I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable but lacked heating in the bathroom, which was a bit inconvenient. The location was convenient for visiting Durham, but being on a busy roundabout made it a bit noisy. The service at the reception desk was friendly, but there were some hiccups with a false alarm that woke up my baby. Overall, a decent stay with some minor drawbacks.

I loved the location of the hotel, just outside Durham town centre and a short walk into the city. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but the lack of heating in the bathroom was a downside. The service at the reception desk was friendly and welcoming. The hotel is on a fairly steep hill, but it's worth the walk for the view and convenience.

The hotel is conveniently located just a ten-minute walk into the city centre of Durham, close to the main tourist areas.
