Lovely place, especially when it's a 10-15 minute walk into Durham. Bar area was friendly staff were lovely.

This was a fine hotel to stay in for a couple days, and the people working there were friendly and helpful. Shared bathroom was clean enough for the most part, as was the little kitchen used. Towels, coffee, tea, and TV were in the room, which was nice, and the bed was comfortable. It's not a fancy hotel, but works for solo traveller looking for inexpensive accommodation. 20 min walk to city centre and buses run right by the hotel.

Property felt filthy and unclean with the exception of the bed which was decently comfy and sheets clean. I had a shared bathroom stay and it was dirty in there with hair in the shower and dirty shower curtains etc. I didnt feel good staying there other than just sleep the night.

The room was very pleasant as were the staff. The only issue was the music in the bar below is on until 11.30pm, which would be a problem if you needed an early night.

Book 2 nights in a superior room!! So bad we had to abandon and book elsewhere. The music from the bar was SO LOUD and didn't cease until 25 past midnight. Then the goodbyes and tidying up noise began for another 30 minutes. Didn't sleep a wink! Nobody available the following morning to discuss and no answer to calls or emails. Broken glass in car park, broken windows and the beer garden was 2 dirty broken and rotten wooden bench tables. DO Not Book to stay here!!!

It was good. Its a budget place but as budget places go i was surprised it was very nice. I was in an en suite.

The shared bathroom was usually too wet to use from where other occupants had not positioned the shower curtain within the bath - so all spray was on the floor.

No welcome and bar staff didn't respond when we arrived. They just stayed in the other side of the bar.
A 'local' had to tell us to check-in around the back of the bar, but there was no signage for this.
Rooms of same classification/cost have different specifications which aren't stated.
No chance of a good sleep/rest.
On handover of keys, we were warned that there may be noise until 11.30, when the pub shuts, but this went on until after 00.30 with raised voices arguing and swearing up until this time.
We definitely don't expect anything too fancy, but we won't be returning.

hotel was clean and comfortable but our room was above smoking area and even when pub is ment to close at 11:30 group of people sat in smoking area well after 2am shouting and arguing right outside our window sadly is only thing that dampens the stay.

I stayed for just two nights at the Queens Head.
The room i stayed in was decent & i was happy with until i checked the mattress which was soiled, dirty & stained sadly.
The kitchen facilities available for guests to use was pleasing.
The Queens Head bar is great although as a hotel i would not recommend or stay there again.
This is not only because of the dirty bed mattress
It is down to the noise from bar downstairs & busy road noise outside.
Furthermore The Queens Head is an overpriced Hotel & simply not good value for my money afterall.

This was an overnight stay whilst I was in the area for work. It was quiz nighy in the pub below and the sound on the PA system must have been deafening for the contestants as it was very loud for me, especially in the music round.

At check i asked would they be turning the heating on in the room during my stay. Yes the receptionist replied. Unfortunately this was not the case. The room was very cold and to the best of my knowledge the radiator was never turned on in the room having felt it a large number of times. Ended up having to sleep fully clothed and still wasn't warm enough.
Room and shared bathroom facilities were very good overall.

AVOID!!!
What a shame, having stayed previously we wanted to give return business to this pub. Arrived and welcomed given key to room. That was the only thing good about our experience.
The bedroom we were in was a family room which had seen better days, the mattress on the double bed was broken. We requested a non smoking room but might as well have not bothered because the amount of smoke in the corridor that then came into the room was constant.
Bathroom was OK but very tired. The kitchenette should be condemned. Two fridges to use but not cleaned, when we stayed their was old mouldy food in both and they were just generally dirty.
Music from the bar was loud as they have changed into a sports bar which they do not list on online booking platforms.
I don't expect glamour for the cost we paid but I do expect a response from the owner. Sadly they have IGNORED all my emails as well as all the calls from the booking site to discuss our stay.
Such a shame
