Top Durham Botanic Garden Hotel Reviews

52 Old Elvet

10/10 Excellent

"The only problem we had was our room was not cleaned when we had access at 3pm. There was some insistence on check in-time being 3pm with no wiggle room, which is fine, but then the room was filthy. Had to leave the apartment and wander around exhausted from travel and unable to check-in until after 4pm. To her credit Hannah, the building manager, tried to make it right with a partial refund. Otherwise the apartment was lovely and comfortable."

Delta Hotels Durham Royal County

8/10 Good

"Very old hotel and a little shabby in parts but still clean. Breakfast was good, hot and well cooked. Room was good size, we had family room with 2 doubles and it was clean, bathroom was big but why only 1 hook so nowhere to hang clothes etc What makes this hotel is the staff, friendly, helpful and professional. A little pricey for what we had but apparently Durham is expensive and the location is excellent. We would return"

"We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay in this beautiful boutique hotel. We booked the room overlooking the Cathedral which was stunning. The room was really large and immaculately designed. The gentleman who checked us in was so friendly and helpful. The walk was no more than 10 minutes to the centre. We were so impressed with this hotel and Durham we would definitely come back."

The Kingslodge Inn - The Inn Collection Group

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, ideally located for Durham centre & train station. Staff were helpful & welcoming. Room has been recently refurbished & everything was nice, clean & tidy. We ate in the hotel one night - it was nice but could have been a bit hotter. We went to Veera’s (Indian) the following night which was lovely & a 10 min walk away. Parked at hotel easily & breakfast included- very nice."

St Chads College

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay at a reasonable price for events in Durham and Newcastle. A short walk to the cathedral, castle and city centre. Student rooms are basic but clean."
