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.

Durham is a great city with lots of great places to eat.
Durham is a great city with lots of great places to eat. The Beamish museum is a short car journey away and is a great family day out. The cathedral and castle are an amazing visit to Durham's past. Expect to do a lot of walking, and most of it uphill. Durham like most historic city's has beautiful cobbled streets so good comfortable shoes are recommended.

Durham offers something for everyone.
Durham offers something for everyone. Even more for those who wish to explore the historic castle and Cathedral and surrounding streets. The city offers a comprehensive range of food and restaurants. It is accessible by road and rail. If you find steep streets challenging there are still plenty of places to pause and browse or rest and eat or drink. It is a beautiful city to visit.MichaelUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0

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

- From $145.21 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 3,464 reviewsThe location was ideal - less than 5 minute walk to the city centre of Durham, although this also means there are a considerable number of drunk, belligerent people outside and around the hotel on weekends and evenings. Staff were generally responsive to concerns, but they were clearly overwhelmed and unable to keep up with the number of guests staying at the hotel.
World Traveller 87Canada - 9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 26 reviewsLocation is convenient for Durham City. The house has easy off-road parking. As we travelled to and fro on foot, we can't comment on the bus service, or car parking in the city centre. If you're planning to walk, you should be aware that it's about 1.5 miles to the city centre - and Durham being what it is, it's not a flat walk.WilliamUnited Kingdom
