Hotel Indigo Durham by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was lovely and great that they have saved a beautiful old building."

Durham Retreat 15 minutes walk from Durham City center.

8/10 Good

"The house has been renovated and furnished for short-term stays. It's in good condition, with a well-equipped kitchen, parking, a nice garden with seating, and a responsive host. I made an error about the washing machine. The host states that the house comes with one, which is true. My mistake was assuming that it was a washer-dryer combination, which I always had at similar places, but it wasn't. There's a drying rack. Anyone coming from Canada also should note that it's a small washer and takes much longer to do a load compared to home. The bath, sinks, and kitchen counters were clean, and I assume the floors were swept and vacuumed. However, the floors need to be cleaned with more vigour (bring slippers). The promo material for the site is confusing. There's a photo of a coffee shop that might lead you to think the house is in a central location and blurbs that say it's a 15 minute walk from the centre of Durham (or even from the cathedral). It's not. It's in a suburb, and it took me 45 minutes to walk to the cathedral. Thinking I did something wrong, I checked various websites about directions. They said it would take around 30-45 minutes to walk. There is a good bus though that gets you to the centre in about 10 minutes. Don't drive to the centre because of limited parking and restricted driving zones.) There isn't much within comfortable walking distance of the house aside from a decent mini-supermarket about 10 minutes away and a grim convenience store a block away."

OYO La Spada Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room spacious and bed was a bit hard. Otherwise I was happy with my stay. There is car park at the back. Good bus service into Durham bus station. Small shops nearby. Did have a slight problem when I arrived after 3pm as it was closed. Rang the property and was asked to go at back . All was well."
