The Durham Royal County is very centrally located. The rooms are comfortable and well-appointed with lovely bathrooms. The staff were efficient and friendly. Good buffet breakfast although the coffee from a machine was not great. The reception area, bar and dining room, despite being in a historic building are corporate and bland. I would recommend for the location and the rooms.

Mediocre and over priced

The hotel itself was clean, the staff were great and the bed was comfortable however our room was very dated, small and the bath was incredibly creaky. The quality of the breakfast was alright but it was Luke warm at best which let it down. Overall it was fine but you can get better at a lot cheaper rates.

Has the potential to be much more, parts are very tired and our room was quite noisy. On check in the young male receptionist was brilliant and went above and beyond, his female counterpart was, in complete contrast, surly and rude. Breakfast was disappointing.

Expedia website was not upfront about the £11 per night parking charge. The hotel was a bit of a maze to get to room(lift, corridor, ramp, stairs, corridor). Typically soulless corporate hotel.
