Kings Lodge Hotel  

Friendly staff

Not being able to book an evening meal in the Restaraunt. Also the memor y foam mattress in room 7

Superb hotel set in an excellent location.

nothing !!!!!!

Very helpful staff. Good independent restaurant attached to hotel.

Lovely clean room. Lovely location near to city centre.

Very disappointed with breakfast. Very tiny portion, not properly cooked and poor value for money.

Friendly staff, excellent restaurant for breakfast and dinner.

Duvets and pillows

The hotel was set in a nice quiet location just on the outskirts of the town but within a 10 minute walk to the centre.

The room was very dated and not very well cleaned. As soon as you walked in the door there was a smell of drains and when you flushed the toilet it sounded like a fog horn. The mattress was well past its date and not very comfy. The staff at breakfast were not very welcoming and you felt they were eager to get you out as soon as possible. Choice of food was poor and nothing was replenished. Very poor value for money.

Quiet but central location. Friendly, efficient staff. Comfortable room and excellent breakfast.

Comfortable. Well restored home. Warm and friendly staff. Very vice restaurant. Easy access.

The staff was very helpfull and gave a very good service. I would be happy to stay there again

Very good food Nice Restarant Friendy Staff

Small Room - Basic

I came with my sister, on the way home after a holiday in Northumberland, it finished the holiday off beautifullly, hotel was very good, Fab location, we did the woodland walk which is right next door to the Hotel, and Durham is a beautiful city, we will be back

The little touches such as tea/coffee availability in the guest lounge, good quality shower gel, complimentary papers at breakfast.

Location Handy for station

Hilly though not fault of hotel Bar mainly used by people waiting for resturaunt rather than as a pub

Quality of Food, friendliness of staff, car parking, walking distance to town centre, backing onto woodlands

Hotel is old, furnishing is old and basic, double room was tight, double bed was small

Nice hotel in a nice setting. Very quiet neighborhood, except for the occasional train passing by on a nearby bridge (but not that often or noisy). Wildlands with walking trail behind the lodge made it feel like you were in the country, but it was easy walking distance to city center.

The power of the shower the clean room the bar & restaurant the breakfast and the location

Do not like sleeping in an unattended hotel which was not staffed during the night! All 4 of us found this worrying in case of an event such as fire or even a burglar??

Good location, especially for Rail station. Very friendly

small rooms and cramped shower, prefer buffet style for breakfast

Comfortable, slightly shabby, excellent attached restaurant.

Only 5-10 minutes walk from station. Nice restaurant attached and there is a bar in the hotel.

Directions on website for walking from station to hotel need making clearer. Bed wasn't great - noisy and not too comfortable.

Good location for city centre, easily walkable in 5 mins. Ample parking, free wifi, and although I didn't eat in restaurant, I heard nothing but praise from other guests.

Rooms are comfortable and have tea/coffee facilities, but bathrooms could do with a little more attention when being cleaned.

I really enjoyed Finbarrs restaurant. As I have the same name I was surprised to find this place and how good the food is and at a very good price. Staff even let me borrow a mobile phone charger when my battery was low.

The location was ideal, being close to the town centre and all amenities and with a country park on the doorstep, literally! The food in the restaurant was sublime, the residents' lounge a bonus and we couldn't really fault anything. Thanks to Jess who is very friendly and helpful and a good advert for the Kingslodge.

Would have liked a bath but shower was good anyway - am really struggling to find something we didn't like

Food was excellent. Restaurant very elegant and good service.

First visit to Durham was pleased with the hotel I picked. It was lovely very homely, polite staff, great breakfast. We went by train from Hull and left car at home the hotel was five mins from station ask the lady in the shop within the station, when we went out we where about ten mins from the mine street with the shops and pubs and the Cathedral and Castle where within walking distance too. Had a great time would diff go back. Need to wear comfy shoes.

Location excellent for my purposes quick overnight and back home on train Breakfast first class Bar nice

Single room was what it said it was, a single room adequate for a night or two at most I am not the smallest or slimmest guy in the world
