Top Durham University Hotel Reviews

Farnley Tower Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed our brief stay here. The room was spacious and clan, all of the staff we spoke to were very helpful and friendly. They made all the guests feel welcome. There was a great choice at breakfast, and the food was cooked to order."

Delta Hotels Durham Royal County

8/10 Good

"Hotel ideally placed. Hotel staff very helpful and polite. The breakfast was good/fine. Our room was large and comfortable with good a/c. Only downside was noise in the evenings."

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."

Hotel Indigo Durham by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay in central Durham. Very comfortable room and the staff were excellent."

Radisson BLU Hotel Durham

10/10 Excellent

"A very pleasant hotel, ideal for exploring Durham and Newcastle. Pros: helpful and friendly staff, a spacious and clean room, and a swimming pool. Unfortunately, there’s an extra charge for parking. From the outside, the building could be better maintained and cleaned (dirty window sills)."

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"

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"

Toast Lettings | St Andrews Court - in the heart of Durham City Centre
