Weekend away
I recently spent a weekend away with my wife at the Radisson Blu in Durham and had an absolutely fantastic time. The hotel is beautifully located by the river, offering stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. The room was spacious, modern, and comfortable, with all the amenities we needed for a relaxing stay. We enjoyed excellent food throughout our visit—both breakfast and dinner were delicious, with a good variety of options. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a perfect getaway spot that we’d love to return to!

Nice staff, breakfast especially the pancake machine, and room. The walls were a little thin because I could hear the tv in the next room. Overall, a great stay.

Nice enough. The pool was a bit tired and very crowded. Also there was a fire alarm in the middle of the night that went on for a very long time which was very disruptive.

Lovely place to stay
We stayed in a room overlooking the river costing 180 pounds. Disappointed that there was no fridge or biscuits with the tea but the coffee machine was excellent. Room was spotless and bed was comfortable and loads of room for two. Would definitely stay again.

Good but not great
Nice hotel in a great location. Room wasn't ready at check in (we arrived after the 2pm check in time) and made to wait nearly half an hour before it was ready, not very good service or communication at check in. Excellent breakfast, lovely helpful restaurant staff. Nice pool and sauna.

Tired holes . Com
Paid for delux room with river view. The room was very basic and in order to see the river we would have had to stand on the tired looking sofa underneath the dorma window. The shower was old and had little or no water pressure. Disappointed overall with the room. The staff were pleasant. Disappointing. Won’t rush back
