6/10 Good

Ok for short stay

In close distance to Durham. Nice Pub and Thai Restaurant on Site. Friendly staff. Let down by bad odour in the guest part and in the room. Next to a busy road means you can’t sleep with the windows open. Very bouncy mattress and uncomfortable pillows.
Anja, 2-night trip

Excellent service, very convenient. Breakfast can be better
Sudeep, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Welcoming and friendly staff ,clean room similar to prem inn in design. Breakfast at £11.00 is not really worth it . The primary care centre near by does a full English for £6.00 far beter. Bar food though is good and if you want a bit of class trir Thai restaurant is excellent.

Great place to stay

The hotel is well situated from Durham city, about 10-15 minutes drive to either The Riverwalk or Walkergate very central car parks. The family room (3 people) was comfortable, cleaned every day and spacious. The hotel has a great Thai restaurant and pub/bar (food and drinks in both areas, affordable prices). The staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
