Delta Hotels by Marriott Durham Royal County ★★★★

📍 59 Old Elvet, Durham

"This is a very traditional British hotel. The building itself feels steeped in history, and the staff are very much in the English style. The room was clean and tidy, and the soundproofing was good. The air conditioning was plenty warm enough in winter, though it was a bit noisy. The hotel is located right near the town center, just a few minutes' walk, allowing you to soak in the charm of a classic English town."

40 Winks Hospitality ★★★★

📍 40 South Street, Durham. DH14QP, Durham

"This hotel is simply stunning! We loved every part of it. We stayed in the Gala room, which was beautiful. The roll top bath in the large bay window with views of Durham Cathedral was very special. Breakfast was excellent and a real treat. A special thank you to all the hardworking staff, who were so kind and welcoming. We really liked chatting with the lovely George (hotel manager). He was so friendly and he told us about the history of the building, which was really interesting. We will definitely be returning and 100% recommend this place."

"Very cozy place with an excellent onsite restaurant/pub. We were able to take a stroll into town and come back easily whenever we wanted. Service is friendly and rooms are comfortable for a good night’s sleep. All in all, a restful stay in an unforgettable historic city."

My Way Guest House Hotels in Durham

My Way Guest House

"Had a lovely two night stay. Kaye and Steve are very friendly, chilled and accommodating. Home from home feel, the location to Durham centre is perfect and set in beautiful grounds with fab views. Very peaceful and quiet. Great exterior facilities and the communal kitchen/lounge facilities are akin to a self catered property! So useful especially if you’re staying a few nights. Everything was immaculately clean everywhere. Breakfast was a quality continental selection, with fresh eggs and a fab egg cooker to make boiled eggs just as you like them. And all essential fresh coffee and presses. Only downside we felt, was the constant early morning activity, bumping and creaking floorboards from the floor above. Great value for money. Look forward to staying again."

The Shoes Hotels in Durham

The Shoes

"My cousin and I stayed for 1 night as we were catching up with our other cousin who lives in Durham. We were checked in quickly by a lovely lady who was working on the bar. The room was basic but spotlessly clean as was the bathroom. We were also asked what time we would like breakfast the following morning. We had a few pints in the bar before going into Durham for a meal. Breakfast was hot and plentiful and very tasty. Plenty of tea and coffee too. My only bugbear was the distance from the city centre and the hill but that’s why it’s such a reasonable price. Taxis were cheap though and if we hadn’t been on a timescale we would have walked in. We did walk it to the train station when we checked out. It’s downhill and only took us about 20 minutes (we’re not spring chickens lol) if we are ever meeting up again I wouldn’t hesitate to book The Shoes We were made to feel very welcome"

Durham Riverside Apartments Hotels in Durham

Durham Riverside Apartments

"This hidden gem is the best apartment I have ever stayed in. The quality of the furniture and furnishings is second to none. The communication from the owners meant we easily found the underground car parking included in the price. The owner was there to meet and greet us. He gave a comprehensive tour of the pristine apartment and outside. A host of goodies were there for us to enjoy. Fresh croissants, bread, individually wrapped quality butter, milk, teas, coffee, hot chocolate, jams, eggs and wine! Overlooking the River Wear, we relaxed on the generous balcony watching the world go by. I could have stayed there forever but we were due at an event at the Cathedral. The apartment is so central. If you are reasonably fit (I’m 71 and could do it!) the shops and cathedral are easily accessible uphill all the way. If not so fit, there are buses and taxis. The owner left booklets and a folder with all necessary information. I was very reluctant to write this review as I’d like to keep it all to myself. Go on, treat yourself. It’s worth it!"

"High quality, clean, quick and friendly check-in. No drama. A very solid hotel in Durham. Just don't try and walk from there to the railway station with a heavy case - there's a massive hill!"

40 Winks Hospitality ★★★★
"We spend six glorious nights at 40 Winks Guest House to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we were instantly made to feel royally welcome. Our suite overlooking the river Wear and Durham Cathedral had been prepared and decorated in style with balloons, chocs etc. - see photo. Very comfortable spacious room, large bathroom with bath, stand alone shower and more than enough space for anyone. The manager George was particularly helpful with advice about the city, parking restrictions etc as well as being responsible for some wonderful breakfasts. 40 Winks will suit people who want a quiet, peaceful place to stay. Five suites and four other bedrooms give it a quite an exclusive vibe and together with the dark, tasteful decoration in the staircase and landings it is quite sumptuous. Are there any downsides? I guess if you have mobility issues the stairs may not be easy as the property has no lift because it is a period townhouse and there is only on street parking - expensive outside but much cheaper in a side road. Listening to the soft bells of Durham Cathedral drifting across the river Wear as you wake or go to sleep however is completely relaxing. Highly recommended."
