OYO The Townhouse

It's lovely, so impressed. The staff are great, cheerful, and welcoming, good food, well made, and a small but perfectly formed bar. The rooms are comfortable, warm and beautifully designed spaces, we stayed in The Cruise, furnished with rather expensive yachting inspired furniture designs. The bath is the deepest one I've ever seen, and the shower, once I found out how to turn it on, was fantastic.

The location of the hotel was great for exploring the old city and the staff were fantastically helpful. Well stocked bar. The owner is relatively new and appears to have great ambition to develop the the hotel and restaurant - so I suspect it will only get beter. Couldn't have asked for more from him. All rooms are individual and no doubt some are better than others.

The Townhouse is a quirky but stylish boutique hotel within 10 (easy walking) minutes of the cathedral, but well away from the noise and student bustle of the very centre of Durham. The rooms are all individually decorated, and very comfortable. The reception staff are outstanding. Wendy, Ann(e) & Ryan are friendly and helpful at every opportunity and it is because of them that we will be returning again and again whilst our son is in Durham. Thank you so much to the three of you for a fantastic stay. Easy parking outside the hotel on a meter with "pay by phone" app.

The room was amazing the hotel was lovely staff so helpful went for my partners birthday and my partner surprised me byasking me to marry him here the staff helped Pond with the surprise it was lovely night all round wr had the azzuri room 4 poster bed bath at end of it beautiful room

Lovely Georgian building ideally situated in the city, quiet street but short walk across the bridge to shops, bars and cafes We recieved a friendly welcome upon arrival from lady on reception and were given the keys to our room in the Bjoux loft room. Albeit on the small side, (clue is in the name loft), it was perfect for a short stay as a couple. The room features a comfortable Queen size bed, wardrobe, kettle, electric fan and a modern en suite with walk in shower. Rooms are tastefully decorated and very clean and also had air con which we were grateful for given the balmy summer evening it was when we stayed! There are two sash windows (cannot open but didnt need to) with nice views of Durham cathedral in the distance which overlooks the city There is a cute little bar next to the reception where we had a drink in the afternoon, and to the rear of the property there is a restaurant and small beer garden though we didnt use it during our stay.
