Lovely short stay. The bar staff were lovely. The reason for 4* rating is that the chamber staff didn’t do a thorough job of cleaning the room.

The Hotel Indigo is full of character and charm. It’s very conveniently located for Ciy centre activities. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. One small improvement would be better lighting in the bedroom area, it’s quite dimly lit.

The room was very cold and only heated through a warm air duct which was incredibly noisy. We were woken up in the night with all the clanking so decided to turn it down and be cold rather than suffer the noise all night. After breakfast we returned to a room that had not been made up properly. Pillows still on chairs, my nightie scrumbled on the bed still strewn with the info guide. The water had not been replaced and the cups had not been cleaned. We had booked a meal at the restaurant which was not busy. After giving our order we waited 45/50 minutes for our steaks. When they arrived i noticed that the tomatoes advertised in the menu were not there. I queried the waiter who said he didn't think they were on the menu. When he returned he came with the tomatoes... The breakfast was standard fare, though my eggs benedict yolks were solid rather than runny. We normally go to the travelodge when we vist family in Durham but thought we would have a festive treat after a difficult year. It certainly was not the 4 star boutique hotel which we had expected.

I've stayed at this hotel multiple times over the past 2 years as my daughter is at the University in Durham. It's always a genuine pleasure to stay here, but I think this most recent visit was best of all. Lovely room, staff always super friendly, excellent breakfast. Thoroughly recommended.

Book. Now.
Sensational throughout, friendly, and on the ball members of staff. Historical building, with architecture that gave me a sore neck from looking up the whole time I was there. The room was even better than advertised, feeling like a designer home bedroom, I considered either redecorating my house or moving in... permanently. Breakfast was a joy, with a choice of made to order hot food in addition to your traditional buffet, which made everything seem so functional and prepared. Again for the staff, so helpful and guest focused they were two steps ahead of anything I could have thought of asking. The bar is lovely, the drinks were great, the coffee shop was so quaint. The rooms have smart features, with that luxury feel we get from old-money. I'll be back.
Rosé for the stay.
A room with a view.
The corridor, that's all.
