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.

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.

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

Nice clean place, close to city, good value

Check in was nice and easy and staff were helpful. The room was clean and we were provided with everything we could have needed towels/toiletries/tea/coffee. It was close by to the city (though be prepared for very steep hills if walking) and there was parking onsite. Some of the patrons of the pub were loud until around 1am, but given it was the weekend we can’t really complain. Overall a good stay and well worth it for the price.
