It was grand
Catherine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely place, especially when it's a 10-15 minute walk into Durham. Bar area was friendly staff were lovely.
Jenny, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

If you value your sleep

Room ok bed comfortable staff friendly enough. Main problem was the music in the pub downstairs reverberating until half past midnight followed by the revellers leaving until one o’clock
Laurence W, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Did the trick

Did the job for the reasonable price tag, bed was clean and comfortable and Durham centre a nice walk away from the property. We would consider staying again if on a budget.

Cheap and cheerful

Great value for money. Clean and tidy, if a little rough around the edges.

6/10 Good

Wouldn’t stay again

Carpets were tatty and dirty, mirror was splattered in something. The bed side table was an safe with sicky back plastic on. The door to the room had clearly been forced open at some point and the key and door numbers don’t match ie I was in room 7 but keys had a fob on for room 17. The shared bathroom was dated and dirty so other than having to use the toilet I waited till I was home to shower. Yuck !

Stay in Queens Head, Gilesgate

This was a fine hotel to stay in for a couple days, and the people working there were friendly and helpful. Shared bathroom was clean enough for the most part, as was the little kitchen used. Towels, coffee, tea, and TV were in the room, which was nice, and the bed was comfortable. It's not a fancy hotel, but works for solo traveller looking for inexpensive accommodation. 20 min walk to city centre and buses run right by the hotel.

This property was amazing, the staff were so lovely. The room was clean and very spacious with a nice comfortable bed clean sheets and a tv. There was tea and coffee in the room also. Amazing stay, will definitely be coming again! M.
Sophie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was very pleasant as were the staff. The only issue was the music in the bar below is on until 11.30pm, which would be a problem if you needed an early night.
Raglan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice stay

Quick check in, with a very pleasant young lady, room does need a little TLC, bedding clean and towels clean
Sharon, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Bedroom was very nice, smaller than expected but clean with everything we needed. Bathroom was lovely. Shame that they don’t make food there anymore, like advertised online.

6/10 Good

The Pub was ideal for my needs as I was staying for a couple of nights to attend a Football match.It was a decent base for a drink at the end of each day after exploring Durham in the evenings.
