Top Durham Botanic Garden Hotel Reviews

Hotel Indigo Durham by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel within walking distance of the city’s landmarks. Hotel staff were really friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and clean. Building was previously a Victorian County Hall and had been converted into a hotel to retain many of the outstanding features. Restaurant provided a wide selection of dishes, which were well presented and delicious. Will definitely return for future visits to Durham."

Delta Hotels Durham Royal County

10/10 Excellent

"Great, central location in Durham yet away from the noisy centre. Professional staff and standards (albeit a bit boring) you'd expect from a reliable hotel."

Radisson BLU Hotel Durham

10/10 Excellent

"Parking was safe and secure, staff were incredibly helpful and the hotel was really good, clean and close to local amenities"

The Queens Head

8/10 Good

"Enjoyable stay, long walk from town centre"

Farnley Tower Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly manager very helpful and attentive Quality breakfast in comfortable dining area. Great value for money short walk into town or cheap Uber. Nice old fashioned guest house. Thank you. Recommend"

Ramside Hall Hotel, Golf and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"For what must be an older hotel, the amenities are excellent, modern and well kept, swimming pool is massive with a jacuzzi hot tub, didn’t use the spa but looks amazing, bedroom was lovely, a nice size overlooking the garden area, nice and quiet, didn’t use golf course but ‘The Pin’ is a great place to visit ( in hotel grounds) sports bar, bowling, driving range, shuttle board and lots more, friendly helpful staff, will definitely be back!"

The Kingslodge Inn - The Inn Collection Group

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived early and staff were helpful in explaining how walk into Durham. The hotel was nice and had a good sized car park, all was clean and tidy, we had a nice quiet room at the back. There was a good selection of beers at the bar. Because of the hot weather we weren't too hungry in the evening but chose a selection of small plates after a dish of mussels for me and a prawn cocktail for my wife. The mussels were the only disappointment of the stay, they were tiny and I had several empty shells with no spare mussels in the bottom!!! We both enjoyed a good breakfast the following morning, which was freshly made from a good choice on the menu. All in all a very pleasant stay and a place I would happily visit again. For dog owners, you can take your dog but not into the restaurant section."

Chapel Heights in Durham

10/10 Excellent

"Communication with staff was not great prior to check in but once on site they were great. Fire alarms are pretty sensitive and went off twice during my stay but staff responded quickly to those. It is obvious that this accommodation is intended for students with a longer stay than just a week. Towels were provided and crockery but no cutlery at all, luckily I had a travel set with me so I was okay but some may find that an issue. Over all it worked great for me and it is a short walk into Durham whichI loved. I'd book again."

52 Old Elvet

8/10 Good

"Good location within walking distance to the shops etc Parking at the rear Excellent communication from the host Flat very clean"
