Did the trick

Did the job for the reasonable price tag, bed was clean and comfortable and Durham centre a nice walk away from the property. We would consider staying again if on a budget.

Room was a good size. Close to a Sainsburys Local and a bus stop. About 30 mins walk to train station. Pub downstairs was a wee bit noisy. Doesnt serve breakfast but you can go to Wetherspoons in the town. Nice enough for a short stay.Outside needs renovating.

If you value your sleep

Room ok bed comfortable staff friendly enough. Main problem was the music in the pub downstairs reverberating until half past midnight followed by the revellers leaving until one o’clock

Good room for the price.

The room was quite small but everything we required was there. Nice and warm and quiet. The bonus was that they have a shared kitchen with a fridge, sink and crockery/cutlery. The staff were really friendly. Plenty of car parking beside the rooms,
