Great location and parking was handy on site. Polite and helpful reception staff and our room was lovely. Only the airconditioning unit kept going on and off then ticked. So should have just turned it off. A fantastic breakfast so overall 4/5 stars.

Excellent hotel within walking distance of the city’s landmarks. Hotel staff were really friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and clean. Building was previously a Victorian County Hall and had been converted into a hotel to retain many of the outstanding features. Restaurant provided a wide selection of dishes, which were well presented and delicious. Will definitely return for future visits to Durham.
