I booked this hotel through an offer web site and I can tell you I was not disappointed,from the moment we went in the staff could not have been more helpful,from the two girls at the reception to the barman they could not have been nicer. the hotel is very central which was excellent for me. The room I got... More

Just had a great weekend in Durham, Stayed at the Three Tuns hotel Lovely hotel very clean food spot on staff very friendly. Will certainly stay again. Yes it is dated but that adds to the charm, what else would you expect from a hotel of this age More

Located (with carpark) in the town centre it is ideal for an inexpensive one or two nights stay. My room was clean, comfortable, tidy and warm and there was plenty of hot water. Bar was not up to much, having no draft or bottled real ale or customers come to that, but full english breakfast was good. Staff were all... More

Stayed here for a stop-over whilst travelling further North on Christmas Eve. As some other reviews say,it does require a bit of 'spruceing-up',but I would hate to see it go all faux suede and 70's' retro' which seems to have come in to vogue.(You know, chandeliers and 'mock flock' wallpaper in purple or lime green!).It made me feel quite nostalgic...

This is the third hotel I have stayed in, in the Swallow Chain (previously Gateshead and Glasgow) and I have to say this the best. As others have said it just requires some money spending on the decoration, however all the staff were most helpful and apologetic when the restaurant had to be closed on the evening of my visit...

Everywhere is worn out, the carpets are threadbare, wallpaper peeling, paint chipped, wiring very suspect you get the idea. The room was at the front and... More

Overall the hotel is pretty good value for money. The rooms are clean and cosy and there was a decent breakfast. The staff all seem to speak some dialect of Norse but I managed with hand gestures. The only real complaint I have is the lack of free wifi. I don't know what the management think they are playing at... More

Just had a two night stay at the Three Tuns Hotel. The location of this hotel is great - right in the centre of the city by the river. The building dates back to the 1600s. The hotel is a little tired looking and could do with some money being spent on it but for the price cant be beaten.... More

We found the staff very helpful. The hotel was clean but rather warm. The bedroom was fine but it could have done with a hoovering!! The bathroom fan didn't work,the bath had previous guests hairs in it and was cracked,not enough loo roll but once we'd asked for more this was dealt with. We had a great stay and would... More
