Top Durham Botanic Garden Hotel Reviews

Hotel Bannatyne Durham

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was clean and tidy. Our room was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom had a good shower cubicle in it and a nice powerful shower. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our short stay."

Radisson BLU Hotel Durham

8/10 Good

"The room could do with a little more cleaning and there was some black mould around the bath tub. The toilet needed a deep clean too! The staff on reception were excellent and special mention to Scarlet, Chloe and Josh for their help and kindness. Scarlet was particularly helpful in sorting out an alternative room for me as I wasn’t keen having a room with an adjoining door to the next room (even though it was locked!) Also special thanks to Jack (who managed the spa) and was very keen to try and sort out an issue with the steam room. He was very apologetic about this particular facility having constant issues. All in all an enjoyable stay."

Farnley Tower Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel situated on a steep hill overlooking Durham. Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely rooms, reasonable price and a fantastic top draw indian restaurant within the hotel. Decent breakfast too."

Hotel Indigo Durham by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel and staff very helpful"

The Kingslodge Inn - The Inn Collection Group

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived early and staff were helpful in explaining how walk into Durham. The hotel was nice and had a good sized car park, all was clean and tidy, we had a nice quiet room at the back. There was a good selection of beers at the bar. Because of the hot weather we weren't too hungry in the evening but chose a selection of small plates after a dish of mussels for me and a prawn cocktail for my wife. The mussels were the only disappointment of the stay, they were tiny and I had several empty shells with no spare mussels in the bottom!!! We both enjoyed a good breakfast the following morning, which was freshly made from a good choice on the menu. All in all a very pleasant stay and a place I would happily visit again. For dog owners, you can take your dog but not into the restaurant section."

Premier Inn Durham City Centre - Walkergate

8/10 Good

"Generally, we had an excellent stay. I recommend if you're staying in Durham. However, two notes. 1) if you want your room cleaned, make sure the staff follow through. 2) they say "kids eat free all day," but that's only off the kids menu"
