Sep 27, 2026Room was clean and well appointed for a one nights stay. We paid for breakfast at the hotel the next morning and it was convenient.
Only issue at breakfast was coffee machine was being cleaned and took about 15-20 minutes and we were finished eating but had our coffee after.

Jul 3, 2026Great hotel! Super friendly helpful staff. Clean rooms. Super comfy bed, one of the best I've had in Europe. The AC was wonderful. It is walkable to old town and Crooks Garden, the Cathedral and the River Walk, right by everything. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.

Jan 1, 2026Strict check in time of 3 pm when kiosk opens - then it wouldn’t accept overseas postcode so staff had to check me in anyway.
Spacious comfortable room. Enjoyable breakfast buffet - added at extra cost when booking. Convenient location just a short walk to Durham Old Town - Castle and Cathedral.

Sep 27, 2025Thank you, Premiere Inn, our overnight stay was perfect and easily could stay longer, to accommodate our family of 4. It was clean, the staff were friendly, resourceful and accommodating. If you have lots of luggage, it is better to catch a cab from the rail station. Only £5-€12 because it's close but hilly.
The breakfast was delicious and good value. Durham is beautiful and charming with so much character.

Angela
Jun 25, 2026Enjoyed my stay at this Premier Inn. Staff were all super friendly and helpful.
Only thing I wondered about was a lingering smell of stale cigarette smoke, or something, in the hallway outside my room on the fourth floor. I did not mention it to the staff so my bad! Anyway, I would definitely stay here again regardless.

Jul 15, 2026Well, it's Premier inn. You know what you're getting. It's not luxury, but also it's not run down. Cleaning and bed top notch. Works for a one-nighter.

Margaret
Aug 1, 2026Generally, we had an excellent stay. I recommend if you're staying in Durham. However, two notes.
1) if you want your room cleaned, make sure the staff follow through.
2) they say "kids eat free all day," but that's only off the kids menu

May 26, 2026There was no internet in the entire hotel & no idea when it was going to be repaired.
The rooms do not have safes. No washcloths either. Bathroom needs some deeper cleaning but nice shower.
