Jesmond Hotel

Good location. Reasonable price. Tiny tiny ensuite. Shower did not work! Check it out on arrival, so you don't get caught out. Attentive staff, good breakfast included. One night stay only and it served it's purpose. Asked for a twin, beds were made up accordingly, but the room did not allow there to be space between them. Just as well we are good friends!

We were in London for a weekend away and my friend found the Jesmond as it was close to the City Centre - we booked for 2 nights and had the quad room (although the 4th bed was a camp bed more suited to a child than an adult (fortunately the friend using the bed was tiny so that was ok). The room was basic with not much room between the beds but was stiflingly hot, even in what was not a very hot day in September but was clean, if not a little tired - there was a hole we thought in the floor just outside the bathroom which was a little troubling. The bathroom however was tinier than tiny, so much so you could have sat on the toilet and showered your legs at the same time. However the shower worked, and the water was hot. Could have done with more towels - we did take some from laundry outside our room but on returning to the room to get supplies from town, they had been removed. There was a fan in the room, but even that struggled to keep the temperature down. We were out on the Friday evening and most of the day on Saturday and on returning both evenings to the hotel we found the central heating on - no wonder it was so warm in there. There was absolutely no need to have the heating on - I would have thought the owners would have conserved costs and turned it off. As a result, we had to leave our windows open all night and didn't get much sleep due to the constant noise that comes with staying in London. Breakfast was a little hit and miss - the fried eggs were overcooked, cheap sausages, scrambled were overcooked but as we had only paid just over £60 a night each in London for bed and breakfast, we got what we paid for. Tottenham Court Road is only a 5 minute walk away and we would have been better served having breakfast out to be honest. We had to pre-book our time for breakfast too as the dining room is very small and cannot accommodate all guests at the same time. I was aware that other guests were having issues and were struggling to get a member of staff to help them, but I think the hotel is family run and they may have actually been out. There is no actual check in or checkout procedure from what I could see but I did arrive after my friends and left before them. The stairs are a little troublesome and there is no lift so do be aware that if you are on one of the higher floors, you need to hump your luggage up and down yourself. This is certainly a "budget" hotel and you certainly can tell that when you stay. However for the price it is certainly value for money. Would I go back? Probably not, mainly due to the heat in the room and the disappointing breakfast, but it is a budget hotel and you get what you pay for.

Excellent location, great price, very friendly and clean. Bonus having breakfast included! 15 minutes walk to Euston and 15 minutes walk to Tottenham Court Road for Sister Act and other shows. Great not to have to get the tube. But we did for further afield attractions. We were 4 girls wanting to share a room with 4 beds and The Jesmond offered just that! We arrived at 10:30 and kept our bags safe until check in. But we had a busy day so didn’t arrive back until 6pm Then the following morning we checked out at 11am , but left our bags again until 6pm Staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. Special mentions to Dori and Bugda for looking after us. Some other notes : Wi-Fi was good Free breakfast was good. Nice English breakfast. Also cereals, yogurts on offer for free. No noise from the main road. Safe and clean area. Nice little garden at the back. Bathroom was more modern than the room furnishings. Only negatives (but you pay for what you get) would be that it could do with updating in terms of furnishings and carpets. But then it would be more expensive. The main thing was that is was clean and a great friendly service. We will come again for sure !

Excellent place to stay. Convenient to buses and the Tube, attractions, restaurants, even grocery stores. The British Museum is just down the street, Trafalgar Square a couple of blocks farther. The staff are very pleasant and helpful, the garden is beautifully landscaped, and the breakfast is delicious. A nice quiet hotel -- I've stayed there several times.

The welcoming staff, the comfortable room and peaceful environment made my stay ideal. I absolutely loved everything about the hotel. Dan and the other workers made me feel welcomed and were extremely professional. I had choice for breakfast time serving. Everything was delicious and impeccably served. There was everything you could want for your breakfast. The garden was a relaxing place where to read or relax surrounded by nature.

Room 8 rather small and bathroom tiny, but clean and well-appointed considering the space. Great to see hooks on back of door for coats, and hooks in bathroom for towels. Also 2 comfortable chairs, a table, plenty of coat hangers, shelf space, and tea/coffee making facilities. No AC but fan was provided. Breakfast was good and the gentleman at breakfast and on reception was very friendly, welcoming and thoughtful. We had a comfortable stay.
