clean plenty of space would come again and recommend

Get what you pay for. Very clean. Stairs a challenge. Floor slopped a lot so you felt drunk in night untill you got used to it. Loads of towels and hot water. Didnt use bar or go out. Just stayed one nigjt visiting sick relative so didnr recieve service or explore area. Generally good.
