Top Durham Hotel Reviews

Bowburn Hall Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Dec and Jaime on a night are great always give 5 star service and the chef cooks amazing food, Tiff on breakfast is also brilliant always"

Hotel 52 - Stanley

8/10 Good

"The hotel was clean and modern. The breakfast in the adjacent restaurant was good although it wasn't available on the Monday. The toilet seat in my room wouldn't stay up. The TV remote didn't work. With the help of a friend we worked out how to switch the power on to the TV (behind the screen) and we were able to control it using the buttons underneath the bottom right of the TV. We worked out how to switch on the power to the shower by using the pull chord. I discovered that my double bed was two single beds pushed together. I did sleep reasonably well. Overall I enjoyed my stay. The hotel was in a convenient location for the town centre and for public transport to the Beamish Museum and the Tanfield Railway. The staff member I spoke to was friendly."

Delta Hotels Durham Royal County

8/10 Good

"Very old hotel and a little shabby in parts but still clean. Breakfast was good, hot and well cooked. Room was good size, we had family room with 2 doubles and it was clean, bathroom was big but why only 1 hook so nowhere to hang clothes etc What makes this hotel is the staff, friendly, helpful and professional. A little pricey for what we had but apparently Durham is expensive and the location is excellent. We would return"
