Radisson BLU Hotel Durham

10/10 Excellent
"A delightful hotel, very near the station and all of the attractions of Durham. Polite and attentive staff, and a lovely spa and gym. The room was spacious, clean, and luxurious, and we loved it. The only minor problem was that there weren’t a whole lot of hot vegetarian options at breakfast, but that’s really splitting hairs. A remarkable stay overall."
