Sunderland Hotels and Accommodation

(Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England, UK)

The best hotels of Sunderland generally make the very most of their surroundings, offering accommodation with either sea views or good connections to the city centre. Lodging rates in Sunderland tend to be at their most expensive during the summer months, and again at Christmas time, when room occupancy levels are highest and hotels enjoy their busiest periods.

Seafront accommodation comes in the form of guest houses, hotels and B&Bs (bed and breakfast) in the Roker area, lining roads such as the Roker Terrace, which runs parallel to the Marine Walk and is intersected by St. George's Terrace. Also in the Sunderland area and with easy access to the coastline are the hotels in Seaburn, with the most desirable overlooking the sandy beaches, some 5 km / 3 miles to the north of the city centre.

Where to Stay

Those looking to stay in Roker will be presented with a wide range of choices. The most popular accommodation options in Roker include the Abbey and Areldee Guest House, the Balmoral, the Belmont, the Best Western and the Chaise Guest House, amongst others.

In Seaburn, the Marriott Sunderland on Queen's Parade Hotel is always a safe bet and comes with more than 80 guest rooms, including three luxury suites with a glazed rotunda and superb seafront panoramas. Located on Sea Lane in Seaburn, look out for the Lemonfield Hotel and the Mayfield Guest House.

Of course, many visitors to Sunderland also want to stay in the city centre itself. Accommodation here is in its greatest numbers on Western Hill (close to the City Campus of the university), Tunstall Road and on Low Row, which is where the Sunderland Travelodge City Centre resides. Self-catering apartments in the city are to be found on Borough Road, John Street, Toward Road and Topcliff.
