About Hotel 52 Stanley

Well placed for Beamish Museum and historic Durham. Nestled between Newcastle and Durham, Hotel 52 Stanley is an excellent base for exploring the North East's top attractions and beauty spots.

We're only a five-minute drive from the award-winning open-air museum at Beamish and around 10 miles from the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where you can enjoy windswept walks in the countryside.

Stanley is also a stop along the C2C cycle route if your preferred mode of transport is two wheels. A day trip to Durham is not to be missed, with its world-famous cathedral and castle, while Newcastle beckons for a night on the Toon.

Our friendly and helpful staff will make your stay as restful as possible, and all our 23 simply-furnished rooms have soft, comfy beds to help you get a good night's sleep.

This was a very last minute booking. We were drawn in by the price which was good. No-one there when we arrived but detailed instructions got us in to our room. Very clean and modern double bedroom with bathroom. Help was available by phone but we didn't need it. Nearest restaurant not available Monday/Tuesday when we were there. Just across the road was a Greggs, Dominos and Starbucks. Plenty of pubs/restaurants within a mile/2 mile radius. TV buttons not working and window needs fixing. But on the whole a great place to stay.

I spent 3 days at this hotel with a friend.
The hotel was spotlessly clean and the staff were friendly and helpful especially Jeannette. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she dealt with any issues we had . The hotel had a gym but the main areas, such as the bar/ bistro and the lounge was in a separate building to the hotel , which was just outside .
This was called Rangos
Although the hotel had limited times the reception was open, there were phone numbers we could ring if we needed help, and Jeannette gave me her personal number . She dealt with the issue with our door very promptly and sent someone to show us how to get into our room.. she also explained the remote control only worked when you turn the TV on manually

Hotel is near to Beamish museum and we used stanley taxis a lot but then found the bus station and taxi rank were by each other and bus fares are cheap.

The only fault we could see is the maintenance of the building , although that wasnt major . Jeanette seemed to be jack of all trades and was good to fix what she can .
We had a pleasant stay but did miss having a 24hr reception .
The hotel is situated in a housing estate which was very quiet
We didn't venture into stanley due to a short stay .
But thiank you to all the staff for their customer service and friendliness

The location of the Hotel is excellent if you are visiting Beamish Museum. The interior of the hotel was very good, the rooms were clean & well presented, as was the bathroom nice white towels, plenty of hot water. What lets it down is the appearance outside the grass was very overgrown & we couldn’t open the window in our room(13) which made it very stuffy, apparently a previous guest had damaged the window lock, but I think it should have been put right straight away
Parking was great and the staff on checking in and out were friendly & helpful
Would definitely stay here again

Review of two night stay at Hotel 52, Stanley from Friday 8th to Sunday 10th May 2026

Check-in was online only which required a smartphone and a reliable Wi-Fi signal, there are no reception staff on site during the normal working day.
The outer door was automatic so anyone could walk in. After collecting our key from a key safe we went to find our room. There was a security toggle with the key to open inner doors of the hotel but none of the security locks functioned so anyone could access all areas of the hotel. This is not safe. The only lockable door was the bedroom door. With no staff on site this is a disgraceful lack of security.
We had booked a double room with en suite facilities. The room appeared to be set up for single occupancy. The bed was a ¾ size double bed with a single mattress protector. There was only one chair which was very stained, one bedside table and one bedside light.
The bathroom was on a lower level and had three steep steps down with handrails either side. Both handrails were almost completely pulled from the wall and would have offered no support to a person who stumbled on the steps. There was no shaver socket in the bathroom and the hot water feed to the wash-hand basin was barely tepid. The shower was warm enough.
Two bath towels were supplied and two mugs for tea/coffee. These were the only sign that the room was for double occupancy.
There was no bin in the room for any litter we might have and it was not clear that housekeeping was only o

Delighted with our room! It was very clean and fresh and well stocked with tea/coffee/chocolate, plus toiletries. The shower was easy to use, the water hot and plentiful, and the towels were thick and fluffy. The bed had a feather duvet which made it very luxurious and super cosy! The staff we met were polite, helpful and a credit to the company. We didn't use Restaurant next door for breakfast, but we did have an evening meal there (a cheese burger - two patties - and a chicken parmo - breaded chicken with tomato puree and garlic and cheese topping). The food was hot, the portion size generous and fantastic value for money. This place is ideal for visiting Beamish, or the Tanfield Railway (like we did). Seriously can't recommend it enough!

The hotel is basic but comfortable beds. The showers are temperamental sometimes hot sometimes cold . Its a self check in hotel with a code to get the key out the key safe. The reception isnt manned 24hrs a day . So check if you really need to see someone. We stay here once a mont ad my son has regular hospital appointments. And the hotel is close to family. Its cheap convenient and clean. We always take extra tea sugar milk as you only get enough for few cups of tea. And with the reception not been manned you cant ask for some more. But there is a one stop 5 mins away .

We had contacted the hotel before arrival and on the pre arrival check in to say that my husband had mobility issues, we were put into a room on the first floor but the lift was not working. It was a major struggle for him. They assured us it would be fixed by that evening, as it was a Friday afternoon when we arrived I was dubious. The next day we were offered a ground floor room. The rooms need to be sound proofed as we could hear when someone was using water, washing, showering filling the kettle. Also could hear people talking as though they were outside our room. The staff were lovely, but after the experience we had we feel we are due compensation.

On arrival after checking in via email i didnt receive an email back with my room number. I called the nuber on the reception desk and was told my room number via them but the key was not there. I was told that they were still probably servicing the room but as it was 5pm and check in was from 4 i was a little surprised. I was then told to wait in reception for someone to come and assist me. 20 minutes later a woman arrived and took us to the room to find no towels or tea and coffe making stuff. (Milk teabags cups). I called her again and was told she would bring some up. After travelling for 3 hours all i wanted was a cup of tea! 20 minutes later she arrived with 1 towel a carton of milk and 2 chipped mugs. I have since kearnt that the local dss are housed in this hotel which wasnt stated so there were young people hanging around which was unnerving. At around 3 am there was an argument happening outside between 2 of them which caused me some concern. The room was hot and stuffy maybe a fan wouldn't go a miss and the bed was tiny

Check-in was easy. Excellent welcome and key system explained.

Minor issues. 13amp sockets not easy to access, took a while to find the spare sockets, all were behind furniture!

Only one bedside lamp. Not a major issue this time, as we only needed the room for sleeping. However, for a longer stay bedtime reading would have been an issue.

Problem with the door handle being loose. It was reported and we were assured that it had been logged and would be dealt with.

We will be staying again when we need to be in the area.

On a Sunday night, there were limited eating options nearby, so we had a chinese and pizza takeaway in our room. The room was let down by needing just a little more maintenance - the desk chair was broken and the door handle was loose. Its also a noisy hotel because although other guests were just going about their normal business the sound seemed to really carry and echo through the corridor.

Basic but ok.

Clean and spacious room. Comfortable mattress. Tea and coffee available. Odd smell, no ventilation- windows does not open. Tv turned on at volume every 30min. Had to unplug it. Shower made high volume high ptich noise continuously. Bed small why no king size. Lots of noise travel between rooms.

The only thing I would have liked was the bins to be emptied every day.

Hotel 52 Stanley

It was clean with good amenities. Restaurant downstairs and walking distance to Greggs, Starbucks and Dominos.
A nice drive to nearby pubs and restaurants as well.
Hotel has a lift for those who can’t walk up stairs. Good security and it was quiet.

Room was great. It was warm, spacious and very clean. Bathroom was the same. The tea and coffee making facility was well stocked and there was even an iron and ironing board available on the landing.
One down side was that there wasn’t always staff on hand at reception to answer any queries or resolve issues quickly.

The staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. They work very hard. The one thing I did notice was that there are some residents who are obviously homeless and living there who are very rude to the staff which is totally un-necessary as the staff simply turn the other cheek which is very brave of the staff.

Only reason we didn’t give it excellent was…..
the restaurant is closed on Monday & Tuesday evenings and other than Granola, there was no other cereal on menu. There was no armchairs in our room & had to lie on bed to relax & there was only two coat hangers on rail.

Room was very clean & staff very friendly and helpful. We found the process for checking in very easy & no problems finding the key code to get keys from key box.

We would come back again.

No-one in attendance to ask if we could book a breakfast, this may have been a blessing in disguise. When I got the key to our room, we found the door open, not the best start. Overall, a very shoddy set up, which detracted from a good weekend.

Stay was ok, unfortunately no loo roll in accommodation, bins not emptied and power tools woke us up at gone midnight.

Used to air BnB and using premises which are not staffed but in those instances I expect cleaning to have taken place and basics like loo roll to be restocked.

There was a gents on site and I was able to make do and find provisions but travelling as a family of 4 the aforementioned was problematic.

Shame as had potential to be ideal but all in all a disturbed nights sleep tipped it over for us.

AVOID!

Booked on the hotels.com website at short notice. Hotel info states \"Reception 24/7\" ...... it is not. Reception was a small serving hatch, no staff present, no phone, no info, nothing. I found a number on hotels.com app, a female answered and said I should have received an email with a link to book in and a code for a room key box. She stated \"sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't\" ..... helpful! Eventually received an email with a link to book in and managed to get the key box code, it all took about 20 minutes.
The hotel is very basic (in fact very very basic). We were allocated room 14. The room was clean and had two beds. One was trying to be a double and failing badly, it was so small we couldn't turn over without hitting each other. I measured it with my phone charging cable. When I got home I discovered it was 46 inches wide, standard width for a double bed? ... 54 inches.
Room 14 is on the first floor. Below our windows was a loud heating exhaust that activated every 15 minutes or so, we closed the windows, it didnt help. We thought we'd watch the TV but there was no remote. We managed to turn it on and change channels etc manually, at 6 O'Clock in the morning it turned itself on!
I emailed the manager with all this info and have received no acknowledgement.
I suspect there is some creative writing of other reviews. We booked two nights, we stayed for one. Would we stay again? .....never.

The property is spotlessly clean, the staff member who checked us in was polite and friendly, The room was very spacious. The only thing in the room that was lacking was a mirror, there is one in the bathroom but if like myself you want to straighten your hair there is no mirror to do so. The restaurant joined onto the hotel is fantastic, the staff and food we couldn’t fault.

HOTEL 52 Is very convenient for us. My son lives 5 minutes away ,so when we visit its ideal. The hotel itself is lovely. Rooms very comfortable and spacious. We stayed in quadruple room 1 double 2 singles. The only reason i took off a star was the toilet rool holder was hanging off the wall. I tried to report it but there was no one at reception. There was a number to call . But we had a appointment to get to . This is our 2nd stay at the hotel and we definitely will be staying again. The restaurant Rangos is fantastic lovely food and lovely service. 😊

Our arrival at the hotel was met with a very warm welcome. The lady on reception was more than happy to tell us about the area, and recommended places to eat, which turned out to be very good. She was really helpful and informative, although she did seem to be slightly distracted, but we later learned that her son had been rushed into hospital with chest pains, but she couldn’t leave as there was no one to take over, which we thought was very commendable of her. The price was quite competitive, compared to other hotels and our room was quite nice, and very clean, but the tv continually turned itself on, and the handle on the bathroom door was loose, but these are minor issues that can be resolved. Despite this, we will definitely return.

Lovely and clean

No one on reception during the night, anyone could walk in - this made me quite anxious and and didn't feel safe. Wouldn't want to stay there on my own.
Also at one point during the night i had misplaced the hotel room key but luckily we hadn't but there would have been a problem, if we had and no one available on reception.
Paper cups - prefer proper cups and spoons.

Price was very good for 2 adults for 2 nights.
Would use again if someone is on reception during the night.
