This is a great value hotel. You pop across the car to spend what you want on breakfast in the health club. Ok some complained £2 for 2 Weatabix steep but you can have avocado and poached egg on toast very reasonable. The rooms are fine, nothing wrong with any that we had, premium or standard. All clean. The service was great, friendly and helpful. Having to keep having the key cards reprogrammed is a pain but we just did it every time we came in. Location is a bit out but that makes it quiet and there is a Sainsbury’s, pharmacy and Copland just 10 mins walk away.
If you're picky, this probably isn't the place for you but if you're more the straightforward, no-nonsense type, it ticks all the boxes that matter. My room was clean and tidy, the bed comfortable and the breakfast kept me sated until late afternoon. If you have dietary requirements, though, you'll have to speak up. I was simply asked what time I'd like breakfast. There was no mention of options, vegan needs etc. I simply finished my toast and cereal and a glorious full English was put in front of me. My only dietary requirement is 'generous portions', so this approach worked perfectly for me but it won't suit everyone. The gentleman serving breakfast was a man of few words. Not rude or stand-offish, just reserved. If you loathe morning people and small talk in equal measure like I do, you'll love him. And as for the night before, don't worry about being away from the city centre. There's a Sainsburys and Vietnamese restaurant within easy walking distance, so you won't starve. The final plus point for me was the price of £43. £40-£50 cheaper than more central alternatives in a city that seems to think it's Kensington. I would definitely stay at The Shoes again.
What is there not to like about this place, clean rooms, comfortable beds, great food and a good variety of drinks. The staff were all hospitable, welcoming and attentive with nothing too much trouble for them. Though located next to a busy road, traffic noise was at a minimum
Just back from honeymoon so now time to thank all those that made our special day so perfect, we stayed at 61 Durham for 2 nights and it was perfect from the moment we walked in to the moment we left the morning after our wedding. We’d had a couple of meetings with Rachel and Fabio before the big day to prepare our own menu and wine list and nothing was too much trouble for them, even on the morning of the wedding when the power in the hotel went out everything was calm and collected. Our Celebration meal was superb and everyone commented on how good the food was - Fabio, you were right your risotto was perfect 👍👍. We had 25 family members join us and from the restaurant which was set up exactly how we wanted it was such a great venue for our day with the grounds for our photos and the Garden Room to chill out in after our food. An extra special thanks to Rachel for putting up with us during the initial meetings but a huge thank you to her and the team for making our day a very special one indeed. Would recommend the venue to anyone looking for a laid back intimate day with family at a very reasonable price. Will be back for Sunday lunch soon 🙏👍
Great boutique hotel with quirky comfortable rooms in a fabulous quiet location but close to attractions and amenities. Great breakfasts!! Brilliant staff , Amy & June are superstars , very friendly and super helpful , made it a fantastic stay
1 night stay in the penthouse for lumiere weekend with friends. Fantastic accommodation close to everything. Gillian was wonderful and really helpful, Balloons and a birthday card were supplied in the room as it was my sisters birthday, really lovely and appreciated. Gillian went out of her way to make us feel welcome and explained everything to us on arrival, even got us into our room early. We stayed Friday night and weren't really bothered by too much noise, although ear plugs are provided as rooms are above the bar. The bar is great, good selection of drinks and they have a stamp card scheme, for residents it's buy 3 get 1 free. Live music on Friday night's, although unfortunately the singer wasn't able to attend due to parking issues with the lumiere event on. No breakfast option but lots of options close by, we went to chapters for breakfast which is a few minutes walk across the bridge(delicious) the room was more like a small apartment with a small kitchen with cooker/hob and fridge. Large double bedroom, single bed and sofa bed in living room. Bathroom with shower over bath, it was massive considering we were only expecting a room. Everything was spotless, no dishcloth though so couldn't wash our chips. Fantastic value for money and wouldn't hesitate to book again! Thank you to all at the city rooms!
