Top The River Wear Hotel Reviews

Hotel Indigo Durham by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Room was spacious and clean, a little card and a note on the mirror was a nice touch for our wedding anniversary . Would recommend"

Radisson BLU Hotel Durham

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay as always. Clean and comfortable"

The Kingslodge Inn - The Inn Collection Group

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived early and staff were helpful in explaining how walk into Durham. The hotel was nice and had a good sized car park, all was clean and tidy, we had a nice quiet room at the back. There was a good selection of beers at the bar. Because of the hot weather we weren't too hungry in the evening but chose a selection of small plates after a dish of mussels for me and a prawn cocktail for my wife. The mussels were the only disappointment of the stay, they were tiny and I had several empty shells with no spare mussels in the bottom!!! We both enjoyed a good breakfast the following morning, which was freshly made from a good choice on the menu. All in all a very pleasant stay and a place I would happily visit again. For dog owners, you can take your dog but not into the restaurant section."

Premier Inn Durham City Centre - Walkergate

8/10 Good

"Generally, we had an excellent stay. I recommend if you're staying in Durham. However, two notes. 1) if you want your room cleaned, make sure the staff follow through. 2) they say "kids eat free all day," but that's only off the kids menu"

52 Old Elvet

8/10 Good

"Good location within walking distance to the shops etc Parking at the rear Excellent communication from the host Flat very clean"

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 | Apartment 4 The Grove minutes walk from Durham City

8/10 Good

"Great quiet location and reasonable walk to the city centre. Great access down to the river and woodland walks around the area of the flat. There is a Sainsbury's local a short walk away. The flat is nestled in the trees and we heard then saw two owls early one morning, a lovely bonus.The flat is clean, warm and cosy, it would be helpful to have a few extra things like proper oven gloves a little more crockery (only 4 of each). Two of the dining chairs had very wobbly legs so we didn't sit on them. Also clarification of the parking in the notes/instructions as it said park at the top but there was building work and not really room for our car along with another visitor's car without someone being blocked in. It was ok to park at the bottom of the flats, it would just be helpful to know on arrival. Great stay though and would come again, thank you."

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. "
