                Great value and only 5 minutes walk to town. We got a taxi back as there is a steep hill on the way back. Lovely friendly staff and very clean too… Although we didn’t eat there(They closed early!) the Italian restaurant next door smelt gorgeous… Have stayed here several times and would definitely stay again!

                Durham city show”

                We spent the night at the Travelodge after going to a show at the Gala Theatre. We spent the afternoon in the city itself, went up to check in then went back down for the show and, as we were staying just a short distance away from the city centre, we managed a couple of drinks before walking back to the Travelodge. That was the added benefit of this hotel choice. Everyone knows the chain and this one may have been basic to match the cost but it was very clean, tidy and comfortable - plus the lady on reception was very helpful and friendly when we checked in. had a lot worse in many big name chains.

                Clean tidy and a warm welcome ”

                Very comfortable stay, here for two nights over Christmas period and my welcome was met by a lovely lady at reception, where I was greeted and shown My room in ground floor, when I entered the room it was very clean tidy and cosy. All tea and coffee facilities plus extra to collect if needed in reception. The only down side to this stay is limited Wi-Fi and £3 to purchase for 24 hours. I have never had to do this before at hotels.

                Stayed for the weekend with one of my daughters. Staff were very friendly and informative. Made you feel very welcome. Had a problem with my key card one day and they were straight on it and got it sorted. Location was just right as a short walk into the town centre. Thoroughly recommend.

                Almost everything about our Travelodge Durham stay was was very good - location; assistance from receptionist; cleanliness; facilities; parking. One small fault was that our bed was not as comfortable as we had hoped - a definite dip in the middle of the mattress.
