"Excellent"

Friendly staff who recognised us when we were there a second night.. Good location.Although no carpark it was next to a very handy 24hr carpark - do use level 1 though! Clean throughout the hotel. Second visit to a Premier Inn which has so far proved to be a good place to stay. Very happy to stay again.

"You know what you get with Premier Inns"

We stayed for one night at the Premier Inn during a visit to the North east. The great thing about Premier Inns is that you know what you will get at every hotel. Comfortable rooms, a good shower, Wifi and a good breakfast. The staff were all very helpful. We stayed after "Freedom Day" and were happy to comply with the COVID restrictions but notice quite a few didn't wear masks in areas they should have. All in all a good Premier Inn.

"Durham Weekend"

Loved Durham for a weekend away . Very disappointed with the bed -couldn’t move without the bed frame making creaking noises kept us awake . We also had quite a lot of noise from local bars which didn’t help either.

"Central for Durham with Prem Plus rooms too"

Breaking up our journey to Edinburgh we decided to stop off in Durham. The Premier Inn Walkergate is ideally situated for walking around the city. Within 10 mins you can be in the centre of town or in the gardens of the Cathedral. Parking is next door and a discounted day rate can be obtained from the Reception. We chose to book one of the new Premier Plus rooms which are situated in the 4th floor which are a little larger, plusher and come with complimentary Wi-fi and luxury toiletries, rain shower and mood lighting. Unfortunately our room was only preferred for 1 occupant and the luxury toiletries were all empty aside from the hair conditioner. That said the room was comfortable and very quiet, which was great given the proximity of the hotel to Ask, Slug & Lettuce, Nando’s, The Champagne Bar and others. The staff were excellent, friendly and polite. Would recommend this hotel if visiting Durham or dropping family off at Uni. As at Jul-21 there were roadworks at a local bridge (closed) and a new camera enforced Bus Route so be careful if following Sat Nav instructions

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.
