Michael, 1-night trip

Emma, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Breakfast was good - but coffee machine was broken, so only black coffee available. Sunday breakfast, baked beans ran out! Room was pleasant and clean; window gave poor sound attenuation (noisy bar across the street kept me awake until 2am on Sunday!)
Charles, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were very friendly and the hotel is nice and central. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. The only slight criticism was that there must have been a slight gap in the window as there was a slight whistling noise from the window.
Rob, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment. Excellent value for money. There is a car park however it is small and tight. We parked in DL1 about a 10 minute walk. Not a problem to us. Standard room has everything and decent size. We will use this hotel again.
Ian, 2-night trip

We spent one night here as part of an extensive vacation. The hotel was in a perfect location and offered comfortable rooms and a great breakfast.

Darlington stay

Good location but because it is central it is also noisy being able to hear the outside, so be prepared for street/town central noise. Greatful that a fan was already provided in the room. Very helpful staff and Easy to check in and out. A good stay overall.
Hind, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good to have parking. Reception staff helpful. Nice big room. Lovely shower room. Restaurant had run out of food, so we are out. Bed really comfy. Reasonable breakfast. However, in the morning we could clearly hear loud conversation from the neighbouring room, so sound proofing isn't great. However, overall we are likely to stay again when in Darlington.
Darren, 1-night trip

BTCC Stayover

Very small double room, quite dated but clean and functional. OK for overnight stay.
Darren, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Really could do with a bigger sign to show car park entrance. Parking prices show £20 per night for hotel guests where its actually £5, when you get to reception. Some of the carpet on the stairs are old and fraying. Small bedside light not working and cobwebs above wall light outside bathroom
Mary, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Bathroom needs an upgrade. Toilet roll holder hanging off the wall.
Christopher, 2-night trip

Everthing was perfect. A family visit in a great location to meet everyone. Nothing was to much trouble. The staff are friendly and helpful!

Lovley hotel very nice
Andrea, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Clean and comfortable but nothing special !

The hotel room was clean and tidy. The beds are extremely comfortable. The room itself was extremely small and having to get 2 lifts to your room is absolutely crazy in my opinion for a hotel of this size. Overall I believe the hotel is “not bad” but it’s certainly nothing special. If anything I believe the price paid for one night was a little steep all things considering.
Antony, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent price, very pleasant staff, nice rooms, good breakfast
Samuel, 2-night trip
