Top Durham Hotel Reviews

Malmaison Newcastle

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here on a business trip. Excellent place to stay. Great service and the food was very nice and affordable. Very nice room and great location! Parking was easy enough too (sadly an extra charge though) The only thing I would personally say is the air con wasn’t amazing. I noticed I started coughing and once I realised it was potentially the air con I turned it off and stopped. Overall 9/10 experience would definitely recommend!"

Honest Lawyer Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good and reasonably priced Hotel with Great Food The check in was a quick and easy process. The room was a good size with a decent sized table to use my laptop on, good amount of power points, and with the decent speed free internet made it a very useful stop over. The shower and bathroom were good, but let down a bit by tatty worn painting work, along with the extractor fan not being hoovered out and quite dusty. The window opening and fascia above were tatty and quite dirty. Unfortunately the bed was squeaky when you moved, and wasn’t too comfortable. The food in the bar was very good, good portions, tasty and reasonably priced. The staff in the pub were friendly and efficient, and the service was quick, including bringing the food out to us. The room was quiet and had good views of woodland at the back, and was not affected by any light from the front of the Hotel car park. The parking right outside the rooms were great, peace of mind the car was visible and good lighting in the car park, making it a reassuring feeling parking the car. At the price point it was a reasonably priced stop over."

"The water output in thw shower is not as strong as we would like it to be. The sink is clogged with hair from previous guests. We stayed for 2 nights and they did not refill our rooms with water. They took our small towels on the first day of cleaning but did not replace it with new ones."
