    The place was spotless with an accommodating staff. The staff was willing to help and the breakfast was gorgeous. The room was unique and neat and had a lovely view. The location in a very quiet residential area was good and there were a market and stores nearby.

    Central location, not too far from The Journey. Also - just off the city centre as well as the Indian restaurant. Exceptional stuff and sensational breakfast with lots of options.

    Location: the hotel was near to garden, holi restaurant and Durham. I tried some drinks at bar Bridge Venue Restaurant, located 5 minutes walk away. My hotel room was tidy and tastefully decorated with a huge window overlooking the garden. The breakfast was very good with great food, and the food was good.

    Fantastic view of the cathedral from my room.

    The bathroom had an overly clinical feel.

    lack of pastries

    I really enjoyed my stay, especially the power shower and the cozy room with a fine view of the cathedral. Breakfast was fantastic despite a lack of pastries on the second day. I would definitely choose this place again!
