Very good location and great hassle free check in.
However, there was mould in the bathroom unfortunately and the room was a little dated.
There was dust quite a lot around the lamps and desk.
Apart from that, nice staff, helpful and a quiet area. Just a shame about the mold!

Sacred English Heritage
Durham could definitely be one of those towns that appear in fairy tales and stories of kings and knights. Lying on a hilled peninsula formed by the Wear River, the striking cathedral overlooks from the hilltop, surrounded by the castle, palaces and historic buildings. Get transported back in time by the magic of this English jewel, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Though archaeological evidence suggests the area has been inhabited since 2000 BC, the present-day settlement was founded by monks from Lindisfarne in 995, choosing the area as the final resting place of Saint Cuthbert. Symeon of Durham stated once that ‘to see Durham is to see the English Zion, and by doing so one may save oneself a trip to Jerusalem’. Hotels and B&Bs in Durham’s historic centre are a popular choice to enjoy this historic legacy.
Its powerful religious position granted such great honour to the city, that the bishop still holds the rights to a seat in the House of Lords, and to accompany the sovereign at the coronation. During the 19th century and encompassing the industrial revolution, the university was founded, with Durham Castle becoming its first college.
Whether you’re searching for a cottage, a modern hotel, or a cheap hostel, Booking.com offers a wide range of accommodation in the area.

Durham is a great city with lots of great places to eat.
Durham is a great city with lots of great places to eat. The Beamish museum is a short car journey away and is a great family day out. The cathedral and castle are an amazing visit to Durham's past. Expect to do a lot of walking, and most of it uphill. Durham like most historic city's has beautiful cobbled streets so good comfortable shoes are recommended.

Durham offers something for everyone.
Durham offers something for everyone. Even more for those who wish to explore the historic castle and Cathedral and surrounding streets. The city offers a comprehensive range of food and restaurants. It is accessible by road and rail.
If you find steep streets challenging there are still plenty of places to pause and browse or rest and eat or drink.
It is a beautiful city to visit.

A lot of pubs where the students go were scruffy and uninviting ( ripped furniture etc). Loved the areas around the cathedral, castle, town square and the river. Tour of castle was limited to 4 areas due to students living in the castle which we were not informed about when we purchased tickets. Thought it was a total waste of time going.
Some nice places to eat such as the Spice Lounge just off the square,Turkish kitchen near the cathedral and the Boat Club near the river.

I loved Durham. I did a tour of the Cathedral and Castle.
I loved Durham. I did a tour of the Cathedral and Castle. I felt very safe being on my own and people I did speak to were very chatty.
It was very peaceful walking along the river.
There did seem to be an awful lot of Church's,
I attended the Easter Service at the Cathedral, it was lovely. The choir had 30 children and 11 adults in it. The volunteers were very good.
I would like to come again soon.
I stayed at the Kingslodge Inn, and ate there and at an Indian Restaurant Alishan. The food was delicious.

The hotel is located on the river just a short walk to the city centre. My room had lots of space and comfortable. I liked the coffee table and chair by the window in particular. The bathroom has everything you need as well as being very clean. The breakfast was really enjoyable with lots of choice. Lastly it is possible to use the spa facilities as a guest. There is a pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi, which is a real added bonus for a stay.
Great value, food & drink were good prices, the atmosphere was great. Richie the manager was so welcoming & a big thank you to Claire who looked after us all weekend, nothing was too much trouble for her, really friendly, king room was great, close to Durham city centre. The singer on Saturday night was so good. Can't wait to go back.
The location was beautiful, it overlooks fields, is very quiet and a short drive to park and ride for Durham. We were upgraded to a modern newly built apartment that was very spacious and comfortable for a 5 night stay and were amazed at the scale of this property it being a combination of old renovated cottages and new builds.
Room was really unique. Beautifully decorated and bed was super comfy. Bath was AMAZING Team were really nice and friendly. Very helpful. All of the hotel was beautifully presented. Outside area was really nice and peaceful. Our room was on the front of hotel and was really quiet.

Hotel Indigo is located only a few minutes walk from Durham centre & Cathedral.
Staff very pleasant & helpful.Room spacious & clean with air conditioning.
Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice, we had drinks in bar with reasonable prices, barman very pleasant!
Location was perfect for access to Durham University Open Day, could either walk 20-30mins or catch frequent public bus service from right outside the hotel. Easy stroll down to the river and beautiful countryside on doorstep. Breakfast was sufficient for the price.
No food available in the hotel but Costa coffee a Mac Donald’s plus food in the nearby garage and WH Smith’s. All a few steps away. The staff was friendly. I had a disabled parking space and disabled room on ground floor. Superb
