There are many hotels in the city of Durham, but choosing a central one makes life a lot easier. Here are a few reasons why:

1. Central hotels are usually located in the city centre, close to all the main attractions and amenities. This means you won’t have to spend ages getting around on public transport or fighting through crowds of tourists.

2. Most central hotels offer great value for money, as they’re in high demand and tend to be better equipped than their out-of-town counterparts.

3. Many central hotels have on-site restaurants and bars, meaning you can save money on food and drinks. And if you need to work or catch up on some sleep, most rooms have Wi-Fi and air conditioning.

4. Finally, central hotels are often in close proximity to other transport links, such as railway stations and airports, making it easy to get to and from your accommodation.
