Top Oriental Museum Hotel Reviews

Delta Hotels Durham Royal County

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful curated room and furniture. Location is perfect for exploring the city and location by the river is picturesque, although the near by main does overshadow the tranquility."

Farnley Tower Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff and great breakfast options."

The Kingslodge Inn - The Inn Collection Group

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in a really nice setting in the city but also quiet and secluded. Rooms was clean and of a good size, bed was comfortable and staff could not be faulted - attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. For us the bathroom was a disappointment it was not well designed or laid out and was not a "£180/night" bathroom. The shower cubicle was small, the shower cartridge unit was not secured well and no shelf anywhere in the room making it difficult ot put travel bag and tooth brush etc down - the bathroom itself was huge but seemed to have no thought to its design whatsoever. Away from the room and having a need to use the disabled toilet it is so often the case but always is disappointing to have these used as a store room with no thought to the user especially one with limited mobility, there is no way the hand rail could be moved without moving a variety of bins."

Premier Inn Durham City Centre - Walkergate

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and well appointed for a one nights stay. We paid for breakfast at the hotel the next morning and it was convenient. Only issue at breakfast was coffee machine was being cleaned and took about 15-20 minutes and we were finished eating but had our coffee after."

52 Old Elvet

10/10 Excellent

"The only problem we had was our room was not cleaned when we had access at 3pm. There was some insistence on check in-time being 3pm with no wiggle room, which is fine, but then the room was filthy. Had to leave the apartment and wander around exhausted from travel and unable to check-in until after 4pm. To her credit Hannah, the building manager, tried to make it right with a partial refund. Otherwise the apartment was lovely and comfortable."

Hotel Indigo Durham by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location in an interesting historical property. Excellent restaurant."

40 Winks

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay in this beautiful boutique hotel. We booked the room overlooking the Cathedral which was stunning. The room was really large and immaculately designed. The gentleman who checked us in was so friendly and helpful. The walk was no more than 10 minutes to the centre. We were so impressed with this hotel and Durham we would definitely come back."

Toast Lettings | Kirkwood Drive - perfect for people visiting/ working in Durham

10/10 Excellent

"This is a gem of a find, the house is just outside Durham. The 5 bedrooms are spacious and living and kitchen was well arranged. There are lovely touches that make it like home with decent linens and towels, soaps and toilet paper ! All that with plenty of parking. Could not fault it and would happily book it again."

8/10 Good

"Very comfortable,and clean. Very comfortable beds and lovely bathrooms. very quiet area.The house was warm- except the kitchen which was very cold and we were unable to warm it up. Would recommend house - easy parking and near town so easy to walk to the centre and the cathedral - 10 mins. Nice stay."
