The location is perfectly good because it is close to the Durham University Business School and I was visiting one friend there. Everything looks great!

Stayed for one night in Feb 2026. Comfortable room, nice facilities (love the tub), good location, and lovely luggage storage after check-out. Don’t miss their breakfast!

My stay at this Premier Inn was excellent! The service was friendly and attentive, making me feel welcomed throughout. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, with a comfortable room. Conveniently located near the train station and just a short distance from multiple bus stops with many routes. It is located right next to Millennium Square, which features a variety of restaurants!
Highly recommend this hotel for an enjoyable stay!

Walking distance to Durham Cathedral, turn left after exiting the cathedral and go up the steps where there are many bars. A supermarket is a 6-minute walk away, and the rooms are decent.

This is the newest and cleanest hotel I have stayed in during this trip. It is within a 10-minute walk from the train station and is in the old town of York, making it very convenient to go anywhere. The breakfast is not rich, but the basics are all there. It feels great to stay overnight!

The location is convenient, next to Durham Cathedral and the university, and the parking lot is next door. It is very convenient.

The hotel has a great location, just a few minutes' walk from the train station. It's well-maintained and cleaned promptly, and the breakfast is freshly made and tastes good.

The worst hotel I stayed in since I came to the UK. It was more like a bar and belonged to a chain hotel. The bed was very soft and the bedding was very average. The breakfast was English breakfast with very few varieties. The room was quite big, but there was a smell of cigarettes as soon as I entered the room. The WAFI signal of the hotel was very poor and the connection was very cumbersome. I also needed to fill in the phone number and email address. I barely connected but it kept disconnecting. In fact, I still used the mobile data. The only thing worth mentioning was that the service of the waiter was okay, which was a plus point. I probably won't come again next time

First I stayed in the same brand hotel in north Durham for 4 nights, and then I stayed in this hotel in the city center for 12 consecutive nights. The location is very convenient, very close to the city center square and the train station, and the scenery nearby is very good. , The room is clean and the front desk staff is friendly. It's just that the natural wind blows all the time in the room, and it seems that it can't be adjusted to warm air or turned off. However, the temperature was not bad in early October, and I will stay here again if I have the opportunity.

The room is generally OK, with double-layer windows, the inner layer of which can be opened. It met my ventilation requirements. The heating and ventilation are good, which is conducive to drying wet clothes. The breakfast offerings are English, but very cinematic: sophisticated and pleasing to the eye. The front desk clerks are warm, polite and very friendly. The service of this hotel is satisfactory. Good location.
