I had a wonderful time staying at this hotel! The rooms were clean and comfy, with excellent bedrooms and an equally huge bathroom. The service was top-notch, with very friendly staff who made a real effort to provide great service. The location was ideal, right in the center of town and perfectly situated for exploring the city. However, the dining experience could be improved, as the food was not up to standard. Overall, a great stay with some minor areas for improvement.

The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Durham, very close to the city center and with easy access to the river and cathedral. The rooms offer a genuine Durham feel, with nice amenities and comfortable seating, although an extra bed may be a bit cramped. The service provided was exceptional, with staff going out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay. However, the dining experience had its drawbacks, especially with the unacceptable bacon served on ordinary toast. Overall, a conveniently located hotel with some room for improvement in the dining aspect.
