Chosen for convenience for Durham Regatta and town. Very ordinary hotel nothing special. Food choice for dining was poor and the food not great. Dusty room but clean bathroom. Uncomfy bed and pillows. Very overpriced. Friendly staff

We arrived and went straight to bed as it was late when we got there. Bed comfortable but surprised no face cloths in the bathroom . Shower excellent and breakfast really tasty and with plenty of choice. Left luggage in house while we visited the Durham uni.Easy to walk to the Uni business centre. A good choice.

The staff were unfriendly and the bed was terrible. We were able to get a mattress topper to make the bed bearable. The windows did not open and controlling the room temperature was extremely difficult.

The property is well located but extremely basic. The price doesn’t reflect this especially when compared to other similar hotels in the area. Check-in was late and at 3:30 I was still waiting for my room.

We had a wonderful stay Delta Hotels Durham Royal County. The hotel's location in Durham oldtown could not be better; it's close to everything. The hotel is clean, comfortable and the staff are extremely helpful. The breakfast buffet is excellent, with plenty of choices. They even will make your eggs to order. Breakfast hours suit all guests (0630 - 1030) and checkout isn't until 1200. Definitely would recommend!

Room and bathroom were both clean. Sat in garden with a drink which was nice. Had gluten free breakfast they made me 2 poached eggs then i put bacon beans mushrooms and tomato with it.they also made me 2 gluten free toast and gave me 2 gluten free cereal pkts schar cornflakes and schar muesli.i also had pineapple and watermelon chunks with a bit yoghurt. So got well fed which is a change when you need a gluten free breakfast. Most places you wont get cereal or toast.also have choice of coffees out of machine and fresh juices.
