8/10 Good

Radisson BLU Hotel Durham

Radisson BLU Hotel Durham

8/10 Good
"The room could do with a little more cleaning and there was some black mould around the bath tub. The toilet needed a deep clean too! The staff on reception were excellent and special mention to Scarlet, Chloe and Josh for their help and kindness. Scarlet was particularly helpful in sorting out an alternative room for me as I wasn’t keen having a room with an adjoining door to the next room (even though it was locked!) Also special thanks to Jack (who managed the spa) and was very keen to try and sort out an issue with the steam room. He was very apologetic about this particular facility having constant issues. All in all an enjoyable stay."
