I had a great stay at this hotel in Durham. The location is superb, right in the city center, allowing easy access to shops and entertainment. The rooms were warm and had a couch that could be turned into a bed, which was useful for my family. Although the standards might have dropped over the years, the clean and comfy room made up for it. The only downside was the poor mattress in the family room that affected my children's sleep.

The hotel is ideally situated in Durham City Centre, making it perfect for visiting my daughter and enjoying the town's nightlife. The rooms meet the high standards of the chain, although the new pillows weren't as impressive as expected. The proximity to the lift led to some noise disturbances throughout the night, impacting the sleep quality. The staff, especially Robbie, Paul, and the unnamed young girl at the restaurant and bar, were incredibly kind and went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay.

The hotel's location is perfect, right in the city center, making it easy for us to relax or explore. The rooms, though spacious and comfortable, had minor disturbances with early morning delivery noise and breakfast changes. The service, especially from Robbie, Paul, and the other staff, was exceptional, going above and beyond. The dining experience had some delays in buffet replenishment but offered a variety of options. Overall, a convenient stay with friendly staff and a few minor inconveniences.

The hotel is ideally situated in the heart of Durham, offering a convenient base to explore the city. The rooms are in need of an update but come with modern amenities like a large LCD TV and free Wi-Fi. The service provided by the staff was excellent, maintaining a high standard throughout my stay. The location couldn't be better, right in the center and perched on a hill overlooking Durham. The dining experience was enjoyable, although some dishes fell short of expectations. The facilities were satisfactory, offering everything needed for a comfortable stay.

My stay at the Premier Inn was overall enjoyable. The rooms were clean and comfortable, meeting the high standards expected from this chain. However, I found the new pillows to be less impressive than advertised. The service was excellent, with staff working late and during meal times to ensure a pleasant experience. The location was ideal for exploring Durham and the city's attractions, although some areas seemed neglected. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with outstanding value but some disappointments. The facilities were good, with no major issues.

The hotel is situated right in the center, making it convenient to access by walking with luggage from the train station. The rooms, although pleasant, tended to become too warm during the night, affecting our sleep quality. The service from the staff was polite and welcoming. Despite some dropped standards over the past few years, the location is still great with plenty of eateries and attractions nearby.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were equipped with a couch that could transform into a bed, which was great for families of students. However, the room temperature was uncomfortably warm, despite efforts to cool it down. On the positive side, the rooms were always quiet, the bed was comfortable, and the overall feeling of safety was reassuring, especially for solo travelers.
