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.

My favourite city since childhood.
My favourite city since childhood. Anyone who hasn't visited the historic city are missing out on one of the most beautiful cities in the UK. Small but a delight.which will be a memory of a lifetime.Guest review byWilliamUnited Kingdom - 10.0
Visit to Durham Castle is rather misleading.
Visit to Durham Castle is rather misleading. Students occupy the Motte! Park & ride buses are very welcome. Riverside walks are wonderful and relatively flat. Durham Cathedral is a must visit. Beamish is a must visit - lots to see. Hadrian's Wall at Chesters Fort - not too far away. Rivers Tyne, Derwent and Wear are very attractive. A visit to the moors is very quiet, yet scenic.Guest review byChrisUnited Kingdom - 10.0

Lovely friendly place. plenty of cafe/Bistro places to eat in or take away. Cathedral is a great place to explore. Don't agree with having to pay £8 to see the Magna Carta, this outprices most families. lovely walk down by the river.Guest review byLindaUnited Kingdom - 10.0
A surprising little gem!
A surprising little gem! The city is quite small but boasts a stunning cathedral and fascinating castle. People here are friendly and there are many independent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. You can walk along the river or hire a rowing boat. A lovely place to spend a full day.Guest review byRebecca - 10.0

Our visit to Durham was over a long weekend with each day being better than the previous one. We walked happily into town each day from our hotel after enjoying a wonderful full english breakfast cooked and served by Sarah. The town is full of shops bars and places to eat, in every pub we found ourselves being served by very friendly staff and strangers were happy to make us welcome amongst other people who were enjoying themselves together talking and drinking.Guest review bycharlesUnited Kingdom - 8.0

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.3Very Good - What previous guests thought, 69 reviewsGreat property on a lovely quiet estate within easy driving distance of Durham City Centre. Felt very welcome, Adam and Camilla are great hosts. I stayed in the "Deluxe King Studio" for 3 nights, it has its own large private bathroom and small kitchen unit with microwave, kettle, toaster and drinks fridge. Guests are also welcome to use the main family kitchen too, which is great. Bed was really comfy so got a great nights' sleep, no issues or complaints at all. Have already booked to come back.Guest review byJamesUnited Kingdom
- From $189.58 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.8Excellent - What previous guests thought, 2,191 reviewsRoom was spacious, clean & beds were superb. Had a great nights sleep after a long day. Breakfast was enough to carry us through the day. The location was quiet, but close enough to walk into the city centre - be aware Durham is built on 'hills', it is s steep 'hill' to the hotel from Durham centre - that is probably the case anywhere from the centre. Anna was a brilliant host, always cheerful & helpful - as were all the staff.Guest review byGrahamUnited Kingdom
- From $133.67 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.7Excellent - What previous guests thought, 932 reviewsVery friendly and helpful staff. Twin bed room relatively small in size. There is parking space available to the hotel which is a great advantage because Durham can be quite tedious in terms of parking in the city centre. Location very convenient.Guest review bypand251United Kingdom
