We stayed here for three nights 4 - 6th June 2012. It was a comfortable enough hotel while being very basic. Our room would have had a great view of Durham Cathedral if it was not for the crinkle glass windows. Being in a room looking overthe road, it was very nosiy on a Friday/Saturday night withthe emergancy services hurrying... More

The room was huge and very clean, Although this room was in need of refurbishment I would say... More

Great location very near city centre. Pleasant walking route (mostly traffic-free) to city Centre, Castle & Cathedral. Slight downside as hotel is on busy road, but we coped with the street noise and our window overlooked the bus stop. Room was big, comfortable, with the statutory squeaky floor of an old inn. Plain furnishings, odd shower and toilet, but it... More
