Staff friendly. Food very good. Comfortable hotel.

Sheila, United Kingdom

Jeffrey, United Kingdom

Warm and welcoming friendly staff, good restaurant, serving good value food for money

Robin, United Kingdom

the beds are very comfortable and rooms well presented

Michael, United Kingdom

The staff were very pleasant. Room 10 ridiculously small bathroom minute couldn't even get into without opening door wide. Very disappointed with the room. Will not revisit..... in fact a Premier Inn or Travelodge would have been better all round value in Durham centre. Will definitely have a big rethink about using Booking.com again and reliance on hotel descriptions to be honest!

Phil, United Kingdom

The bedrooms were well presented. The staff in the evening and the food were good.

Jane, United Kingdom

Overall, very nice, breakfast and service could be improved and, there are changes I would make to the bathrooms ( I work in hotel refurbishments)

Booking.com guest review guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This lets us know that our reviews come from real guests, like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or quiet room than someone who’s stayed at the property before?

We want you to share your story, both the good and the bad. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinion and experiences, which are critical in helping guests make well-informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, and are treated with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after being moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

Once a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We will use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content as well as the property replies to that content.

We will allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is that of a distributor of feedback from both guest and property.

Guidelines and standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc...).

      눉The bed was not comfortable at all. Also because the building itself is quite old, the wall are paper thin so you can hear everyone going past your room. There is nothing the hotel can do about this particular issue but it is something to be aware of.

      눇Very relaxed atmosphere. Very clean.

      눉Heating was off after dinner, had to request it back on. Breakfast was ok, sausage was burnt, bread roll was well past it’s best by. Location wasn’t great and from the outside looked run down and shabby but was very nice inside.

      눇Executive room was surprisingly good, the room was a good size and good quality fixtures and fittings, lovely four poster bed, good size tv. All round good value.

      눉See above

      눇The staff were very pleasant. Room 10 ridiculously small bathroom minute couldn't even get into without opening door wide. Very disappointed with the room. Will not revisit..... in fact a Premier Inn or Travelodge would have been better all round value in Durham centre. Will definitely have a big rethink about using Booking.com again and reliance on hotel descriptions to be honest!
