Stayed for one night with 2 daughters in a family room. Bright clean room with plenty of space. Sound environmental policy of not changing towels if staying for more than one night unless requested. Only provide soap and shower gel in handy dispensers instead of wasteful mini packets - need to remember to take own shampoo!

Spot on this hotel, right in the city centre, close to restaurants, cathedral, shops and theatre. Car parking good but watch your sat nav setting, finding the hotel and car park takes a bit of doing.Suggest you call the hotel for directions.

The hotel makes note of the fact that there can be noise from the adjacent bars - and indeed there is. Yes, there is insulation, but I cannot imagine really how the noise could be completely kept out. We stayed 4 nights - the Thursday night was quiet, but the other three were not. However we had brought earplugs with... More

Booked 3 rooms for 2 nights on the day of arrival but still a good price. Great location, close to the cathedral, 10 min walk from the train station, some restaurants (chiquitos, Slug & Lettuce etc) very close by but walk 2 minutes into the Market Place & you will find nice local owned restaurants & chip shops. Comfy rooms,... More

This hotel provided fairly standard budget accommodation, but the staff are exceptionally friendly making a stay very enjoyable. It is well situated for visiting the cathedral and other sights in Durham. I thought it was a little overpriced. All over the hotel are signs saying you can book a room at Premier Inns for £29. This is not very comforting... More

I stayed 3 nights in this hotel and everything was good there. During check-in I was warmly welcomed, got all necessary explanations about breakfast, payment, etc. Room was clean. Bed was surprisingly high, so that my feet could not reach floor when I sat on it. Quite a rare experience with my 190cm height! Hotel boasts that they will return... More

Premier Inns are a cheap option but provide all you need for a City break. Our room was large, with a comfortable kingsize bed, wardrobe, teamaking facilities, T.V. hairdryer and an en suite bathroom. The best thing about Durham central though, was the staff. They were polite, friendly and extremely helpful and really made our stay a great one. Breakfasts... More
