"Excellent hotel, would recommend it."
The location was excellent, half way between the station and the city centre. The room was spacious and clean, and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The selection of food available at breakfast was also very good and everything was fresh.

"Get away"
Location was perfect,nice clean room and breakfast was good, not a choice on tea tray and no biscuits so take your own munchies also drinks very expensive
"Centrally located, great welcoming staff!"
What a fabulous Premier Inn! Centrally located, car parked for 3 days and with the voucher cost £24 - not bad for a city car park - and it was safe! Chris, the duty manager, was wonderfully welcoming and on finding out it was our wedding anniversary, sent up a little gift! Breakfasts were superb and kept topped up. All staff were friendly and helpful. Our room 408 was spotless. Thank you - you contributed to a great city break.
"Great stay"
Chris was friendly and helpful! We enjoyed our stay. Clean and quiet. Great bar and brilliant breakfast. Good location.

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.
