    Comfortable experience there. Exceptionally clean units with a marvellous view, luxury toiletries, for instance. Accommodating staff always on hand. Marvellous and fab location, only a short distance to everywhere. Again, not far from Durham Riverside Walk.

    I recently stayed at Forty Winks in Durham for a weekend getaway. The interior design was absolutely stunning, with a unique and stylish decor that really stood out. The room itself was immaculate, comfortable, and had all the amenities you could ask for, including a Sony TV and Nespresso coffee maker. The breakfast was exceptional, with delicious food prepared by a chef from the owner's top-rated restaurant, Zen. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding a personal touch to the already incredible experience. I highly recommend Forty Winks for a memorable and luxurious stay.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    Got the same a nice size room with a very comfortable bed booked online, enjoyed that. Location: the hotel was not far from town center in 10 minutes and down to the river which runs in front of Premises, the river and old city centre, and the North Bailey colleges😀

    Luxurious, quirky, and friendly, with great location and parking options. Impeccable room facilities, sumptuous breakfast, and comfortable beds. Spotless gem with stylish, calm rooms and excellent breakfast choices. Amazing Cathedral view, lovely owners, and unique decorations. Ideal for exploring the center, just minutes away from the sights.
