“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.”

The main areas have been refurbished. The rooms also were updated. I found this to be a huge improvement, thus making my stay an excellent value. Staff members were helpful. The location is ideal, with a walk to the city center.
