Farnley Tower Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Everything what more can we say 😊😊"

Hotel Indigo Durham by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location in an interesting historical property. Excellent restaurant."

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"

40 Winks

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay in this beautiful boutique hotel. We booked the room overlooking the Cathedral which was stunning. The room was really large and immaculately designed. The gentleman who checked us in was so friendly and helpful. The walk was no more than 10 minutes to the centre. We were so impressed with this hotel and Durham we would definitely come back."

The Kingslodge Inn - The Inn Collection Group

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, ideally located for Durham centre & train station. Staff were helpful & welcoming. Room has been recently refurbished & everything was nice, clean & tidy. We ate in the hotel one night - it was nice but could have been a bit hotter. We went to Veera’s (Indian) the following night which was lovely & a 10 min walk away. Parked at hotel easily & breakfast included- very nice."

St Chads College

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay at a reasonable price for events in Durham and Newcastle. A short walk to the cathedral, castle and city centre. Student rooms are basic but clean."

52 Old Elvet

8/10 Good

"Good location within walking distance to the shops etc Parking at the rear Excellent communication from the host Flat very clean"

Travelodge Durham

8/10 Good

"Overall: Very nicely clean! Lovely room, bathroom & view. A bit of a hike to get to the actual room itself, but a pleasant one. Facilities: USB ports worked well for charging. No microwave/fridge available in the room I chose, although I should've inquired about this I suppose. Was able to make instant oatmeal for breakfast using the water kettle & mugs provided. Nice tea/coffee options. Didn't try the "grab-and-go" breakfast—costs extra and doesn't seem super nutritious. Careful: Wifi also costs extra after the first 30 mins you use it per 24-hour period. This was frustrating. But it also wasn't very expensive to buy access (something like £3.50 extra per 24 hours). Friendly staff, but no one was at the reception desk initially. Make sure you have cell service if you need to call them—I didn't, but got lucky since some passersby let me use their phone to call reception. Not sure if pet-friendly. Don't use a car to visit Durham. Take the train!"

Toast Lettings | Apartment 4 The Grove minutes walk from Durham City

8/10 Good

"Great quiet location and reasonable walk to the city centre. Great access down to the river and woodland walks around the area of the flat. There is a Sainsbury's local a short walk away. The flat is nestled in the trees and we heard then saw two owls early one morning, a lovely bonus.The flat is clean, warm and cosy, it would be helpful to have a few extra things like proper oven gloves a little more crockery (only 4 of each). Two of the dining chairs had very wobbly legs so we didn't sit on them. Also clarification of the parking in the notes/instructions as it said park at the top but there was building work and not really room for our car along with another visitor's car without someone being blocked in. It was ok to park at the bottom of the flats, it would just be helpful to know on arrival. Great stay though and would come again, thank you."
