7 Star Service Quality and Location

I was stayed about 18 nights, the building and the is very very classy and luxurious. The apartment is so so clean and comfortable. The service quality that landlord provide to the tenants is superb, till a degree that you feel shy to request from them anything. In terms of location, it is the heart of Durham, Indigo Hotel is in from of the Building, Marriott Hotel is next to the building where you can take your coffee from Starbucks, Patrick’s Pizza is one minute away where you can find the best pizza during the night time, the Mosque of Old Elvet in 2 minutes away. Overall location, service quality, and cleanliness is 15/10, yes 5 of the score is bonus without any hesitation. I highly recommend this place for families and people who visit Durham for work.

Location was excellent and parking was good The apartment was clean but it didn’t smell very nice. I think it was the shower drain. Although an apartment for 4 people it only had 3 mugs and one of those was badly chipped and shouldn’t be used. There were only 2 small water glasses .Each bed only had one bedside lamp. Overall it was not comfortable and I expected better

Accommodation information is misleading, pictures are not reflective. The Wolsey is accessed through a back entrance off a small car park. The only ground floor window is the entrance door which faces the car forecourt, no openings. The Wolsey has no access to the rest of the period building. The room rate is very high given the low standard of bed/mattress, towels and cleanliness. There is a significant drain odor that permeates the entire area. Car parking space is not guaranteed, the general public use the car park. This is likened to student accommodation.

Perfect location

Location is perfect, walking in the town within minutes. We managed to park at the back with no problems but there is on street if needed. Bedrooms large and so quiet, Showers excellent and the living area and kitchen large and spacious, could have done with a few dishwasher tabs but that’s just a minor grumble!

A very nice and modern apartment with all the facilities and very smooth check in process. Very close to the center and everything accessible in a walking distance. A couple of minor things to be improved to make the stay even better. Slightly more careful with the cleanliness as were some spots needed more attention but not something that is not possible to stay in. The toiletries should be supplied in a daily base or provide sufficient for the stay. We stayed for two nights and the 2nd day we run out of shower gel.

Brilliant accommodation

Really lovely apartment and ideal for what we needed. Much bigger inside than expected and the location is excellent. We only managed to get one of the free parking spaces on one of our days stay but could park on the street directly outside which was a reasonable cost. Kitchen had everything we needed. We would consider this accommodation again,

We had a wonderful stay here! Andy the property manager was so helpful in every regard. We stayed for my daughter's graduation and we arrived to Champagne and Truffles, it was above and beyond and we very much appreciated it. A wonderful stay and a wonderful team running 52 Old Elvet!

Really comfortable flat in the very centre of Durham. Tall celiling, gorgeous big sash windows, nicely furnished. Immaculately clean. Excellent bathroom and very well-equipped kitchen. My only criticism (and it is a small but crucial one) is the duvet. It was horribly lumpy and clumpy. We had a fabulous stay. Thank you.

Spacious Clean and Great Location

Great location, just minutes walk from the centre of town but really quiet (quiet enough to sleep with the windows open). Lots of space and well stocked with everything you need

Great place to stay in Durham

This was a great place to stay close to the center of town though very quiet and just a few steps from the river. The staff was great and considered all our needs and responded promptly when we had an issue or a question.

The apartment was very comfortable and spacious and a perfect location for visiting Durham. There was plenty of parking close to the apartment and everything was within walking distance.

This is a charming older inn-type property, but it's been thoroughly modernized, and it is located right at the edge of everything going on in central Durham. Lovely stay.
