"Great affordable student accommodation. The space was exactly as advertised. The kitchen worked well, and i was able to prepare my own meals. Excellent wifi and plenty of outlets in the space. One of the best accommodations I've stayed in, and far better than even my own university housing."

Top Durham Hotel Reviews

Hotel Indigo Durham by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is an amazing conversion of the old county council offices, so it has character and style as well as the amenities you need. Wonderful food. And it's in the heart of the city with the Wear smoothly wandering by. Love it."

Malmaison Newcastle

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed at Malmaison Newcastle for a business trip and had a great experience. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet, making it easy to relax after a long day. The Quayside location is excellent, with plenty of places to eat and drink nearby. The breakfast was excellent, with a good choice of freshly cooked options alongside a buffet offering pastries, fresh fruit, granola and hot drinks. Friendly staff and a smooth check-in made for a hassle-free stay. Would happily stay again."

Delta Hotels Durham Royal County

10/10 Excellent

"I was here for a brief work stay; however, I found the location really well placed not only to get to my work event but also to have a quick trip into the historical parts of the city to eat and unwind. The staff were lovely and helpful, though a small downside (not the hotel's fault) is that the building is old and has some crazy numbering systems - the first time finding my room was an adventure!"

Copthorne Hotel Newcastle

10/10 Excellent

"Views were great, hotel was very clean, staff were lovely and very accommodating. Such a great selection for breakfast: hot food, cereals, fruit, selection of pastries, meat, cheese, breads and including gluten free options as well. Second time here in a few months and would absolutely recommend it"
