This hotel is very near the centre of Durham and ideally situated to walk everywhere, even for my husband who does not usually walk far. We were able to park just outside the door which at £11 per 24 hours in the middle of a busy city is very acceptable. The room was comfortable and included everything we might need. The staff are friendly and very helpful. I left some things in a drawer by mistake and they kindly posted them on to me within 2 days, at their expense. We highly recommend this hotel.

Very good location and great hassle free check in.
However, there was mould in the bathroom unfortunately and the room was a little dated.
There was dust quite a lot around the lamps and desk.
Apart from that, nice staff, helpful and a quiet area. Just a shame about the mold!

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.

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.

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.

Very nicely stylishly furnished property. Wild garden. Comfortable beds. Quiet, pleasant location. Very convenient for amenities such as shops, pub, take-aways and small supermarket and vet all nearby. Beautiful woodland walk (Aykley Woods) a few minutes away with amazing views of Durham Cathedral. 30 mins drive to wonderful beaches. Good bus connections or you can walk into Durham City Centre in about 25 mins. We had a few family members over to celebrate my granddaughter's 18th birthday. Handy for Durham University. Very dog friendly.
I love this hotel and have stayed here many times whilst visiting my student son at Durham University. The rooms are great - filled with university memorabilia - each one is totally different. They are also very clean. Breakfast is excellent with very wide choice from a buffet or ordered from the kitchen. The round bar is fun to sit in. All staff are very friendly and carry out their jobs with good attention to detail. This is a proper hotel which knows how to look after its guests and has well trained staff.
We enjoyed an amazing stay at the Marriott Hotel in Durham. The hotel is worthy of its high reputation, and we could not fault anything during our stay. The weekday staff were most welcoming, and housekeeping staff very obliging. Having a bar fridge in the bedroom was extremely helpful, and we were fortunate in having a marvelous view over the river. The location was exceptional, being a short walk from the centre of the town and the Cathedral. Thankyou.
Tradional hotel 10 minutes from the train station 10 minutes from the city centre located at top of a hill with great views of the city with outside garden for my dog.
After lots of research, the only decent dog friendly hotel in Durham City.
Stayed for two nights was in the area to get a new passport which is also only 15 minutes from the hotel to durham passport office.
Great value, food & drink were good prices, the atmosphere was great. Richie the manager was so welcoming & a big thank you to Claire who looked after us all weekend, nothing was too much trouble for her, really friendly, king room was great, close to Durham city centre. The singer on Saturday night was so good. Can't wait to go back.
Great small cottage - ideal location to explore Durham . Also within 20 mile of some nice quiet beaches for walks . I can also suggest local picnic area, with old railway tracks lovely place to chill less than 5 minutes away . Host was helpful and recommended local venues to eat . Great pub over the road .
Beautiful location to meet family and friends, massive hotel, like a maze.
Lots of facilities and grounds to walk round with the dog.
Room and large bed very clean and attention to detail all professionally finished.
