FAQs about hotels in Durham
Sacred English Heritage
Durham could definitely be one of those towns that appear in fairy tales and stories of kings and knights. Lying on a hilled peninsula formed by the Wear River, the striking cathedral overlooks from the hilltop, surrounded by the castle, palaces and historic buildings. Get transported back in time by the magic of this English jewel, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Though archaeological evidence suggests the area has been inhabited since 2000 BC, the present-day settlement was founded by monks from Lindisfarne in 995, choosing the area as the final resting place of Saint Cuthbert. Symeon of Durham stated once that ‘to see Durham is to see the English Zion, and by doing so one may save oneself a trip to Jerusalem’. Hotels and B&Bs in Durham’s historic centre are a popular choice to enjoy this historic legacy.
Its powerful religious position granted such great honour to the city, that the bishop still holds the rights to a seat in the House of Lords, and to accompany the sovereign at the coronation. During the 19th century and encompassing the industrial revolution, the university was founded, with Durham Castle becoming its first college.
Whether you’re searching for a cottage, a modern hotel, or a cheap hostel, Booking.com offers a wide range of accommodation in the area.

A lot of pubs where the students go were scruffy and uninviting ( ripped furniture etc). Loved the areas around the cathedral, castle, town square and the river. Tour of castle was limited to 4 areas due to students living in the castle which we were not informed about when we purchased tickets. Thought it was a total waste of time going. Some nice places to eat such as the Spice Lounge just off the square,Turkish kitchen near the cathedral and the Boat Club near the river.Tracy - 10Scored 10
Durham is a great place for a short break.
Durham is a great place for a short break. Plenty to do and see. The Cathedral and Castle were amazing. The walk along the river was lovely, especially when the sun came out! Lots of places to eat. Would highly recommend.AudreyUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
I loved Durham. I did a tour of the Cathedral and Castle.
I loved Durham. I did a tour of the Cathedral and Castle. I felt very safe being on my own and people I did speak to were very chatty. It was very peaceful walking along the river. There did seem to be an awful lot of Church's, I attended the Easter Service at the Cathedral, it was lovely. The choir had 30 children and 11 adults in it. The volunteers were very good. I would like to come again soon. I stayed at the Kingslodge Inn, and ate there and at an Indian Restaurant Alishan. The food was delicious.AmandaUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
Lovely town centre, quaint streets and shops.
Lovely town centre, quaint streets and shops. Cathedral is a must! No charge for admission but a donation is appreciated. Cathedral restaurant is very good Every single local we spoke to was pleasant and friendly. An absolutely lovely place Only downside is the hills. We struggled a little 4th Photo is view from the B&B

Durham Cathedral is a must, of all the cathedrals i have visited this must rate as the highest. It was warm, packed with history and information. Great shop, cafe and clean toilets. Durham guided tour of the Castle is also very good, just be aware to do either or both, its going up quite a steep climb. You must take the time to visit the living museum at Beamish, although be prepared to allow two days or at least a day and a half. There is so much to see, and the interaction with the characters on the site is fantastic and so informative. Enjoy the vintage tram and bus rides and dont miss out on puffing Billy. FInally make sure you see the Bowes Museum, it will probably take you 3-4 hours but its worth it.LYNNUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

Durham is a stunning university town with a traditional marketplace. The architecture is beautiful, there are a few museums and lots of good places to eat. No visit is complete without visiting the cathedral!HarrietChina

- From $96.19 per night7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 2,074 reviewsThe property itself is a warm, wooden interior, very cosy feel, but then with all modern amenities provided. the look and feel of a much more expensive hotel. We were made very welcome—including our little dog—and the staff were efficient and friendly. Beds soooooo comfortable. For me, who doesn’t drive, being on the bus route was great, and the 10 mins ride into Durham was definitely worth the huge saving vs a city centre hotel. will definitely book again.DebraUnited Kingdom
- 7.1Scored 7.1GoodRated good· 1,610 reviewsThe hotel had the basic amenities. Everything was clean and well maintained. Please note that I was here for longer than the average stay ( I was there for 14 or so days) I cannot praise the staff highly enough. I had a couple of personal crises with family members and the staff helped me to navigate the situations very competently and professionally. Aside from that, the staff were always receptive, helpful and attentive to any needs I had.AnnemarieUnited States of America
