Stay spoilt by noisy occupants in room next door.

We did not really enjoy our stay, our room was small and poly and tired looking. Bathroom was clearly new and very nice. Unfortunately we had a very noisy family in the room next door which spoilt our one night stay . On the positive side , food very good and staff excellent.

Property is in a tranquil location and has a lovely lounge but generally in need of a bit of TLC. Room, 103, was quite small with little space to put our luggage but clean and tidy. Shower cubicle so small it’s comical and we’re not big people. Problem with screeching water pipes kept us up at night, reception informed us that they knew and plumber fixing on Monday. Breakfast OK. Staff all welcoming.

I just stayed with my 16yr old daughter overnight for the uni Open Day. It was a nice hotel in an old building with a well kept garden. Room was comfy and clean with nice features like a window seat, newly decorated bathroom. It had a lovely sash window but peeling paintwork on the outside window sill made it look more shabby than it needed to. A few things in service could be better to be 4 star. We arrived late evening 9.30pm and had said what train we’d be on. Reception was empty when we arrived with a notice to ring a mobile number if you needed anything. We rang it and the phone was at the desk. Check in was fine and we were told where breakfast was but nothing else. Eg that the lounge had drinks etc. Breakfast was very good and the staff were lovely but no-one there for a while to check you in but clear you had to as there was a list as you came in. It took a while to come and take our order for hot breakfast including coffee. So there were just a few little touches that I would’ve expected if it’s going to call itself ‘luxury’ 4 star. But we still had a very comfy stay and would stag again.

Gorgeous olde worlde modern hotel

It’s a lovely hotel and very convenient stop. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We only had breakfast but it was delicious and plenty of it. The decor was lovely but needed a bit of tidying and the vase on the table needed a clean. I’m not keen on fake flowers which gather dust and the winter sun shows the glass vase needing a polish. I’m being picky hoping I’m being helpful. It was a fab stay and I thoroughly recommend it and would stay again.

It could have been so good!

we have been staying at 61 durham for a few years now as our son studies in Durham. We have always enjoyed the hotel and have been coming back on a regular basis. There is a big difference between the rooms on the first and second floor in terms of size and comfort. we always booked a standard room so have no idea how to specify for a larger room if possible. Breakfast was always a highlight of the stay with an excellent menu in a nice room. This time we were very disappointed when the breakfast menu was replaced by a few baked beans, sausages and dried up fried egges to help yourself to on a buffet. When I asked why this was I was told the hotel had been busy so the kitchen could not cope... I felt this was not a good excuse and left very disappointed.

Really bad attitude at breakfast very abrupt. This is not what you expect from a hotel !!!!! The bedroom was very cold, there is a positive the water was hot

Excellent breakfast & comfy bed but not clean

Room was true to it's name - the cosy room. No wardrobe although hangers are suspended from a bar for you to hang clothes. No iron & ironboard provided, no tissue box. The bed was very comfy so I had a good sleep. Breakfast was excellent, everything tasted so good. The grounds & interior of the hotel are stunning. The only real downside was the sub-par cleanliness in my room - cobwebs on inside of window, TV remote covered in dust, dust filling the bottom edge of the mirror, hole in hand towel.
