Top Durham Hotel Reviews

Super 8 by Wyndham Durham

10/10 Excellent

"Impressed with this little property. Convenient and clean, would stay again"

Delta Hotels Durham Royal County

8/10 Good

"Very old hotel and a little shabby in parts but still clean. Breakfast was good, hot and well cooked. Room was good size, we had family room with 2 doubles and it was clean, bathroom was big but why only 1 hook so nowhere to hang clothes etc What makes this hotel is the staff, friendly, helpful and professional. A little pricey for what we had but apparently Durham is expensive and the location is excellent. We would return"

"The customer service from all hotel staff was fantastic! Everyone was so friendly, polite, and extremely helpful. Deluxe twin room was large and spacious, however the bathroom was looking tired and in need of a refresh. Brilliant location in the city centre - everywhere was in walking distance. Would definitely stay there again."
