My husband and i stayed at the Radisson Blu hotel in Durham on May 5th for 1 night. We went business class which is well worth the extra money. The room was lovely, clean, spacious and had fantastic views. The reception was warm and friendly and we loved that we could check in at 14.00 instead of 15.00 as in... More

Unfortunatley didnt get to stay at the hotel but visited the bar for an early evening meal (as the restaurant was closed) . It was fairly quiet and the barman pleasant. When I gave the meal order and got my receipt I noticed he had booked the wrong type of burger-with items I didnt want. I was offered the extras... More

My colleague had booked a group of us into this hotel for a business trip. At first I thought it was a bit pricey compared to the Holiday INN but it was fantastic. OK there is no SKY News or Sports in the room but it is very well appointed. Loved the Nespresso Machine, Free Parking , Inclusion of Breakfast... More

We were delighted with the size and standard of the executive room; there were so many extras that enhanced the visit for me including feather pillows, a superking size bed and good quality linen, a coffee machine And robes. The visit would have been perfect except for a fifteen minute wait for a table for breakfast on the Sunday morning.... More

I stayed at this hotel oiver the weekend with my husband. The hotel was easy to find from the motorway with plenty of secure parking. The parking charge was £7.00 for the period of stay of one night which was good value considering the cost to park elsewhere. The reception was spacious and the staff were extremely helpful. The room... More

We stayed for 3 nights in early May and had a spacious room overlooking the river Wear and Durham Cathedral. The hotel was clean, well run and functional with a good leisure centre and an acceptable restaurant. I know we're in a recession but they were a bit stingy - only two teabags in our room, no biscuits, no water,... More

Thank you for your review of the hotel. I am sorry that you did not feel we were particularly generous with the amenities, I would just draw your attention to the One Touch Service we operate and if you had needed anything extra then all you would have needed to do is pick up the phone. I do hope that... More

Great hotel, with a nice riverside location. Nice welcome by friendly but effcient staff. Modern throughout, the rooms are spacious and well finished with modern fixture and fittings so represents good value overall. Only minor gripe was that breakfast was not included in my rate, but a £15 pound charge was not excessive for what was a good buffet breakfast.... More
