Top Durham Hotel Reviews

Copthorne Hotel Newcastle

8/10 Good

"Excellent value! Fabulous river view! Great discount on food for early evening! Rooms a little tired hence lower score but would definitely recommend"

Malmaison Newcastle

10/10 Excellent

"After decades of staying in Newcastle we have tried numerous hotels and we find ourselves always coming back here. The staff are always really nice and genuine, the rooms spotlessly clean, public areas comfortable, food/restaurant really good. Located on the quayside with access to cheap, secure parking is a bonus. I believe most if not all of the rooms have been refurbished and are really smart. Save yourself a lot of time and just book Mal- you won't be disappointed!"

Radisson BLU Hotel Durham

10/10 Excellent

"A very pleasant hotel, ideal for exploring Durham and Newcastle. Pros: helpful and friendly staff, a spacious and clean room, and a swimming pool. Unfortunately, there’s an extra charge for parking. From the outside, the building could be better maintained and cleaned (dirty window sills)."
