Would definitely recommend and we will definitely come back! ##### Natasha Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dillon 6 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We were amazed by our stay at OYO townhouse. We stayed in Le Jardin room and know Durham well. It surpassed all expectations with a truly gorgeous room with a beautiful that was also very private. The hot tub was super and lit up lovely in the evening/night. The service was exceptional and we were well looked after by a range of people. The hotel bar was really lovely too and we enjoyed this before and after meals. We were lucky enough to get engaged on our stay here and it made the whole trip even more memorable. Nothing to fault from the whole experience! ##### Dillon ### 6/10 Okay #### David 21 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Mixed feelings... great staff and hotel, poor room Daniel and his staff are very friendly and do a good job. The hotel reception, bar and restaurant are all of a very good standard. The theme of the rooms is good. Its a really hard review to give as the hotel is nice and I know Daniel has only had the hotel since January but on this occasion the room fell short The room was themed as a cruise line. Colours and furniture were all matching the theme. Few points room needs a bin as the tiny bin in bathroom was not suitable. Some blackout blinds are needed as the curtains are very pale and let lots of light in. The room does need some attention there was damage to the decor and lots of bits wrong. The bathroom was probably the worst bit. Needs lots of attention. Mixed fittings, shower temperamental, bath needs resealing Would I stay here again, I would but just not in the cruise room ![Damage to wallpaper ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e3037b7b-a67d-41ab-90b6-82ba4e8ab2ca-1745247412448.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Sindows need painting ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/305359bc-d8f5-4f07-bc0a-9f0144254cf0-1745247417928.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Damaged shower](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d41690b0-a593-4e4a-9502-68f0bc5744d3-1745247416195.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Miising hot top off tap](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/99c669b8-e0f7-4980-a334-9d985a741770-1745247416961.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Arkadiusz 28 Sept 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort The hotel stopped operating in July ##### Arkadiusz Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jeanette 15 Sept 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### This hotel is closed This hotel is closed and has been for several weeks. ##### Jeanette Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Andrea 10 Oct 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We got there and there was a note on the door saying the hotel was repossessed as and they still took payment out of my account do I’m now in the middle of trying to get money back, ![We booked this 3 weeks ago and it’s been closed down since the 25th July .
