“What this hotel might lack in flashy amenities, it more than makes up for in its welcoming atmosphere and genuinely helpful staff. The on-site Italian restaurant and ease of access to the city centre via bus are definite pluses, but the quiet, peaceful rooms really seal the deal for a restful stay. It's a solid, affordable base for exploring Durham.”
