Top Durham Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Radisson BLU Hotel Durham

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful stay right on the river, parking available at additional fee. Will be stopping again next time we visit daughter at university."

40 Winks

8/10 Good

"Friendly welcome, super breakfast and excellent location"

Delta Hotels Durham Royal County

10/10 Excellent

"Good comfortable rooms.Good breakfasts and helpful reception staff.A new toaster is needed.Too slow."

Ramside Hall Hotel, Golf and Spa

8/10 Good

"Visited on a weekend and there were so many different functions going on that it was too busy and noisy. Really not worth the money. Also room was cold and musty and there was mould on the back of curtains"

Hotel Indigo Durham by IHG

8/10 Good

"Some of the furniture in the room required repair, lighting was dim as no main light. Some light fittings were loose. The windows did not secure and we were on the lower ground floor, Aircon was pointed at the pillows on the bed which has your face and neck cold."

52 Old Elvet

10/10 Excellent

"The only problem we had was our room was not cleaned when we had access at 3pm. There was some insistence on check in-time being 3pm with no wiggle room, which is fine, but then the room was filthy. Had to leave the apartment and wander around exhausted from travel and unable to check-in until after 4pm. To her credit Hannah, the building manager, tried to make it right with a partial refund. Otherwise the apartment was lovely and comfortable."

Travelodge Durham

8/10 Good

"Overall: Very nicely clean! Lovely room, bathroom & view. A bit of a hike to get to the actual room itself, but a pleasant one. Facilities: USB ports worked well for charging. No microwave/fridge available in the room I chose, although I should've inquired about this I suppose. Was able to make instant oatmeal for breakfast using the water kettle & mugs provided. Nice tea/coffee options. Didn't try the "grab-and-go" breakfast—costs extra and doesn't seem super nutritious. Careful: Wifi also costs extra after the first 30 mins you use it per 24-hour period. This was frustrating. But it also wasn't very expensive to buy access (something like £3.50 extra per 24 hours). Friendly staff, but no one was at the reception desk initially. Make sure you have cell service if you need to call them—I didn't, but got lucky since some passersby let me use their phone to call reception. Not sure if pet-friendly. Don't use a car to visit Durham. Take the train!"

Toast Lettings | Kirkwood Drive, a 4 bedroom townhouse close to Durham City

8/10 Good

"Very comfortable,and clean. Very comfortable beds and lovely bathrooms. very quiet area.The house was warm- except the kitchen which was very cold and we were unable to warm it up. Would recommend house - easy parking and near town so easy to walk to the centre and the cathedral - 10 mins. Nice stay."

Toast Lettings | St Andrews Court - in the heart of Durham City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great apartment in a convenient location. Plenty of space, well laid out and furnished. Was great to have a parking space provided too. "
