Been there, done that... getting into town on the metro is no probs and cheap enough. If I recall correctly, it was close to £15 in a taxi to get back. Expect long queues for taxis as the pubs/clubs are closing and expect it to be a real challenge to find one once that rush has died down.

I wouldn"t stay there again.

For those on a tighter budget, there are numerous b&b"s/guest houses/small hotels in the Jesmond area, around Osborne Rd.

A couple of miles from there to Aspers.
