Wark Holidays from £129

A no-frills option and cheaper than most accommodation in Durham. Property is tired with some damage to fixtures and fittings including the door jamb, and could do with a renovation and/or deep clean. Car parking is free and convenient, and staff were helpful when there. Conveniently located within walking distance of a retail park for breakfast options.

Good location for city centre and big enough for a large group

Great location, affordable apartment for a large group. Metro link directly outside the door to connect you to Newcastle. Apartment in great condition and would recommend this place. Check in was difficult as you need to communicate with host over phone to retrieve the code to access the key but apart from that it was great. Security deposit usually scares me from booking with places as i have been scammed before but rest assured there is no scamming here, with the host very kind when spoke on the phone.

Excellent stay here - warm welcome at check in ; helpful staff. Rooms clean with ecerything you need - some free items in the mini bar . The breakfast is fantastic - lovely variety with fruits, fresh bread and pastries and cooked food also. This hotel has a cocktail bar and a tv ( but not intrusive ) so we could watch the sport . Ginos restaurant is on site and also provides excellent food. Location fab to explore the quayside and beyond. Thank you yo all.

I stayed here previously last year but since then, standards of cleanliness and general upkeep seem to have fallen. In the bedroom, three of four pillows on the bed had brown marks on them; the dressing table chair had a long brown streaky stain on it (looked like 💩) and in the bathroom, there was no rubber seal on the bottom of the glass shower screen, so water poured out onto the floor when showering. Other minor cosmetic issues included missing tiles under the bathroom sink, and scuffs on walls and furniture. When I checked out and made the staff at Holiday Inn aware (not sure if they own or just manage the property) they were very apologetic and said they would look into it, so I cannot fault their customer service. If the apartment had been properly cleaned and maintained, I probably would’ve not even noticed the minor issues that were there, but it’s hard to overlook basic cleanliness and maintenance.
