七星酒店(The Seven Stars)

We have stayed at many hotels in Durham , this was far worse, not good value . Advertise bed and breakfast which was continental. Don’t wast your money . Stay at the Avenue or honest lawyer far better value for money and hot breakfast. Very disappointed .

A very friendly pub just outside Durham. Served a meal after 830 which is unusual nowadays.

Friendly staff, breakfast basic, bed very soft and uncomfortable, with an ability to feel every spring! Room could do with a seat.

Never again. Stayed in room 5. The sofabed was for some reason also made up in our room so we had to convert it back in order to have somewhere to sit. The main bed was the awful - the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in. Every spring could be felt and they twanged as I moved. At 2am, crying in frustration after a long day, I gave up and slept on the mattress topper (from the sofa bed) on the floor which was more comfortable. Only to be woken by music from the bar thumping from below at 7am. The shower room smelled horrible - bad drains. The floor was uneven under the lino and the toilet rocked when you sat on it. If I could give this place no stars I would. Do not give these people your money.

Room was directly over the bar and faced a busy road. Bed was extremely uncomfortable. By 3am nether of us had slept a wink and decided to to go and sleep in the car. Not a pleasant experience. Cheap and cheerful might be acceptable, this was just cheap and unpleasant. Certainly a place to avoid.

The staff made this hotel. They were welcoming, friendly, helpful and attentive. The rooms were in need of updating, but it felt that this was ongoing and will only get better. The main beds were comfortable, although the extra bed would probably be ok for a child, it was not very comfortable for an adult. The rooms were warm and clean. We ate in the restaurant, the food was delicious and plentiful and the service was great. Breakfast was continental, but there was plenty of choice and you could have as much as you wanted. The location is great to get into Durham, although the inn is on a fairly busy road, so the rooms at the front had some road noise. Parking was easy on the quiet road behind the inn. All in all, we had a lovely stay here.

We planned to attend a family celebration in Durham during the weekend. I checked the prices of accommodation around the city centre and ... I felt faint. Fortunately, having a car, we could extend your search and the Seven Star Inn came up as a godsend (and a lifeline for our wallet). It was not just a cheaper place but we also had a really good food for a reasonable price and friendly service. The only negative aspect is the parking space - you have to find a space for your vehicle on the side of the street in the immediate area.

Went in for food without a reservation and we were welcomed by James and his colleague in a lovely manner. So friendly and attentive. Food came quickly, delicious, flavourful and reasonably priced. Recommend the sharers with dirty fries 😋Couple of good ales on too! Will be back.

Comfortable stay & a very friendly service.
