Jesmond Dene

We've stayed at the Jesmond Dene before and been happy with it, but on this occasion we were told we had been given an 'up-graded' room - 'up' being, as it turned out, the operative word! We were actually housed, in an admittedly perfectly acceptable en-suite room, on the very top (third floor) of the nearby Princess Hotel, which appears to have some association with the Jesmond Dene. However, the Princess Hotel has no breakfast room at all, so we had to go back to the Jesmond Dene for breakfast, where on the first morning we had to wait for quite some time before a table became available. Because we had appointments to attend, we were, in fact, on the very point of leaving to use the Costa cafe over the road when a table was found for us. The actual breakfast is reasonably good, and the man in charge of service there is charming, but in several ways this stay was less convenient than we had hoped. There is a point beyond which 'sweating the asset' starts to disadvantage the customer, so we shall probably look elsewhere on our next visit to London.

Very cozy hotel with a Bed and Breakfast feel. Breakfast was wonderful.

The staff were very helpful and the apartment was clean, modern and comfortable and in a great location. Tear value for money.

Stayed here before. Right by kings cross with easy access to the whole city. Nice classic old English building and a good place to come back to relax after a long day. Simple rooms not a lot of space but that’s how it goes for older buildings. Staff is always nice. The breakfast was a classic English breakfast - eggs. Ham. Beans. Toast and tea. Will continue to stay here.

Room was incredibly small and stuffy.. It was very clean however. The neighborhood is chaotic with tons of students and travellers. However our room was quiet with exception of being located next to the back entrance where late nighters entered at early hours.
