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.
