Short break for a birthday. From the moment we arrived we were well looked after. Our room overlooking the river was very nice, somewhere to hang the towels etc in the bathroom would have been a good thing. The spa was good and clean throughout. The food in the evening in Josef's Restaurant was very good and plentiful and there was a good choice for breakfast in the morning too. Overall the staff were very good and we would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel for a stay in Durham. Looking forward to returning.

This is the first time we stayed at the Radisson Blu and found almost everything spot on; our check in with Katie and the amenities and service all met or exceeded our expectations. The only exception was when I ordered new potatoes, chives, and butter in your restaurant only to be given dry new potatoes. No problem, the next night was your Indian food night, so we went elsewhere for a delicious dinner at Holi's.

Beautiful modern hotel in a great location overlooking the river. Massive room with huge bed , nice buffet breakfast and easy to park although £14 for 24 hrs which is not bad really. 5 minute walk to the city centre over the footbridge outside the hotel. We didnt use the spa and pool but it was included in the price which was £96 minus the £50 tesco voucher so great value .

Standard room had view to back of building, so private and quiet. Not possible to adjust heating, so too stuffy at night. No fridge or biscuits in room. Bathroom had very good shower and lighting. Sufficient storage and hangers in room, but limited sockets and had to plug in kettle next to tv. Breakfast was good, but could do with more coffee machines. Parking reasonably priced and directly behind hotel. Swimming pool a big bonus, but the bins were full and needed emptying. I would stay here again as it is so convenient for visiting Durham, and for parking. The staff were also very helpful.

Although the room was clean the bathroom bin had not been emptied. Check in was very smooth and easy, Alex was very welcoming and informative, sharing information for the local area as well as hotel. The spa pool area was good and easy to use. The only negative is you have to walk through reception and the bar area to get to it which is a little uncomfortable when wearing your dressing gown. Breakfast was very good. Location very good. I would recommend and I would stay again
