If you value your sleep

Room ok bed comfortable staff friendly enough. Main problem was the music in the pub downstairs reverberating until half past midnight followed by the revellers leaving until one o’clock

Did the trick

Did the job for the reasonable price tag, bed was clean and comfortable and Durham centre a nice walk away from the property. We would consider staying again if on a budget.

Stay in Queens Head, Gilesgate

This was a fine hotel to stay in for a couple days, and the people working there were friendly and helpful. Shared bathroom was clean enough for the most part, as was the little kitchen used. Towels, coffee, tea, and TV were in the room, which was nice, and the bed was comfortable. It's not a fancy hotel, but works for solo traveller looking for inexpensive accommodation. 20 min walk to city centre and buses run right by the hotel.
