Top St. Nicholas Church Hotel Reviews

Radisson BLU Hotel Durham

10/10 Excellent

"A delightful hotel, very near the station and all of the attractions of Durham. Polite and attentive staff, and a lovely spa and gym. The room was spacious, clean, and luxurious, and we loved it. The only minor problem was that there weren’t a whole lot of hot vegetarian options at breakfast, but that’s really splitting hairs. A remarkable stay overall."

Farnley Tower Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel situated on a steep hill overlooking Durham. Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely rooms, reasonable price and a fantastic top draw indian restaurant within the hotel. Decent breakfast too."

Hotel Indigo Durham by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel and staff very helpful"

Hotel Bannatyne Durham

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean and spacious, very comfy bed, would definitely return"

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."

Premier Inn Durham City Centre - Walkergate

8/10 Good

"Generally, 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"

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"

Travelodge Durham

8/10 Good

"Overall: Very nicely clean! Lovely room, bathroom & view. A bit of a hike to get to the actual room itself, but a pleasant one. Facilities: USB ports worked well for charging. No microwave/fridge available in the room I chose, although I should've inquired about this I suppose. Was able to make instant oatmeal for breakfast using the water kettle & mugs provided. Nice tea/coffee options. Didn't try the "grab-and-go" breakfast—costs extra and doesn't seem super nutritious. Careful: Wifi also costs extra after the first 30 mins you use it per 24-hour period. This was frustrating. But it also wasn't very expensive to buy access (something like £3.50 extra per 24 hours). Friendly staff, but no one was at the reception desk initially. Make sure you have cell service if you need to call them—I didn't, but got lucky since some passersby let me use their phone to call reception. Not sure if pet-friendly. Don't use a car to visit Durham. Take the train!"

Toast Lettings | St Andrews Court - in the heart of Durham City Centre
