Best Durham Hotels

"We stayed in a deluxe garden room, which was spacious but ultimately disappointing given the high price point. The layout was awkward and not very user-friendly—there were no plug sockets near the bed to charge phones, and the room lacked air conditioning, making it uncomfortably warm and stuffy. To make matters worse, the window/door was broken, so we couldn’t ventilate the room without compromising security. Since it opened directly onto the golf course, guests and golfers were frequently walking past, which also raised privacy concerns. Unfortunately, the room offered very little privacy unless the curtains were drawn—however, the lighting inside was quite poor. Sheer or net curtains would have made a big difference. Surprisingly, for a 4-star hotel, the room lacked basic amenities: no mini fridge, no bathrobes or slippers, no face towels or facial tissues, and the bathroom toiletries were extremely basic. Even the ironing board was old and difficult to use. Staff did attempt to fix the door/window and provided a fan and extension lead, but these were temporary solutions at best. After some back and forth, we were finally upgraded to a better room, which made a big difference. On a positive note, the grounds, spa, food, and overall service were lovely. Just a word of advice: avoid booking the deluxe garden room—it doesn’t live up to expectations."

"Stayed here for one night staff really friendly and helpful. Room very clean and modern well kept, pillows were a bit uncomfortable but bed was amazing. Breakfast was cold but yummy would definitely stay again and recommend hotel"

"My stay at this Premier Inn was excellent! The service was friendly and attentive, making me feel welcomed throughout. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, with a comfortable room. Conveniently located near the train station and just a short distance from multiple bus stops with many routes. It is located right next to Millennium Square, which features a variety of restaurants! Highly recommend this hotel for an enjoyable stay! The picture was taken in the Millenium Square."

"Gorgeous building based on a century old stone house. Newly refurbished. Plenty of parking space. Bar and Indian restaurant on site is very nice. However the food was too sweet to my taste. "

"Food was lovely , clean well kept rooms not so great on checkout when the receptionist did not recognise trip . Com and advised we hadn’t paid despite us showing her confirmation of pre payment "

"Very good experience Breakfast in the room only needs 5 pounds service charge. The hotel culture is well integrated with the local area. Durham deserves the title of the first, and the cost performance is very high at more than 1k. The room is very spacious, but the lighting is very dim, and the air conditioner makes strange noises due to the age of the hotel. It is recommended to book the western restaurant in the hotel, T-Bone is delicious."

"Amazing hotel, perfect location for shopping at the Metro Centre. Fantastic breakfast with good quality ingredients. Also a steam room and swimming pool. The price was really cheap, considering everything on offer. Highly recommended for a short stay."

"The room decoration is very beautiful, artistic, and there is a small garden courtyard. The location is on the hillside, next to a church, quiet. Good breakfast, you can choose English or salmon. It is a ten-minute walk from the train station and the cathedral. Health is OK. Sound insulation is not good."

"quite a distance from Durham about a 15 minutes drive … quiet farm area. nice quaint rustic inn. only gripe is the mattress needs to be changed in room 1. it sinks in the middle and is too soft . room n bathroom has been renovated and the bathroom is done nicely !!"

"Very economical! It's very convenient to go anywhere, very clean room, good value for money"
