FAQs about hotels in Durham
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.

Cathedral is one of the finest in England.
Cathedral is one of the finest in England. Well worth a visit. Castle is housing for students so not as much access. Tour was good but noisy which made hearing difficult. Rest of town is geared around students so less interesting for us as older travelers.LisaUnited States - 10Scored 10

Durham has a lovely city centre and an interesting historical heritage. I visit once a year. MAY/June is my favorite time, and also christmas with the christmas fair at the Cathedral is lovely. You can easily walk around Durham in a few hours. There are also parks and other areas surrounded the city that ar lovely. Visit "the Cafédral" for a cream scone and cakes! We have stayed at several hotels - our favorites are Kings Lodge Inn, and Ramshall Golf&Spa hotel. The cathedral itself is stunning and do take a guided walk! Highly recommended. The city is a university city - so do avoid coming when there are graduation ceremonies - it will be impossible to find somewhere to eat. There are several nice places to stay also. Durham has easy access to the translation for day trips to other cities. Just a short trip to York and Edinburgh. Take note that there isn't possible to visit the castle anymore, as it is now used by the university. Best evenings out ar wednesday and Fridays. I would avoid saturday..AnneNorway - 10Scored 10

A wonderful city of charm, beuaty and history. Great for real ale pubs, don't miss Vennels Cafe or the Cellar Door restaurant, and many other small independent shops, restaurants, pubs and other traders.

Very nice town. Fun market.
Very nice town. Fun market. Amazing cathedral; quite different from most. River Wear walk and Wharton Park are terrific for strolling and picnics. Durham Dales for longer rambles. Worth coming for several days!CatherineUnited States - 10Scored 10
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.MichaelUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0

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.

- From RSD 11,753.72 per night7.6Scored 7.6GoodRated good· 868 reviewsAs the price was so reasonable I wasn't expecting luxury from my room and I think it was roughly what I anticipated. The room had everything I needed and expected. The inn was pretty quiet and I got 2 good nights' sleep not least because the bed was comfortable. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and I had a fabulous meal in the restaurant, where I was joined by my son. I also liked the location: a semi-rural spot only a short drive from Durham city centre.
