Delta Hotels by Marriott Durham Royal County

Very comfortable room with tea and coffee making facilities which we like. Super shower and toiletries. Excellent helpful staff both in reception and the restaurant. Easy car parking facilities. Able to cater well for my celiac and allergies. Loved the top up water machine.

Good central location, friendly staff, comfortable bed, en suite with a bath. Very useful to have the mini fridge and to be able to leave our luggage for no extra charge both pre and post check out. Good to have a kettle in the room (at first we thought there wasn't one but we found it hidden in a cupboard along with teabags etc). The dark heavy furniture may not be to everyone's taste but modern furniture probably wouldn't suit this Grade 2 listed building. We found the following website useful for exploring Durham by foot which included info about this hotel: https://www.thisisdurham.com/things-to-do/digital-walking-tour-of-durham-p1020131

We asked for a room with a city view and this was provided as we could see the cathedral and some of the castle roofs. The room was quiet and very comfortable but at the back of this large hotel in a kind of annex, not a real problem. All staff were helpful and we had no problems other than a slowish wifi with no password security; I preferred not to use it therefore given we had a short stay. The breakfast room was very attractive and spacious indeed; breakfast was very appealing as were the helpful staff. The overall location was excellent being in sight of the centre and about 10 - 15 minutes walk from the station. I rated it GOOD but really I would prefer to assign VERY GOOD.

Perfect location for tourist to old town. Staff were all above average in delivering professional service in a pleasant manner. Breakfast was self service with option of items being brought from kitchen. Everything was well cooked, in a relaxed atmosphere. On site parking at £11 per 24 hours which for the location I thought good value.

Central but quiet location with parking. Situated by the river with Durham city attractions within walking distance. Large rooms and bathrooms. Tea and coffee making facilities in room. Additional items if needed available in reception area. Excellent water fountain providing still or sparkling water. Good breakfast buffet.
