Great location and ideal hotel

I stayed at the Delta for one night with my husband whilst visiting our son at Durham University. The location couldn’t be better as it is just across the bridge from the Bailey. Our room was very specious, clean, quiet and comfortable and we will definitely book again.

The room we were given was in a strange house outside the hotel. The fixtures and fittings were dated and the mattress protector was a bit lumpy. The room was quite dark too.

We felt our stay was ok but nothing special, breakfast wasn’t great for the amount charged and in general we didnt feel as relaxed as we’d hoped on a birthday weekend!
