"Great location"
Great location and quite a new building, so it was in good condition. Our room was nice - perfect for us really. There was a kettle with some basic tea and coffee supplies. There were enough towels for us all and we had a bath and shower whichnwas great. There were a few things running a bit low in the bathroom, and the tops of the hand-wash and shampoo bottles etc, needed a bit of a clean. Some of the breakfast food wasn't to my taste, but there was a lot to choose from so it was absolutely fine. Staff we spoke to were all very nice too.
"Very relaxed and welcoming - great place to stay"
I highly recommend the Walker gate Premier Inn, the staff are friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble and they made our stay feel like a home from home, very relaxed and easy going. The food was great - all tasty with lots of choice at breakfast. The bar/dining area is very comfortable and cosy. The manager, Sarah, is lovely as we're all the staff we met Kim, Anthony & Colleen.
"Great location, fab breakfast"
A great location, everything you expect from a premier inn, parking is a multi storey right next door so does have a cost but you can get a voucher from the hotel reception to reduce the cost, breakfast is one of the best I’ve had at premier inn, I’d definitely stay here again
"Perfect location"
We booked a new premier plus room for a night away as a couple. Lovely room on the top floor. Air con, fridge with complimentary water, coffees machine and pods, luxury shower gels and hand wash, mini chocolates, ambient bedroom lighting. Just some of the extras that a normal room doesn’t have. Nice central location with a car park next door that is discounted when staying at this premier inn. Close to plenty of bars, restaurants, the university, passport office and a short walk into the main centre with the shops, castle and cathedral. Nice easy check in done on a machine on arrival. Very quiet surrounding area and when inside the hotel. When staying in Durham again we would certainly choose here and recommend to others.
"One night in Durham"
We have stayed at many a Premier Inn, which provides a high standard of accommodation at a reasonable price. It was therefore the choice for our first visit to Durham. it provided us with the usual high standard Premier Inn amenities together with exemplary customer service provided by Alison and Collen. The hotel is very accessible to Durham Cathedral and the town centre.

Hotel description

Thanks to our city centre location next to the Pennyferry Bridge over the River Wear, Durham’s best attractions are within walking distance of our central Durham Premier Inn. There’s plenty to explore throughout your stay – Durham Castle and Durham Cathedral share UNESCO World Heritage Site status, and these historic landmarks are unmissable on Durham city breaks. Cross Milburngate Bridge from our Premier Inn Durham hotel and visit Crook Hall Gardens before taking the kids to Adventure Valley, or why not tour the popular Oriental Museum? Fuel up before sightseeing in Durham at our restaurant, where we’ll also be serving up some delicious dishes in the evening too! Best of all, you’ll have a stylish room with free Wi-Fi and a super-comfy bed waiting for you after fun days out in Durham.
