"Always a a good stay with comfortable rooms, helpful staff, and nice food, including excellent breakfast. I would like the bar, restaurant menu to vary though as it has been the same for the many times I have stayed in the last few months. "

"My first visit to this hotel. Very impressed friendly staff and excellent facilities. Only minor issue, the windows only have blinds, these do not effectively block out the light so awake quite early. On the whole excellent."

"Quirty hotel, previously and old council building so still retaining some interesting features. Lovely staff, great ameities. Great sleep and lovely breakfast. Central location for Durham towncentre."

"It’s a brilliantly run hotel. The staff are genuinely invested in the business and its customers. They care that you’re having a lovely time and go above and beyond to make sure you do. Such a stark difference from the large chain hotels I usually stay in for work."

"This is a lovely hotel with great accommodation and facilities. I had booked a deluxe room and from the Expedia room information this room had AC. Unfortunately, when we got to our room it was very hot ( 31 degrees outside) and it didn't have AC. I went down to the reception desk with my proof of AC showing on that website. Apparently, this is an error!! They do have rooms with AC, but it was £10 extra ( Premium room). After a bit of discussion and the member of staff phoning a manager, we were upgraded for no extra charge ( just a pity it took a phone call). Expedia need to fix this error on their website. Overall, a lovely hotel to stay in."
