"I forgot what they call it when there’s a gem within a gem; I think the term is inclusion. In any case Durham itself as a gem, and this hotel feels like the best of the charming character of Durham distilled into a building that’s at once historical, and yet completely full of modern convenience."
"Goid comfy bed in a nice room we were upgraded without extra cost. Wifi a bit patchy when the hotel was busy. No problem at all parking although of course there is the extra cost. Good location for central Durham"
