Radisson Blu Hotel, Durham

Hotel in great location on the river , nice view. All Staff were excellent, cleaners , bar/ restaurant , reception and managers were welcoming and efficient. Took time to speak and made us feel welcome. All main areas of the hotel ( reception, restaurant and bar)were well kept and had a lovely appearance and atmosphere.

We had a little 2 night break at the Raddison blu for my partners' birthday. This was our first experience staying here, and it was a lovely short break Once we arrived, my partner said she felt like she was dreaming. The location is great for local amenities, river walks, and a national trust site. The facilities such as the sauna, steam room, and pool are a great way to unwind and escape every day. We enjoyed the breakfast at the on-site restaurant, which was included for what we paid, and although we didn't have a meal on-site, the menu was very tempting. However, we decided to head out for our evening meals and explore the city at night. The staff were friendly and pleasant throughout our stay. We would return again and hope to do so.

Fabulous location, just a short walk along the river into town. Our room was a good size, clean, and had everything we needed for our stay. As a guest, you have complimentary access to the spa, which had a reasonable sized pool, jacuzzi, steam room, and sauna. There is also a well equipped gym The breakfast buffet is extensive, with a wide range of options available. The staff, particularly in the resautarant, were friendly, kind and helpful. There is ample parking on site.

Stayed here numerous times now, it's my first choice as it always goes above and beyond. Parking is easy, check in smooth and welcoming. Rooms and suites are simply superb, compared to other hotels in Durham ive stayed in that are tired. Food, breakfast and room service are all excellent. The pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi are spotlessly clean and maintained. This hotel is perfect for location and perfect from It's staff to facilities.

The staff were lovely and accommodating. There was a slight mix-up with our room and the front of house staff were extremely efficient about sorting it out. Two members of staff at Reception, in particular, were superb above and beyond: thank you Lauren; thank you Lisa! Our young lads loved the pool and so did we (and the sauna). The breakfast was unquestionably one of the best we've had at a hotel: buffet and/or from the menu. The hotel's location in Durham means that everything the city has to offer is within reach. The city bus circular stops outside for cathedral visits. I can't wait to return.
