This hotel is closed

This hotel is closed and has been for several weeks.

8/10 Very good

Good location

Great location, lovely staff and breakfast included, shower only rooms though and a bit tired in decor - wallpaper coming off, ceiling stains and no toiletries, only one towel for two people too.

2/10 Poor

Left out on the street!

My wife has stayed here in the past and liked it, however, this place is currently closed and up for sale (Sep 2025). We arrived on a friday night after making a booking a couple of months prior. The doors were locked, curtains all drawn and no lights on. No response when ringing bell or knocking. On calling the 'hotel contact number' we were connected to a foreign call centre who were of little help, and Hotels.com are refusing to refund our payment because they cant get approval from a manager... He's legged it!

8/10 Very good

Lovely if slightly quirky property with friendly staff in a great location Missing a few of the amenities you might be used to in a major mainstream hotel chain but made up for with welcoming and helpful staff

Shaun, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Warm welcome and wacky decoration at beautiful townhouse, well situated for university. Inflated prices due to open day not entirely justified - no towels or hand soap in bathroom, limited breakfast choice (only full English, only white toast)

Quirky, friendly small hotel handily placed for access to Durham city, without parking problems - street parking available across the road. We were lucky to be upgraded to the Penthouse, an amazing room. Huge comfortable bed, fantastic bathroom. Breakfast was delicious too. Thank you for the welcome and service during our overnight stay.
