Rooms

The rooms at the hotel have a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, along with coffee and tea making facilities for your convenience. Bathrooms include a walk-in shower and a separate toilet, and such comforts as a hair dryer and bath sheets.

“The Seven Stars is a wallet-friendly alternative to Durham's pricier city center options, offering clean and warm rooms alongside a restaurant where the food is plentiful; the staff are particularly welcoming, making up for the inn's need for a refresh. Its location, while convenient for exploring Durham and close to the MetroCentre, does mean on-street parking and potential road noise, so plan accordingly. This family and historical themed hotel is ideal for budget-conscious travelers.”
