The hotel is in a great location, just across the river from the middle of Durham and its sites, shops and bars. The room was comfortable and a good size.

A hotel which has clearly seen better days. Durham has deteriorated over the years and the at night it feels a tad unsafe with the locals youths.

Nice hotel, near downtown.
The staff at reception was very helpful; they gave me great advice on a route for my morning walk, and stored my (heavy!) luggage for a few hours after my checkout very graciously. My room was very nice, in the older part of the hotel. My only complaint is that there was something very noisy going on in the space above me throughout the morning...it sounded like weight-lifting, or moving furniture, and went on for hours. Didn't bother me much, but it might have bothered someone more sensitive to noise.

Friendly reception and restaurant staff. Good to have a noon checkout and breakfast served till 10.30am. So didnt feel rushed. I actually like the fact that the rooms are only serviced every 2 days but if you need fresh towels etc you just ask.

Very enjoyable stay
It was actually my daughter that I booked for. The booking process was easy, the hotel were happy to confirm details and very helpful. My daughter loved her 'superior room' with a river view and had a very pleasant stay, The staff were very nice, the breakfast was standard but good and she would definitely stay again if it were in a similar room.
