It was amazingly spacious including the roomy bathroom. There was a fridge, lovely teas, and a safe, which were much appreciated. It was centrally located and very close to Durham University, making our visit with our daughter very convenient.

I had a comfortable stay here, and it was a fantastic base for exploring Durham. It’s the only hotel I’ve ever stayed at with a section of the in-room bin specifically for recycling, which I really appreciated. I found it difficult to alter the room temperature, but to be fair, I didn’t ask staff about this. Staff members were friendly and helpful.

Stay was good, food not so much

The stay was good overall. I didn’t like the food though, the burger and fries should have been much better for a Marriott.

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.
