Top Wharton Park Hotel Reviews

Delta Hotels Durham Royal County

8/10 Good

"Room was small but had everything we needed. There was, however one flickering ceiling light and some dust on the bed frame. I noticed the mattress was covered with a duvet or mattress cover and wondered why?! Unfortunately, the bad night’s sleep and back ache that ensued was due to a very worn and uncomfy mattress. Breakfast was good, staff very polite and helpful. Parking was easy and £11 extra on your stay"

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."

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!"

"Very comfortable,and clean. Very comfortable beds and lovely bathrooms. very quiet area.The house was warm- except the kitchen which was very cold and we were unable to warm it up.
