Premier Inn Durham East

I’m in Durham quite a lot with work and tend to stay here regularly. It’s a solid Premier Inn, rooms are clean, beds are comfortable, and check in is always straightforward. Staff are friendly and make things easy, which is a big plus when you’re in and out a lot. Location works well for getting into the city quickly, and there’s plenty of parking which is handy. Nothing overly fancy, but it’s reliable, quiet enough for a good night’s sleep, and good value for the area.

Still think this to be the best Premier Inn in Durham. But that saying…. Room ok; fluffy towels, clean cotton sheets, comfortable bed, good pillows. Tele a pain. No aircon but fan, no loo brush, no fridge, no glasses for wine; negotiating the shower could be difficult for active oldies, bring everything you need including tissues. And WD40 for shower tap? Needs a refurb. But clean. No lift. If female with luggage, ask for lower floor. Nice staff. Reception manned 24/7 appreciated.

Rooms clean, the staff were polite, friendly and informative. This Prenier Inn is perfectly located for going into Durham City about 6 minute drive. The breakfast at the Beefeater was great, again staff brilliant.

Location- good, we booked to visit Durham and Beamish. Restaurant - good although 2 of our choices were unavailable. Room- clean and of a good standard however, we had booked a family room and one of the made up beds was so uncomfortable. The worst part was the quality of sleep. The room was incredibly hot. When I reported this I was told that people normally complain because it’s cold and was asked to check the radiator. It wasn’t on. During check out, I reported it again and was told it was because we had a family room. The temperature was 26.5 degrees. We were all awake at 2am, went to sit outside at 6am and thankfully due to 12 o’clock Check out, we managed to get our children to nap so not to ruin their day.

A little but out of the way for our purpose meaning Uber everywhere and also a bit pricey (as was everywhere that weekend). On the plus side a decent night's sleep, decent breakfast and helpful staff. About a tenner for an Uber to the centre of Durham.
