6/10 Good

Room was a good size. Close to a Sainsburys Local and a bus stop. About 30 mins walk to train station. Pub downstairs was a wee bit noisy. Doesnt serve breakfast but you can go to Wetherspoons in the town. Nice enough for a short stay.Outside needs renovating.

Lovely staff, hotel room was lovely pay for what you get, shared bathroom was dirty, people being sick and faeces and urine left in the toilet. Other than that had a pleasant stay.

Did the trick

Did the job for the reasonable price tag, bed was clean and comfortable and Durham centre a nice walk away from the property. We would consider staying again if on a budget.

If you value your sleep

Room ok bed comfortable staff friendly enough. Main problem was the music in the pub downstairs reverberating until half past midnight followed by the revellers leaving until one o’clock

The Pub was ideal for my needs as I was staying for a couple of nights to attend a Football match.It was a decent base for a drink at the end of each day after exploring Durham in the evenings.
