Great location, shame about the spa area
The location is great, very central. Our room was lovely and so was the food at breakfast. The let down was the spa area. We only booked the hotel because it had a spa. The sauna was not working when we arrived and the engineer wasn't arriving until Thursday - we were checking out on Wednesday. The changing rooms were messy and the showers were very dark, one of the showers just dribbled water out and there were no shelves to put toiletries on. On our second day we were told there were no towels (it is stated on the literature that towels are provided) and they could only give us 2 small gym towels which weren't big enough to wrap around us. I asked if we could have a robe instead and was told they were only available to people who had booked spa breaks! Surely if there are no towels they could let us use the robes!

Weekend away
I recently spent a weekend away with my wife at the Radisson Blu in Durham and had an absolutely fantastic time. The hotel is beautifully located by the river, offering stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. The room was spacious, modern, and comfortable, with all the amenities we needed for a relaxing stay. We enjoyed excellent food throughout our visit—both breakfast and dinner were delicious, with a good variety of options. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a perfect getaway spot that we’d love to return to!

Lovely place to stay
We stayed in a room overlooking the river costing 180 pounds. Disappointed that there was no fridge or biscuits with the tea but the coffee machine was excellent. Room was spotless and bed was comfortable and loads of room for two. Would definitely stay again.

Good but not great
Nice hotel in a great location. Room wasn't ready at check in (we arrived after the 2pm check in time) and made to wait nearly half an hour before it was ready, not very good service or communication at check in. Excellent breakfast, lovely helpful restaurant staff. Nice pool and sauna.

Tired holes . Com
Paid for delux room with river view. The room was very basic and in order to see the river we would have had to stand on the tired looking sofa underneath the dorma window. The shower was old and had little or no water pressure. Disappointed overall with the room. The staff were pleasant. Disappointing. Won’t rush back
