10/10 Excellent

"Easy checking. Staff were really helpful. Room was clean. Would stay again."

Delta Hotels Durham Royal County

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in a family room which was very spacious and comfortable with a separate sitting area. Really quiet and great location in the city. Did not eat or drink in hotel but the bar and restaurant looked very welcoming. Overall a great place to stay."

Ramside Hall Hotel, Golf and Spa

8/10 Good

"Visited on a weekend and there were so many different functions going on that it was too busy and noisy. Really not worth the money. Also room was cold and musty and there was mould on the back of curtains"

Hotel Indigo Durham by IHG

8/10 Good

"Some of the furniture in the room required repair, lighting was dim as no main light. Some light fittings were loose. The windows did not secure and we were on the lower ground floor, Aircon was pointed at the pillows on the bed which has your face and neck cold."

Farnley Tower Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"It’s worth just staying there for the warmth and inviting personality of Anna who makes sure everything you need is taken care of. Lovely big rooms and very comfortable bed. Breakfast was also very good."

Premier Inn Durham City Centre - Walkergate

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and well appointed for a one nights stay. We paid for breakfast at the hotel the next morning and it was convenient. Only issue at breakfast was coffee machine was being cleaned and took about 15-20 minutes and we were finished eating but had our coffee after."

Stylish 2-Bedroom, Sleeps 5, Short walk to Durham City Centre, Wifi & Laundry

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice stay. Beds very very comfortable for sleeping. Host was prompt in answering questions we had. Would definitely stay here again."

52 Old Elvet

10/10 Excellent

"The only problem we had was our room was not cleaned when we had access at 3pm. There was some insistence on check in-time being 3pm with no wiggle room, which is fine, but then the room was filthy. Had to leave the apartment and wander around exhausted from travel and unable to check-in until after 4pm. To her credit Hannah, the building manager, tried to make it right with a partial refund. Otherwise the apartment was lovely and comfortable."

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."
