Sarah
Lovely period hotel- nice food and friendly staff. Also lot of nice restaurants nearby- we went to a Mexican place that was particularly delicious! Only negative was the poor wifi, but despite that would return if ever in the area again
Edward
Fan in room was faulty and not usable. We were informed it would be replaced within an hour it was not. Room incredibly hot due to weather - unable to cool it. Basic hotel but was clean
Tom
Lovely hotel with friendly helpfull staff !
Mark
The hotel still looks great from the outside. The bar, lounges and reception looking modern and clean. But the room I had felt dated and in need of a fresh decoration. Wallpaper coming lose on the ceiling. Floorboards lose. Bathroom you could see sealant had been applied many times around the bath to stop leaks.
I may be looking at the details to much, but newer hotels you do not see any repair jobs.
Breakfast was great as well.
Just needs some TLC in some of the bedrooms, to bring back to the high standard you expect from this hotel.

Duncan Bannatyne need to invest some of his wealth into this place, its old and tired. Stayed a few times just due to connivence of location. Rooms especially bathrooms need updating. Bedrooms are cold in winter and red hot summer. Staff are helpful and welcoming. Breakfast not too bad, they try and offer to upsell for an extra £10 for anything not on buffet (except they don't charge if you ask them to make poached eggs) having a free carpark helps, although it is small. One quirk they don't clean your room unless you request it doing - one to remember if staying a few nights.
julie
A nice stay.
Matthew
Beautiful period property with tall ceilings and all the usual lovely period features. Friendly, helpful staff. Hearty breakfast buffet every morning and evening meals were also very tasty. Stayed in an Executive Room which was very spacious, warm and well kitted out. Biscuits, coffee bags, tea and hot chocolate plus bottle wated provided in the rooms. Fast and efficient check-in and check-out. Would be very pleased to stay again if in the area.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Greg
Very old building, cold room. Decor was dated, room was spacious. Conveniently located for city centre, but not worth the cost.
Christopher
Clean, with very friendly staff
Barry
Very comfortable stay. Rooms clean and well appointed though not exactly spacious. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good buffet breakfast and restaurant serving evening meals every day.
Daniel
Nice hotel but uncomfortable mattress
Stanley
Very well presented hotel, excellent cleanliness and overall standard. Minor comment - bar overlit for relaxing evening drink.

Mr Karl
Great staff, so helpful and friendly. Great breakfast, comfy room. The room was just quite hot and can only open window a fraction due to safety reasons (totally understandable) but no fan provided. Would happily stay here again though.
Lorna
Fantastic Team, warm welcome, clean, comfortable and great food!
Amanda

Kai
The hotel is a bit tired-looking and could do with a refurb for sure, especially the rooms. It was also somehow way too hot during the night (which others I was traveling with also pointed out). The room was clean.
Staff is friendly, we had a good chat when I was checking out.

This is a proper hotel in the old school way. Courteous staff and a lovely feel, comfy bed, no parking charges, lovely restaurant and superb breakfast. Well done Mr Bannatyne. I will definitely come again.
Christopher
Check in staff were nice, strange things like no contactless available though having to pass card over.
Main issue was the room though, I'd stayed at this hotel some years ago and chose it as i had an impression they were a bit nicer - somewhat of a treat.
I won't stay again though, the room was tired, decorated poorly (the paint was sorta splashed outside the lines in bathroom, very weird

Ross
Whilst the Bannatyne name tends to mean premium sports clubs/hotels etc.. i wouldn't describe this as a particularly premium place. Saying that, the room was well sized and bed comfy. Our bathroom happened to be an accessible one so it was huge but not exactly luxury shall we say.
The free/included breakfast in nice. Coffee was good, sausages seemed premium and overall I enjoyed it. Service wise they were a small team quite rushed about, which I guess is pretty normal. You weren't seen to at the table really. More of a feeling that they hope you don't need anything.
There was an event on with a disco of some kind but I heard absolutely nothing. I would stay again for £90-£100 if in the area and needed something reliable. There was parking.. although it's not advertised, so not sure what that's about.
It's very close to the centre. We were a stones throw from Babul's Indian restaurant where we had food that night.

Good restaurant and service
Facilities looking a bit tired and dated but nice and clean. Was impressed with vegan options on the dinner menu and the quality of the food was very good overall. Service was also very good.
Shame that the spa is a mile away so didn’t bother to use it. Parking a bit tricky. Prob won’t use again as didn’t like the location, but was convenient for us as a one night stopover in a long journey. Pluses are definitely dinner and lovely service.

Decent hotel in Darlington
Decent hotel in Darlington, although the gym is not on-site and this isn't very clear when booking. Could probably do with some updating, my room felt a little bit dated - but was comfortable. Car-park was a good size and I was able to park ons-it no problem.
Samuel
My bedroom was clean and comfortable, with an incredibly comfortable bed. However, the bathroom was poorly maintained and in need of renovation. The black grouting and stained bathtub made it an unpleasant space.
Akin
What you see is definitely not what you get! The hotel and its facilities are tired and desperately needs a makeover.
The room had a bad smell, the extractor in the bathroom was not working and no air conditioning just a small pesky and ineffective fan.
Would have scored lower but for the hotel staff (except the receptionist when we checked in) were friendly and courteous.
I will not be staying in a Bannatyne hotel again anytime soon.

Bathroom a bit shabby. Needs modernising and finishing off properly. Room was okay
gareth
Highly recommend
Great stay for a business traveller clean,tidy and plenty of character. Access to a great gym too…..
Sophie
Lovely 4 poster bed room.
Hotel was lovely the room was beautiful with 4 poster bed. The only thing I would say is that you don’t get to use the pool or spa and when I booked it. It didn’t say you had to pay extra on the booking at the time so that was abit disappointing. Apart from that location is great. We walked into Darlington for dinner.
gareth
Great for business travel

NO SPA
This hotel does NOT have a spa. Hotel.com is deliberately misleading on this point. The spa is a 15-20min walk or 5-10min drive. Hotels.com is aware but still haven't changed the info. you are made aware of this on the hotels own website but that's not useful when booking through hotels.com. Other than that a perfectly nice hotel.
Gabriele
A traditional hotel, in a central position. With polite staff and good service.
Chris
Really like staying here, always feels warm and friendly, staff are lovely, bath is always hot, showers are powerful, food is lovely and well priced. I stay in Darlington quite often and wouldnt dream of going anywhere else
Paul
Tired room & expensive room rate
Hotel was cold on arrival & our bedroom was extremely cold also. I was able to turn the radiator on, something I think could have been done prior to our arrival.
The room was clean but sadly very tired, smelt old & had cracks in bathroom floor and a wardrobe that was really small that wouldn’t fit our clothes in, due to the iron & ironing board, iron, extra pillows and blankets stored inside. After a 3 hour journey- arriving at 830am no mention of any restaurant availability & a rushed checkin
Wake-up call was asked for, but that never happened. In the morning we also had 3 ladybirds in the room crawling on the ceiling, . the hotel could do with some refurbishment to bring it up to 2025!! As it is very dated and an expensive room rate.

Always really good, food lovely, great rooms, always clean
Michael
We assumed there would be a lift so didn't think to ask for ground floor. That would have been very beneficial.
Also although the room was ok we assumed as we were told it was an upgrade it would be a little better e.g some bottled water in room etc. food, service and cleanliness all splendid though

Not bad but a bit one the cool side in December
The room was spotless and the bed comfortable. Room was a bit on the cold side better than too warm. Breakfast was okay but I’ve had better.
Location is good easy access to town centre if your catching a train you need to allow 30 mins from checking out of the hotel to been on the platform which is a leisurely walk for an able bodied person.
It’s a 10 minute walk to local auction.
Staff were helpful without been over the top.

John
Stayed at this hotel before, tucked out of the way but close enough to the local shops and pubs/Restaurants. staff were pleasant andcattentive, nice spacious comfy room, Breakfast was clean and tasty with a wide choice, all in all a good stay, my only slight negative is the parking, spaces are limited, however if people parked sensibly and not selfishly , there would be ample space .
Peter
In a good location for the town and visiting local family
Paul
Looking a little tired in places. Breakfast which used to be a key guality of the hotel has now deteriorated completely and could be a Premier Inn or even less.
have stayed and put visitors in the hotel since it opened when I ran Whessoe ( a local company).
Thankfully a return to individually served breakfasts is an easy fix and hopefully they will consider this suggestion.

Nearly perfect
The Bannatyne hotel is perfectly located for a great night out in Darlington. With a 5 minute walk your in the town centre. My room was clean, bed was comfy, staff were really nice and helpful, breakfast was plentiful and tasty. My one and only criticism is that there Menu doesn't cater for people who just want a lite bite like sandwiches and chips, or wraps or quick salad. They only do a set Menu.

We enjoyed our stay
Mr Karl
A good hotel with excellent staff and clean rooms. Only let down by breakfast as every item on the buffet was at best lukewarm. I was on a tight time schedule so couldn’t complain and get fresh food. However, surely staff should be checking this, using temperature probes etc?
Simon

Well situated within walking distance of Darlington Town Centre.
Sally
The property was really noisey, particularly in the bedrooms. When the kitchen door closed our bed shook! We had a spacious room but only a single wardrobe and no drawer space, there was sufficient space in the room to accommodate a set of drawers. Our room wasn’t cleaned on two days out of the 6 that I stayed there which was disappointing as it meant no milk or tea bags. Breakfast staff were great.
mark
Nice property and surrounding areas at a good price, stayed in room 16 the main light was out.

Phillip
Ideally situated for our needs, also close enough to city.
Hotel was nicely kept and the staff were friendly and helpful.
We only had breakfast in the restaurant but it was well cooked and prompt. If we need to go to Darlington again we’ll definitely stay here again.

Caroline
Property is looking tired in places with DIY in bedroom very evident - paint on sockets, flaking paint on ceiling. TV was a challenge to get it to work but was good once going. Car park was a nightmare with no defined parking spaces so Amish mash if parking angles and areas. Staff and breakfast were great though
Lynsey
We had a comfortable stay with a delicious breakfast. The room was dated, the bathroom in particular seemed untouched since 80s/90s. Bed was very comfortable and we had a great night sleep. Communal areas were great. (It can be a little tricky to find your room) Myles was a fantastic host during the wedding we attended and also at breakfast!

Good with room for improvement
Hotel was generally good all round but a couple of points let it down.
1. Check in took a while as only one receptionist who was on phone and took an age.
2. Bar had large TV but would only allow sub titles while people in restaurant and wouldn’t even all sound on low!!
