We stayed here for one night in a last minute basis. What a brilliant surprise! The hotel has lots if parking spaces and is just a short stroll from many bars/restaurants and shops. The room was bigger than expected. We didn't eat in the restaurant but it looked and smelt very nice. I will definitely be looking at returning to... More

The rooms were very clean and spacious. The staff is extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. There is a spa/health club attached to the hotel that the guests are allowed to use. There was a steam room, sauna, pool, and hot tub. It was fantastic! The food was average. The room is located near the city center. If you stay here... More

On arrival the staff were very friendly and helpful and this continued throughout my 2 day stay. I took my team of 10 staff there for 2 days and everyone enjoyed their stay and voted to return again. We all enjoyed the hotel's facilities and felt the location was brilliant to explore Durham too. The rooms were bright, clean and... More

Australian Universities played a two-day cricket match against Durham University at the Racecourse Ground in June 2013. The Belfry was the perfect location for the 11 players and 3 WAGs from Australia. The views down the river and up to the cathedral are stunning, the location is ideal for restaurants and nightlife, the pool is perfect for recovery sessions, the... More

Excellent food but noisy due to hen party and weddings ealy morning revels. Interconnecting doors proved not a good idea as next door's noise came through it. Could not fault the cleanliness or the comfort. Pool facilities were excellent. Still not happy about paying to park in the hotel as we were staying there but cheaper than Premier Inn. £50... More

We really enjoyed our visit here. Everything about this hotel is first class. I cannot fault anything about it. The rooms are excellent and the staff cannot help enough. The hotel is in a good location in the centre of Durham. Highly recommended.

Spent one night at the Radisson. Very comfortable room with views over the river towards the Castle and Cathedral. The hotel is very close to the town centre and you can park in the car park for £7 for 24 hours, and easily walk to all the main attractions. Bathroom was spotless. Breakfast was very good and included Craster kippers... More

Stayed here for one night with my partner, would definitely recommend. Although it stated check in wasn't until 2, we arrived around 11 and asked in the hotel if we could just park the car and come back later however as the hotel wasn't fully booked when we arrived we were allowed to check in early. Check in was quick,... More
