About Premier Inn Durham City Centre Walkergate
Freemans Place sits close to the River Wear as it loops through Durham, with the cathedral and the railway station both within easy reach on foot. Premier Inn Durham City Centre Walkergate makes use of that position, putting guests near the old town without the parking hassles of the centre itself, since parking here is chargeable and off-site.
The hotel has 103 rooms across five floors, each en-suite and air-conditioned, with free WiFi and drinks available in the room. A lift serves all floors and accessible rooms are available. Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar on site, plus breakfast served each morning, and 24-hour reception for those arriving late or heading off early.
Beyond the hotel, the surrounding area offers a pub or restaurant for most tastes, along with golf, fishing, horse riding and entertainment nearby for those wanting more than a stroll along the river. It's a straightforward, well-placed base for exploring Durham's centre and its cathedral quarter.
Guests mention this hotel has clean, comfortable, and modern rooms, along with a great central location near city attractions and restaurants. They also highlight the friendly, welcoming, and helpful staff, and appreciate the good value breakfast and discounted parking.
Some reviews mention the breakfast can be disorganized.
