You would easily walk to St james park from town/city centre. you might even see the stadium from city centre. I walked up to stadium before and pretty short walk.
Newcastle is actually quiet small and the map makes it look bigger than it is.
Thanks Papervalue,I have walked to St James from Jurys which was ok.I have since read a few ,not so kind,reviews of the Hotel.The price was too good to be true.Since i am travelling from Ireland i might check out the Airport hotels,Might be better for just a one night stay.
Thanks again.
I go over alot and stay in the Staybridge Suites in Newcastle or else in Jury's. Alternatively I have stayed in the Central Hotel once. Basic, but nice.
