We stayed at Kensington House over Xmas and New Year for approx 1 month. The standard of accommodation was very high and the staff were very helpful. Great location, walking distance from the city centre and plenty of parking. Highly recommended for longer than average stays. Mr & Mrs Stephens More

Apartments were lovely and clean. Plenty of parking and close to local Metro station, Jesmond etc. Only disappointment was staff's attitude who showed us round upon arrival...kept drilling home that damages must be paid for etc....like we were about to trash the place!!?! The complimentary shampoos etc were poor, make sure you take your own! Also, upon arrival we were... More

We stayed in Newcastle for just one night between Christmas and New Year and found the apartments really good value for money and much better than hotels in the same area. We also had the added bonus of more flexibility, given the well equipped kichen, two bedrooms and shared bathroom. We also enjoyed free parking and a location close to... More

I booked the Kensington House for a weekend visit to Newcastle. It's in a great location for various bars and restaurants in Jesmond and just a short taxi ride into the city centre. We booked the single room apartment but were upgraded! The apartment is HUGE! It had a really comfortable lounge area with fully stocked kitchen - most useful... More

After waiting outside in the cold for over an hour, I was... More

Kensington house was a great find! We arrived at the apartments a few hours before check-in and intended to just leave the car and go for a wander then check-in later, but the ladies on reception were very friendly and allowed us to check-in there and then which was great! We never bothered using the metro and just got taxi's... More

Have just returned from another short break in one of our favourite places to visit - Newcastle! Why you would need to stay in an hotel, when you can have the flexibility and comfort of these apartments, is beyond me. They are quiet, comfortable and in a great location. Within walking distance of the city centre, or two minutes from... More
