10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay in this beautiful boutique hotel. We booked the room overlooking the Cathedral which was stunning. The room was really large and immaculately designed. The gentleman who checked us in was so friendly and helpful. The walk was no more than 10 minutes to the centre. We were so impressed with this hotel and Durham we would definitely come back."

The Kingslodge Inn - The Inn Collection Group

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, ideally located for Durham centre & train station. Staff were helpful & welcoming. Room has been recently refurbished & everything was nice, clean & tidy. We ate in the hotel one night - it was nice but could have been a bit hotter. We went to Veera’s (Indian) the following night which was lovely & a 10 min walk away. Parked at hotel easily & breakfast included- very nice."

St Chads College

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay at a reasonable price for events in Durham and Newcastle. A short walk to the cathedral, castle and city centre. Student rooms are basic but clean."

The Queens Head

8/10 Good

"Enjoyable stay, long walk from town centre"

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"
