Sarah
Outstanding service! Comfortable room with great water pressure and temperature! Delicious food and coffee! I booked this for spontaneous date night with my husband and it was beyond expectations. The oysters were so fresh! Al strong and band playing to best jazz! Amazing views of downtown Durham and the summer sunset We will definitely be back, highly recommend!!!!
Kevin
Great place to stay. Really liked being close to DPAC
Bill
Cool vibe and architecture. Beautiful view from bedroom. Great location. However… Shower took forever to heat up. No bedside table on one side, so had to turn trash can upside down as makeshift side table. Plugged phone in overnight to charge, only to discover in the morning that the outlet didn’t work. Shower leaked a small lake onto bathroom floor. Rooftop bar with beautiful views, but forgettable (hopefully) cocktails.
John
Great greeting staf like Remi and door man
Kevin
Great location, friendly staff.
Katherine
it cost more to have a terrible room by the air conditioning compressors. the toilet leaked. the parking is pay to park in a dirty scary high rise lot across from hotel and down the block. front desk staff was not attentive. the porter was a WONDERFUL person and seemed to do all the work. we didn't like the decor. the denim bedspreads were strange.

The staff was wonderful from check in to check out. The room was spacious. We enjoyed the rooftop bar with its pretty view and plentiful seating.
Wilson
Great value
Stephanie
Amazing hotel with great staff. Had an a/c issue when returning to our room at night, we were moved immediately to a bigger room and given breakfast vouchers for the next day. Staff was so helpful, cafe was great, and the rooftop bar/restaurant was a highlight! I was thoroughly impressed with every aspect and Durham Hotel will be my first choice next time we're in town. Thanks to all for making it a great stay!
Marjorie
Contemporary hotel in nice area. The public parking garage across the street was very convenient and free on weekends. Fun restaurants and bars in walking distance.
James A.
I really don’t know how in the world this place is 4 stars, but it felt like I was sleeping at a roadside motel. I will say the roof was nice, the drinks were good, but the rooms were terrible! my sink was leaking water all over the place and staff did NOTHING about it even after I called. There was absolutely no style to any of the rooms. And the staff was incredibly rude, even when I asked the man or women about cream from my coffee , they rolled their eyes and then barely made the effort to accommodate that simple request. This place is trash
Maritere
The property has an excellent location. Lobby has an absolutely unique vibe, great background music for hanging out or even light work. Breakfast was good and available for room service. Rooftop a plus. King corner room was great.
gerald
Nice clean hotel. Food (breakfast) was barely ok. No onsight valet or parking
Paul
So cool! You have to go here!
Laura
Clean hotel, friendly staff. Great location
Ahuti
Well maintained property
Nicole
Excellent food and drinks
Lisa
This is a decent hotel for its location, but I think they need to update the rooms. The space near the lobby is nice, but it’s a little confusing… Is it a lobby, is it a coffee shop, is it a bar?
Chris
Great place, but a special shout-out to their coffee program. Fresh ground beans at your door when you wake up? Yes. Next level.
Greg
Attentive and helpful staff. Very nice boutique hotel.
Takuya
The rooftop bar was nice but only opens in the evening. The main restaurant wasn’t anything special, the atmosphere was not what you would expect from the photos on their website and it felt more like a local diner. The service at the coffee bar was subpar. The front desk staff was fine but didn’t seem very professional. The bell staff didn’t bother to offer help with my luggage nor open the door for me when I arrived. The room had a nice view but overall outdated and lacked what you’d normally expect such as a smart TV. The daily fresh ground coffee to your room was nice but the add-ins and condiments like sugar, sweetener, milk, etc. were limited. Overall I was disappointed as I expected a lot more from the reviews.
Tarik
Great hotel, perfect location, close to the farmer’s market, downtown Durham, easy 20 min drive from the airport. Quiet, clean rooms. Excellent front desk person who went above and beyond to make sure to make us feel welcome. Free covered public parking during the week-end days. Not the first time we stay there and it will not be the last one! Thanks!
Daniel
This hotel promised so much and delivered so little. Staff were indifferent at best
George
Great coffee and food.
Candice
Enjoyed the roof top but long wait times. I had to 2 free drink tickets but they weren’t given to me at check in so I never used them. My room had all the set up for coffee including a coffee pot but no coffee or creamer. Otherwise enjoyed our stay.
DArci
We were lectured by the front desk when we checked in about using a third party to book our room. When housekeeping did our room, they did not replenish toilet paper or provide enough towels. The room is fair but very dark and cold feeling. Not impressed with this “4 star” hotel.
Hailey
The Front Desk staff was wonderful! They were helpful and kind. They made a huge difference in my stay. The room was nicely appointed, though it had a few wear and tear issues. The location was great.
Regina
Great location...staff was upbeat and polite...an older building but clean and styled nicely. Great rooftop bar and nearby is Queenie's for a delicious sandwhich and drink...also offering Kingfischer if you are looking for a fun cocktail, speakeasy vibe...would stay there again
David
Great staff. Amazing roof top and easy waking to everything.
Augustino
Roof Top Yoga was outstanding. Room and Shower were very nice. Parking easy. Great nearby walking distance restaurants
Courtney
Unique hotel, I love the layout of the rooms. It’s nice to have a separate living room
Gretchen
Stayed here for the proximity to MotorCo for a concert. Excellent location and property was excellent
William
This was a quick overnight stay for an event at DPAC. Location is great, parking is fine, hotel condition (room)- was below average.
gary
Funky and fun. Lots of thoughtful touches like getting to choose the time and type of coffee you’d like delivered to your room in the morning.
I’d stay again for sure.

The key to this hotel is the location in the heart of downtown Durham. It was a quick Uber ride for us to go anywhere, including the Duke game at Cameron Indoor Arena. Lots of good places to eat nearby. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The room was large and suited our needs. We enjoyed our stay and would happily return to The Durham Hotel.
Mark
Staff were delightful, room quiet, great location
ebony noelle

Keith
Everything would have been perfect but something was going on with the hot water. Hate to have a stay ruined by lukewarm/cold showers!
Kelley
The room was very nice, staff was very helpful, and it's a great location.
Robert
Quiet room, clean room and comfortable bed. Helpful and courteous staff
The best part was quiet AC/ heater; no unit at the window making noise all night.

Outstanding staff - professional, polite and welcoming. The hotel is in a wonderful location, a short walk from some of the best restaurants in Durham. The hotel lobby which serves as a dining area was packed on the holiday. Very clean, comfortable rooms; locally sourced toiletries and plenty of hot water. Five stars across the board and we look forward to our next stay.
linda
The hotel was extremely expensive and was just average. I was very underwhelmed. I had to pay a $100 per night deposit which I did not expect. It has been returned but it was an unexpected expense at the time. Parking is paid parking in a parking deck
Lauren Lee
We stayed here for NYE/New Year's Day, and the front desk team was incredible. They were personable, energetic, responsive, and kind.
The Suite is a great choice for a stay--it's spacious and perfectly situated in the hotel.
What a great place to close out 2025 and ring in 2026!

Mary
Simple amenities seemed to be missed here. Small terrible coffee was served in the lobby for free but if you wanted to pay a great coffee bar and breakfast lunch is served in the lobby. Was also not allowed to sit in the huge lobby with outside food. Even though I spent 4 nights there and ate at the coffee bar several times. There should be some place to sit with your own food like every other hotel. You have to fill out a slip each night to get coffee delivered to your room each day. Why not just have some coffee in your room. No microwave, vending machine or ice machine in this hotel. Was forced to switch rooms after first night due to cleaning schedule. One shower had barely any water pressure, 2nd room had heavy painful water pressure. Grout in first shower was very dirty. Was definitely not worth the price. Location was one of the main reasons I stayed here due to it’s proximity to relatives and walkability.
Edwin
Staff was the Best. Housekeeper was so kind and thoughtful.
Kevin
Great downtown location. Room was clean. Staff friendly. Walkable to the Carolina Theatre.
nadav
Great stay. Very nice boutique hotel.
Greg
Great staff, Nice decor, Excellent breakfast and coffees!
Maureen
Hotel in a great location and staff was great. Rooms clean etc. However, they have a lot of events going on during stay that limit access to various areas during stay. Roof top bar was closed for private party but we didn’t know until we went to access. The coffee bar area was closed so there was no place to relax with a cocktail in the hotel after a long day.
The rooftop bartender did bring us drinks in the lobby area for the inconvenience but by then they were vacuuming around our feet.
We booked based on location and roof top and disappointed access wasn’t available nor was it posted in advance of our stay.

Sherry
Clean room. Easy check in and check out. Friendly staff. The only disappointment was the rooftop bar was closed for an event.
Ross
Perfect location, friendly staff, clean room and comfortable bed. Stay would have been a 5 but no hot water in the shower after only a few minutes.
Jeanne
What a wonderful stay! The valet at checkin was extremely courteous and helpful with our bags as we checked in. The front desk gave us great dinner recommendations within walking distance. The coffee bar made excellent drinks for after dinner, and we had coffee bean service arrive by our door in the morning. We definitely chose the right place for our stay.
Michelle
Stay was okay. Elevator would not stop on 4th floor had to take stairs. Bedside lights would not work.
Jeri
I was disappointed with the lackluster rooms and lack of room amenities (if you like minimalist, this is your place) for the amount we paid. To the hotel’s credit, I did see pictures on the website so I don’t know what I expected. The lobby was fantastic. I loved the floor to ceiling windows that allowed lots of light to come into the space. And, the assortment of board games was a nice touch. When I booked the room, I missed that we could have gotten a senior discount and so I asked for it upon check in, but to no avail. We were told credits could not be given once we had paid. I guess I felt penalized for paying up front. I think it would have been a nice touch (made us feel really appreciated) to go ahead and credit us. It also listed on the booking that we would each get a free drink (2) and we had to firmly request this at the bar. It wasn’t much of a problem after we explained, but the servers seemed confused about why we didn’t have a token?!? One server charged us and said we would get credited upon check out. I was a bit skeptical since we had been told payments already made couldn’t be credited but after we asked for it when we checked out, it was expeditiously taken off the bill. Overall, we won’t stay again due to the cost for what you get.
David
Check-in was terrible. They didn't have the rooms that I reserved and said there was nothing that they could do because they were sold out. Parking is down the block and in a highrise parking lot that might be best described as \"sketchy.\" There is only one elevator in the hotel so the wait is incredibly long -- we ended up getting escorted to the kitchen elevator behind the coffee shop. The bathrooms are quite beat-up with pealing paint around the door bottoms.
Elizabeth
For the price of the room it was decent - no frills hotel room that they tried to dress up with a couple of cute toiletries. Had to ask housekeeping to re-clean the toilet and they were very courteous and on top of it. Otherwise, I see no benefit to booking this hotel over a Marriott.
Cheryl
Nasty nasty bed bugs
Cara
We loved our stay at The Durham hotel. We've stayed in several hotels in the area, and this is our favorite to date. All staff members we interacted with were amazing!
Allison
Great location, cute room, parking not on site.
kristen
Staff was great, room was clean and really quiet. I liked the way they did coffee in the am because you have to have real cream!
Gina
The only reason The Durham is not receiving 5 stars is that the other guests were obnoxiously loud from 2am to 430 am. I called and complained twice. The noise continued way too long. The night shift person made the excuse for the noisy party stating they just came from a party on their roof top bar and stated she would make a note for the first shift staff. When I checked out, the first shift staff had no record of my complaint.
Scott
Very clean, great location and extremely friendly staff. Can't wait to go back!
Becky
Don’t get an obstructed room - it’s similar to a jail cell. Res of the hotel (lobby/rooftop) is lovely.
Jo
Perfect place to stay for an easy walk to see a show at the charming Carolina Theater. Food, service and atmosphere were outstanding.

Love the decor. A wonderful surprise.

Parking was down and across the street.Immediately walked into loud music in the lobby from a DJ. Could not hear the front desk person giving instructions. He gave us keys to a room on the 3rd floor but wrote 5th floor room number. Had us trying to enter someone’s room. Elevators work out of order so we had to use the service elevator. We were told we could order coffee with room service but we received items to MAKE coffee which is not how it was described. We wanted to try a different hotel experience but I fired this one wasn’t for us
Andrew
Our room was wonderful and the staff were friendly and responsive. There was some work being done do we had to use the service elevator for our whole stay. We're already talking about our next trip to Durham and our next stay will be here.
Eric

linda
Great stay
The Hotel was in a great location to walking, restaurants, bars. Hotel was well kept although could use some upgrades. The food in both restaurants was amazing. The Rooftop Bar had the best cheeseboard at 10pm! Our room in the first night was on the side of the bar Queenies open till 2am so we didn’t sleep well. The hotel moved out room the next night and upgraded us. Service was great and the coffee bar is open all the time for coffee- excellent pastries and candies and beer! Great stay

Terry
This is the place to stay
The staff was great. Ezra at the desk was a complete pro. They were dealing with a minor issue the day we checked in but the whole staff made it a non issue. Location is perfect, nice sized rooms and dont miss the rooftop for a cocktail and some small bites.

a delightful engaging staff with from greeting and check-in. Offered a great restaurant recommendation. I will certainly stay again when returning to Durham NC

Great location, park at the deck across the street (free on weekends/$25 weekdays)- walk to tons of great restaurants downtown. Very cool boutique hotel details like fresh ground coffee dropped at your door in the mornings, and tray of local Durham-made snacks in the room for reasonable prices. Some biological looking stains on our sofa were offputting and our robes had some stains as well. Our carpet in the room had a big bleached out spot at the entrance. The cleaning isn’t impeccable- but I definitely felt the bed linens, towels, and shower/bathroom were clean. Bed was comfy, room was quiet. The desk staff brought up water and ice when we needed it, they were also very friendly and helped with making recommendations. We were celebrating an anniversary and the hotel sent up a kind gift for our special occasion. Would stay again.

Nice service, meh rooms.
Isaac at the front desk was excellent. Nice to comp 2 free drinks because it was my birthday! The Superior King room was spacious but quite scant and not so \"updated\". Adding modern sofa and chair does not constitute a renovation. Walls are bare. TV isn't a smart tv. Not a mirror in the living part of the room - bizarre esp with empty walls. Women need natural light for makeup and that's not offered in the bathroom. Mildew in shower grout. No USB charging options. a/c makes a weird noise with compressor cycling on and off all night. Didn't try the restaurant or rooftop. Lots of noise from the street until 10pm from the banging drums outside.

Durham Bullls Game
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. Front desk check in was very smooth. The front desk clerk was very helpful with info about the hotel and also provided me the rain out number for the Durham Bulls baseball game. Only knock I had was the room didnt get as cold as I'd like. Wasn't miserably hot just not as cold as it should be
Margaret
Very conveniently located and had a decent breakfast.
George
Once again a great stay!! Front desk is so friendly. Had a great time at the rooftop bar and breakfast was amazing.
Susann
We loved the location of the hotel and all of the special touches. We really enjoyed the ground local coffee delivered each morning and the coffee bar in the lobby. The snack bar in the room had local products for purchase, and there was a complimentary Burt’s Bees (another local company) hand balm in the room. The rooftop bar is a lot of fun and the hotel is near lots of shops and restaurants. The staff is super friendly and helpful and the hotel is very clean - extremely important to us!! You will love staying here!
Arthur
Good hotel right in downtown. Cool architecture. Splendid public spaces; lobby and rooftop. Large room, pretty spare. Serious about their coffee. Would have been nice if staff had assisted us unloading to check in during a torrential downpour. Several staff standing around inside. No one assisted. Had to come in to borrow umbrella.
Paul
Hotel was great. We ended up in the elevator somehow with two of Durhams wannabe thugs. (2 mouthy women) coming from the rooftop bar. That wanted to get smart , we laughed it off but for the money shouldn’t have to deal with the rif raf.

Had a great time at the Durham Hotel. The elevator was a little nerve wracking but everything else was great. Service was excellent and everything we needed was in walking distance.

It was a good night's stay. The food in the cafe was excellent for dinner, the service attentive. A minor problem was addressed swiftly and well. We will return.

Great property! Perfect place to stay when you have events in Durham

Overnight stay for a concert.
Came for a concert at the Carolina Theater & it was literally a 5 minute walk. Great minimalist boutique hotel. Spacious room. Lobby had a cool mid-century feel. Very friendly staff. Fun rooftop bar with cool views. Would definitely stay here again.
