Last night was the second time I've stayed at this hotel for business, and once again I was impressed by the cleanliness and general decor of the room. I had a river view this time and it was lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful, as they were before. The only slight annoyance was how long it took to... More

Spent 3 nights here on a birthday treat. Having never been to Durham, the hotel location is spot on, just a short walk over the river to the city centre (even spotted a Kingfisher flying past right in front). Its a 10-15 minute walk from the railway station (steep climb on return). We paid for a Business class upgrade and... More

We stayed for a couple of nights in a large comfortable room. There are good leisure facilities such as a swimming pool if you have time to make use of them. However the prices at the bar were very high and you could pay less for a room at other hotels even closer to the centre More

Stayed at the Radisson Blu for my friends 40th Birthday. Lovely hotel, clean and well kept, all of the staff were very helpful and pleasant. We used the pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi during the day which was very nice. In the evening we walked over the connecting bridge straight into Durham which was nice and handy. Breakfast was...

The room was large, quiet and clean. Good bathroom and in general the whole room gives the sensation of space. The hotel is modern and very good for a business visit though also appropiate for leisure. Breakfast was good enough though it's not the biggest plus of the hotel. Choice, even though decent, could be improved. Staff was kind and... More

I was treated to night away with the future Mrs and we got a deal for Dinner, Bed and Breakfast on Superbreak. The hotel is perfectly located for a trip to Durham with just a small venture over the walk bridge to bars and restraunts. The hotel rooms are very well decorated and are to a high standard, friendly staff... More

Not much to say. Modern, clean accommodation. Would stay again. We got a very cheap deal through Last Minute Top Secret Hotels. More

The receptionist didn't tell us about the strange lighting system in the room or warn us that we needed a ticket to get out of the car park. We ordered a twin room but were given a double room. The tea and coffee supplies were meagre and there were only two clothes hangers per person. Worst of all, the Durham... More

The room was clean and quite. The service staff was really friendly compared to the people working at the reception desk or the breakfast room. They were not really unfriendly but they didn't seem very motivated and were not helpful at all. Durham is a nice location for a weekend and we found an excellent and authentic Italian restaurant.
