disappointing

Booked a business class room but very disappointed. Very poor view looking onto other buildings in the eaves of the hotel,small room and bed. Very warm in the room despite the air conditioning and poor sleep due to this. No bathrobes in the room. Took two phone calls to reception and long wait util they arrived then too late to use them. Very poor quality robes large rip in arm of one of the robes. I have used raddsson on many occasion but will not book Durham business class again

Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback, I am disappointed to hear that you did not find your business class room up to the standard you would of expected from Radisson BLU. In regards to the bath robes, please be assured that your comments have been passed over to our Executive Head Housekeeper for review with the team. I sincerely hope this experience does not deter you from returning to the hotel in the future. Kind regards, Tom Front Office Manager

Lovely hotel, great location.

Arrived early, paid for parking, £8 for 24 hours, was allowed to check in early as room was available which was great for us. Staff were lovely and helpful. Nice sized room with good facilities. Location of this hotel is perfect if your going shopping or having a night on the town as the footbridge outside of the hotel takes you to really nice bars and restaurants which are just a few mins walk away. The scenery is beautiful here and there are some nice shops too. Perfect for a couple having aweekend away. You can't really drive around Durham city so better to put on comfortable footwear.

Brilliant Stay

Pros: Everything.
Cons: Nothing
Location: As the hotel was close to the city centre we could walk into the shopping centre without having to use the car.
Very comfortable, light and bright room. Fantastic view of Durham for room window. Breakfast was very filing as we had lots to eat and drink.The food was of good quality and cooked to a high standard. All in all an enjoyable experience.
