As usual, a pleasant stay in a very well-located, comfortable and characterful hotel, but some flaws - [1.] aircon in the room was unacceptably noisy [2.] room allocation was careless - had requested 'near elevator' 'cos I have mobility problems, yet the room originally allocated was a route march away, involving two lots of stairs [3.] lift / elevator [the... more

We chose the Marriott because it appeared to be the best hotel in town, and on our walks around Durham we didn't see anything better. We were upgraded on our second night after being given a smokers' room (although our confirmation had guaranteed we would have a smoke-free room). The reception staff were very good, the bar and waiting a... more

Nine of us stayed for two nights. The staff was wonderful - helping with directions to various sights and answering our many questions. Rooms are not huge, but very comfortable and spotless. Breakfast buffet excellent. Overall, we were extremely pleased. more

The only let downs were that on arrival I had booked treatments after seeing... more

My Wife and I visited Durham for a long weekend to visit family. I am biased but I love Durham City. The hotel was fantastic with very helpful friendly staff. The staff could not do enough for you. The location for the hotel could not be better, it is a 2 minute walk into the market square or to the... more

Only one night spent at the Marriott but had a small but clean and quiet room with all mod cons, and made full use of the lovely pool and gym facilities. The only negative I have is that the breakfast arrangements are really confusing - someone guides you to your seat and tells you that everything is available for self-service... more
