Premier Inn Durham East

Premier Inn Durham East ★★★

📍 Broomside Park, Belmont

"Location- good, we booked to visit Durham and Beamish. Restaurant - good although 2 of our choices were unavailable. Room- clean and of a good standard however, we had booked a family room and one of the made up beds was so uncomfortable. The worst part was the quality of sleep. The room was incredibly hot. When I reported this I was told that people normally complain because it’s cold and was asked to check the radiator. It wasn’t on. During check out, I reported it again and was told it was because we had a family room. The temperature was 26.5 degrees. We were all awake at 2am, went to sit outside at 6am and thankfully due to 12 o’clock Check out, we managed to get our children to nap so not to ruin their day."

📍 59 Old Elvet, Durham

"The toilet seat was dirty, and the facilities were quite old. The faucets had separate hot and cold water taps, which were a bit difficult to use. When someone walked past the door, the floor inside would creak loudly. Breakfast and the environment were decent."

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."

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!"

Premier Inn Durham East ★★★
"Room and welcome excellent. What lets this place down is the food and service in the Beefeater next door. Dinner was very poorly cooked and presented, the service was slow and difficult to find a server. The cooked breakfast here is “made to order” and not a hot buffet as at most places, but the bacon had obviously been standing around for an extended period and the quality of ingredients very poor. Would not recommend eating here at all."

"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."
