Unfortunately we couldn’t stay as my mum was rushed into hospital the afternoon we were supposed to be going. The hotel were unhelpful, stating that it was booking.com who had to sort it out and booking.com wouldn’t do anything to refund or change the booking so having spent the night in a chair in A & E with my very ill mother who has advanced Parkinson’s, instead of in the hotel we then found out we had lost the couple of hundred pounds we’d paid for the room as well with no ability to transfer. We appreciate it’s hard for a business with a late cancellation but the hotel and booking.com couldn’t have cared less. I would not recommend this company - no humanity applied.

Very clean and spacious - rooms were stunning and extremely clean. No fault at all with the room. Lots of sockets for your phones etc and even had a USB option, which is great.
I also left a personal belonging in my room when I left and the staff were extremely helpful and quick in resolving this issue by looking for it, keeping me Informed and returning it.
Maybe could have some biscuits with the coffee amenities.

Durham could definitely be one of those towns that appear in fairy tales and stories of kings and knights. Lying on a hilled peninsula formed by the Wear River, the striking cathedral overlooks from the hilltop, surrounded by the castle, palaces and historic buildings. Get transported back in time by the magic of this English jewel, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Though archaeological evidence suggests the area has been inhabited since 2000 BC, the present-day settlement was founded by monks from Lindisfarne in 995, choosing the area as the final resting place of Saint Cuthbert. Symeon of Durham stated once that ‘to see Durham is to see the English Zion, and by doing so one may save oneself a trip to Jerusalem’. Hotels and B&Bs in Durham’s historic centre are a popular choice to enjoy this historic legacy.
Its powerful religious position granted such great honour to the city, that the bishop still holds the rights to a seat in the House of Lords, and to accompany the sovereign at the coronation. During the 19th century and encompassing the industrial revolution, the university was founded, with Durham Castle becoming its first college.
Whether you’re searching for a cottage, a modern hotel, or a cheap hostel, Booking.com offers a wide range of accommodation in the area.

A wonderful city of charm, beuaty and history. Great for real ale pubs, don't miss Vennels Cafe or the Cellar Door restaurant, and many other small independent shops, restaurants, pubs and other traders.

Very nice town. Fun market.
Very nice town. Fun market. Amazing cathedral; quite different from most. River Wear walk and Wharton Park are terrific for strolling and picnics. Durham Dales for longer rambles. Worth coming for several days!

Durham offers something for everyone.
Durham offers something for everyone. Even more for those who wish to explore the historic castle and Cathedral and surrounding streets. The city offers a comprehensive range of food and restaurants. It is accessible by road and rail.
If you find steep streets challenging there are still plenty of places to pause and browse or rest and eat or drink.
It is a beautiful city to visit.

A lot of pubs where the students go were scruffy and uninviting ( ripped furniture etc). Loved the areas around the cathedral, castle, town square and the river. Tour of castle was limited to 4 areas due to students living in the castle which we were not informed about when we purchased tickets. Thought it was a total waste of time going.
Some nice places to eat such as the Spice Lounge just off the square,Turkish kitchen near the cathedral and the Boat Club near the river.

Durham is a great place for a short break.
Durham is a great place for a short break. Plenty to do and see. The Cathedral and Castle were amazing. The walk along the river was lovely, especially when the sun came out!
Lots of places to eat. Would highly recommend.

I loved Durham. I did a tour of the Cathedral and Castle.
I loved Durham. I did a tour of the Cathedral and Castle. I felt very safe being on my own and people I did speak to were very chatty.
It was very peaceful walking along the river.
There did seem to be an awful lot of Church's,
I attended the Easter Service at the Cathedral, it was lovely. The choir had 30 children and 11 adults in it. The volunteers were very good.
I would like to come again soon.
I stayed at the Kingslodge Inn, and ate there and at an Indian Restaurant Alishan. The food was delicious.
Very nicely stylishly furnished property. Wild garden. Comfortable beds. Quiet, pleasant location. Very convenient for amenities such as shops, pub, take-aways and small supermarket and vet all nearby. Beautiful woodland walk (Aykley Woods) a few minutes away with amazing views of Durham Cathedral. 30 mins drive to wonderful beaches. Good bus connections or you can walk into Durham City Centre in about 25 mins. We had a few family members over to celebrate my granddaughter's 18th birthday. Handy for Durham University. Very dog friendly.
Our host was attentive and thoughtful, the house was clean and very comfy with great heating and lots of hot water - very easy to park outside and just 10 mins to Durham. Great value for 4 people and we were easily able to go to Durham for the morning and afternoon, pop back to relax for an hour or so then head back to the city as the apartment was so close to the city centre - bigger than a hotel room would have been for a family of 4 and really quite perfect for us.
I’ve stayed here before and I will stay here again. It’s exactly what you would expect of a Radisson. Beds are comfy, rooms are spacious, hotel is clean and the employees are friendly (except for one cranky guy in the dining room, but I think he was just having a bad day). And the food is good. Plus the location is great! Along the River and everything is easily accessible within walking distance.
A great all round place with a sense of luxury. The hotel had a restaurant attached which was particularly convenient on a Sunday night . The restaurant had authentic Indian cuisine which was tasty and not too difficult for those of us who find ery spicey foods difficult. Breakfast was good . Staff very helpful with suggestions of how to best travel back and forth to the old centre of Durham.
Location is convenient for Durham City. The house has easy off-road parking.
As we travelled to and fro on foot, we can't comment on the bus service, or car parking in the city centre. If you're planning to walk, you should be aware that it's about 1.5 miles to the city centre - and Durham being what it is, it's not a flat walk.
Had a fabulous stay at Hotel Indigo. Such a beautiful old hotel with lots of character. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. Breakfast was lovely and a good selection. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Durham and we will definitely be booking again
We booked the hotel for its proximity to Durham University and we were not disappointed. Within minutes, we were on the Bailey. Due to the university event, breakfast was full of parent + young person pairs and there was plenty of food and beverages. The staff was very friendly. I'll certainly be back.
Just the nicest people you ever want to deal with. They really went out of theway to make sure we had parking, stored our luggage past check out and were incredibly helpful. ...and the location makes the place th best place in Durham. 4 to 5 minute walk into the old city. Wonderfual.
The location was perfect, within easy walking distance of Durham City centre. The staff were friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome from our arrival.
The room was lovely and breakfast was fantastic. Thanks so much for a lovely stay, we'll definitely be back in future.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Twin bed room relatively small in size. There is parking space available to the hotel which is a great advantage because Durham can be quite tedious in terms of parking in the city centre. Location very convenient.
Huge, beautiful castle-like hotel. The room was perfect, spacious, stylish, quiet, comfortable and with a great toilet. Also it was very close to the main attractions of the city. I totally recommend it.
A very comfortable single room, and a lovely breakfast. Very convenient location for Durham city centre, but also the surrounding countryside. Would certainly stay here again.
