The Hideaway at Monk St

Couples and small families will find The Hideaway at Monk St works well as a city-centre base. The apartment occupies the whole first floor of a building within a private courtyard, keeping things quiet despite the location. One bedroom has a kingsize bed, the other a double, and there's a shower room with heated towel rail. The living and dining room opens onto a separate kitchen fitted with a full range of appliances—oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine—so you can cook proper meals rather than relying on takeaways.

Newcastle's Chinatown surrounds the property. Colourful archways, Asian supermarkets and restaurants line the streets, all within walking distance. St James' Park, the city's theatres and independent cafés are equally close. Heating and hot water are included, along with wifi and bed linen. The flat is non-smoking. Check in is after 15:00 and checkout before 10:00.
