Top Durham University Hotel Reviews

Delta Hotels Durham Royal County

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome Spot. Air conditioning!"

Travelodge Durham

8/10 Good

"Overall: Very nicely clean! Lovely room, bathroom & view. A bit of a hike to get to the actual room itself, but a pleasant one. Facilities: USB ports worked well for charging. No microwave/fridge available in the room I chose, although I should've inquired about this I suppose. Was able to make instant oatmeal for breakfast using the water kettle & mugs provided. Nice tea/coffee options. Didn't try the "grab-and-go" breakfast—costs extra and doesn't seem super nutritious. Careful: Wifi also costs extra after the first 30 mins you use it per 24-hour period. This was frustrating. But it also wasn't very expensive to buy access (something like £3.50 extra per 24 hours). Friendly staff, but no one was at the reception desk initially. Make sure you have cell service if you need to call them—I didn't, but got lucky since some passersby let me use their phone to call reception. Not sure if pet-friendly. Don't use a car to visit Durham. Take the train!"

Castle View Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"This was a beautiful guest house in Durham, within easy walking distance of the Cathedral, and with easy access to multiple restaurants. It was clean and quiet, with large rooms deliberately decorated in a country style, but still with modern amenities like adequate plugs for charging (except in the bathroom: I couldn't plug in my water pick). The breakfast was cooked to order and delicious. The staff were available and friendly. The only downside would be for those with limited mobility. It's on a steep hill, and parking is only on available the street."
