I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable but lacked heating in the bathroom, which was a bit inconvenient. The location was convenient for visiting Durham, but being on a busy roundabout made it a bit noisy. The service at the reception desk was friendly, but there were some hiccups with a false alarm that woke up my baby. Overall, a decent stay with some minor drawbacks.

I loved the location of the hotel, just outside Durham town centre and a short walk into the city. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but the lack of heating in the bathroom was a downside. The service at the reception desk was friendly and welcoming. The hotel is on a fairly steep hill, but it's worth the walk for the view and convenience.

The hotel offers good views, but the lack of heating in the bathroom was inconvenient. Although there was a false alarm that disturbed our baby's sleep, the hotel is located conveniently for visiting Durham city center.

The hotel's location is perfect, just a short walk from Durham city center and close to the original railway station. The rooms are comfortable, although being woken up by a false alarm was a downside. The hotel's facilities are well-maintained.

The hotel is conveniently located just a ten-minute walk into the city centre of Durham, close to the main tourist areas. The rooms are comfortable with a good bathroom, but there is no heating in the bathroom. The staff at the reception desk is friendly, however, the location is further uphill from the centre. Overall, a decent value hotel with some minor room amenities to consider.
