"Fabulous"

Just had a lovely two night stay at this hotel. Hadn’t stopped in a premier plus room before and was very impressed. Food was very good and the staff are lovely. Would like to make a special mention for Richard as he is a real credit to the hotel. Allison was very helpful too. Thank you guys x

"So-called Covid measures mean your room is not cleaned!"

I stayed for 3 nights at a cost of £212.50 without breakfast. First disappointment was late check in - 4pm, due to so-called Covid measures to allow rooms to be cleaned deeply. If only it had! The shower room tiles had scum at the bottom, not an attractive site. I was given an accessible room even though I'm able bodied and it meant the sink was far too low for me, and the shower flooded the bathroom. The double bed was two singles joined together so it was uncomfortable to spread out as I was travelling solo. The wifi was poor and to get access to decent wifi you have to pay extra, so the claim of inclusive wifi is a con. If it had been £40-50 a night I would have been happy, but not at over £70 per night. Due to Covid there was no room service, so the room wasn't cleaned, the bin wasn't emptied unless I left it outside the room (and one time even then it stayed there all day), tea and coffee were not topped up . There was no phone in the room to call reception and I couldn't be bothered queueing to speak to reception. This is what staying in these main hotel chains is like - a rip off.

"Unbearable "

Was told on Check in that the air con wasn't functioning correctly. Asked why they hadn't told us this prior to check in and was told that the hotel didn't have to provide air con (even though it states air conditioned on the website). Got to the room and it is absolutely unbearable, so we are having to look for a replacement for our 2nd night here. Not able to offer us a fan as apparently they are only allowed to buy a certain number at a time. Can only offer us pint glasses of ice.

"Extremely clean "

Good location in Durham and a short walk to historic centre and cathedral. Many highstreet eateries are within easy reach. Hotel does have a good restaurant onsite. Premier plus rooms are excellent value for money and spotlessly clean. Free tea and coffee making facilities with a nespresso machine, mini fridge with free bottles of water, free ultimate wi fi, subsidised parking a minutes walk away.

Hotel description

History, culture and entertainment come together at Premier Inn Hotel Durham City Centre (Walkergate) - less than half a mile from the World Heritage Centre by the River Wear. Business hot spots such as the University, Passport Office and North Durham Hospital are also close at hand. Get into Durham's spirit with a visit to its famous Cathedral. Or get under its skin at the city's Norman Castle, home to University College, Durham. With a packed events calendar year round - including the Great North Run, Miners' Gala and more - this makes a perfect central retreat, complete with comfy beds and a tasty Thyme restaurant on-site.
