About Jesmond Dene Hotel
The Jesmond Dene Hotel is a friendly, family-run hotel in a handsome Georgian townhouse on Argyle Street, just off the Euston Road. It offers simple, clean accommodation at prices that are hard to beat in central London. The hotel has been welcoming guests for decades and has a loyal following among visitors who prefer character and value over corporate polish.
Rooms are straightforward — don't expect boutique styling — but they're well-maintained, with free Wi-Fi and tea-and-coffee-making facilities. The real draw is the location: King's Cross and Euston stations are within a ten-minute walk (handy for arrivals from the north), and the West End is easily reached via the Northern or Piccadilly lines from nearby tube stations. Bloomsbury's quiet garden squares, the British Library and a wealth of independent restaurants are all on the doorstep.

“Nothing fancy but clean, comfortable and incredibly well-priced for London. The owner is lovely and full of tips on where to eat and what to see. We got the Tube to Leicester Square in about 15 minutes for our show. Exactly what we needed.”

“Basic but perfectly adequate. The room was small and the décor is a bit dated, but the bed was comfortable and the shower was hot. For the price, in this location, you really can't complain. We spent the savings on better theatre seats.”

“We've stayed three times now and always come back. It's honest, good-value accommodation run by people who clearly care. Bloomsbury is a lovely area and the British Museum is a short walk away. Great base for a London trip.”
Frequently asked questions
Is breakfast included?
A simple continental breakfast is included in most room rates. It's basic — toast, cereal, coffee and juice — but it's a nice bonus at this price point.
Are rooms en-suite?
Most rooms have en-suite facilities, but some of the cheapest rooms share a bathroom. Check carefully when booking if this matters to you.
Is there a lift?
No, the hotel is in a Georgian townhouse and does not have a lift. If you have mobility requirements, request a ground-floor room when booking.
How do I get to the West End?
The easiest route is the Piccadilly line from King's Cross St Pancras to Leicester Square — it's direct and takes about 10 minutes. Alternatively, it's a 25-minute walk through Bloomsbury, which is pleasant on a nice day.
