Premier Inn Durham East
8.7 (49 reviews)

Premier Inn Durham East ★★★

📍 Broomside Park, Belmont

"Room and welcome excellent. What lets this place down is the food and service in the Beefeater next door. Dinner was very poorly cooked and presented, the service was slow and difficult to find a server. The cooked breakfast here is “made to order” and not a hot buffet as at most places, but the bacon had obviously been standing around for an extended period and the quality of ingredients very poor. Would not recommend eating here at all."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Durham
9.0 (45 reviews)

Radisson Blu Hotel, Durham ★★★★

📍 Frankland Ln, Durham

"High quality, clean, quick and friendly check-in. No drama. A very solid hotel in Durham. Just don't try and walk from there to the railway station with a heavy case - there's a massive hill!"

Delta Hotels by Marriott Durham Royal County
8.6 (161 reviews)

Delta Hotels by Marriott Durham Royal County ★★★★

📍 59 Old Elvet, Durham

"The toilet seat was dirty, and the facilities were quite old. The faucets had separate hot and cold water taps, which were a bit difficult to use. When someone walked past the door, the floor inside would creak loudly. Breakfast and the environment were decent."

📍 40 South Street, Durham. DH14QP, Durham

"Our 3 night stay at the 40 Winks was brilliant. The hotel was very clean and everything about it was lovely. Only a short walk to the City Centre. George couldn’t have been more helpful and is a lovely person. The breakfasts were amazing. If we return to Durham, it will definitely be the 40 Winks for us. Thanks George."

"Very cozy place with an excellent onsite restaurant/pub. We were able to take a stroll into town and come back easily whenever we wanted. Service is friendly and rooms are comfortable for a good night’s sleep. All in all, a restful stay in an unforgettable historic city."

My Way Guest House Hotels in Durham

My Way Guest House

"Lovely & quite place with amazing view of the Valley, the room were spotless and comfy bed, huge bathroom and it's pretty close to the restaurants and cathedral.We loved the kinda feel at home breakfast, mostly the welcoming management. Would definately come back."

The Shoes Hotels in Durham

The Shoes

"If you're picky, this probably isn't the place for you but if you're more the straightforward, no-nonsense type, it ticks all the boxes that matter. My room was clean and tidy, the bed comfortable and the breakfast kept me sated until late afternoon. If you have dietary requirements, though, you'll have to speak up. I was simply asked what time I'd like breakfast. There was no mention of options, vegan needs etc. I simply finished my toast and cereal and a glorious full English was put in front of me. My only dietary requirement is 'generous portions', so this approach worked perfectly for me but it won't suit everyone. The gentleman serving breakfast was a man of few words. Not rude or stand-offish, just reserved. If you loathe morning people and small talk in equal measure like I do, you'll love him. And as for the night before, don't worry about being away from the city centre. There's a Sainsburys and Vietnamese restaurant within easy walking distance, so you won't starve. The final plus point for me was the price of £43. £40-£50 cheaper than more central alternatives in a city that seems to think it's Kensington. I would definitely stay at The Shoes again."

Premier Inn Durham East ★★★
"Location- good, we booked to visit Durham and Beamish. Restaurant - good although 2 of our choices were unavailable. Room- clean and of a good standard however, we had booked a family room and one of the made up beds was so uncomfortable. The worst part was the quality of sleep. The room was incredibly hot. When I reported this I was told that people normally complain because it’s cold and was asked to check the radiator. It wasn’t on. During check out, I reported it again and was told it was because we had a family room. The temperature was 26.5 degrees. We were all awake at 2am, went to sit outside at 6am and thankfully due to 12 o’clock Check out, we managed to get our children to nap so not to ruin their day."

Delta Hotels by Marriott Durham Royal County ★★★★
"At 4 PM, during peak check-in time, I wasn't allowed priority for luggage retrieval. I was told to queue with everyone checking in, and the staff's attitude was extremely arrogant, making me feel discriminated against! My Uber was five minutes away, and I had a 4:40 PM train to London; waiting in line for luggage would definitely make me miss it! I waited for the front desk to finish with their current guest and then tried to explain my situation. However, the front desk disregarded the circumstances and insisted I queue up. I don't know if this lack of understanding is part of British culture; if so, I apologize (I hadn't considered 4 PM as peak check-in). If not, the hotel should apologize to me! In the end, even the British people queuing for check-in couldn't stand it. After consulting with a few people behind them, they let me cut in line. Retrieving my luggage took only about 30 seconds. Thankfully, I made my train, phew."

40 Winks Hospitality ★★★★
"We were in Durham to celebrate a wedding and spent four very enjoyable nights at the 40 Winks. It is well situated in a beautiful street. The hotel itself is charming and every room has a different design. I stayed in the Botanist which was very pretty with a wonderful view of the Cathedral. The manager, George couldn't have been more helpful and all the staff were very friendly and accommodating."
