Hotel 119 - not a hotel, more a hostel
Reviewed By Sue JI stayed here one night en route from Durham to London. I will try to start off being kind here. The 'hotel' was clean - I will give them that. First impressions, however, are not great as you are directed off the main street to the back of the building next to the car park and bins. Check in is only from 2-7pm, which actually is really problematic if you have a long commute or cannot otherwise arrive by 7pm. Seemingly no reception cover after that. Most rooms, including mine were not en suite. This meant wandering around the building in your night time / morning look searching for bathrooms - which were not that plentiful. I stopped packing a hairdryer and shampoo a while ago when staying at hotels as they are (usually) provided. Except not here. As well as no reception staff after 7pm, no breakfast either there was a communal kitchen with fridges, microwaves etc which looked promising. Tea / coffee and milk supplied but no breakfast. And my room? Up in the loft space overlooking the main high street. Quandary whether to shut the window to cut out some street noise but then try to sleep in a stuffy, hot but quieter room (which I couldn't) or leave it open but risk night time intruders and the street noise of gangs of (no doubt) high spirited male youths pacing outside the High Street with sorry looking take aways plus a betting shop. More irritants: next door neighbours (and my) door squeaking on use, waking me up - just needs some WD40. Bedside lamp not working. Fitted sheet too small for the bed. Best I can say is stop thinking of this as a hotel - you will be disappointed. Think of it as a shared house, full of rambling warren-like rooms more akin to a hostel - and you might feel OK.

Amazing hotel, very clean and friendly
Reviewed By jackcJFT97This is my first ever review online, but I genuinely felt the Greenbank Hotel deserved a recommendation. I stayed there for 5 weeks whilst looking for accommodation and it was the most reasonable price in the area. The hotel was only a stone throw away from the hospital, which was ideal for work purposes. Also, Darlington town centre was less than a 10 minute walk making the cost even more attractive. The hotel is a family run business and their personal service made it feel like a home from home. They are willing to go the extra mile, as the owner even personally showed me around the nearby amenities and parks to help me really settle in the town. The outdoor area is very nicely designed and relaxing, particularly in the sun, and they also have a military bar with a range of sports being televised The breakfast menus included in the price offered great variety and would genuinely rate the cooked breakfast as 10/10. They also provided a wide selection of freshly cooked meals in the evening for a very reasonable price, which was ideal after returning from work and flexible around my timetable. My En-suite room was spacious and more than what I needed, as I had 3 beds to myself! My room was also provided with a smart TV which made it even better. The mattresses are extremely comfy and all newly fitted. Clothes washing and ironing facilities were also included in the price and there were no issues with the WIFI speed. A lot of people were staying there throughout the 5 weeks. The owners are down to earth and I would recommend this hotel to anyone that wants an authentic experience in Darlington. They are very accommodating to people who are also looking for longer-term deals. Thank you Greenbank!

First class Sunday lunch
Reviewed By deeb457Fantastic Sunday lunch and excellent service from Leanne. We both chose the white onion soup, scrummy, followed by roast beef. The beef was beautifully pink and melted in the mouth. So flavoursome. Wonderfully topped off with a scrumptious fresh Yorkshire pudding.

Cash Cow for absent owner.
Reviewed By dogsbody2000Poorly run it use to be the heart and soul of the village until an owner who is never at the establishment is happy to bleed it dry and reap the benefits. It needs a massive shake up demoralised staff and terrible management from a person who has a serious attitude problem towards people majority of the time. What it needs in a nutshell is a bit of love and care and thus place will thrive as it did back in the days of old. Brewery need to step in and sort out this sinking ship.

Popped in. Stayed for hours

8. The Old Tailor
Overall Ratings
4 based on 34 reviews
Large Double rooms with en-suite; great location in town center. Building is a old converted tailor's shop that was commissioned to make uniforms in the beginning of the British passenger railways. Now converted oppressing luxury room only accommodation in the very centre of town, giving you the freedom to sample our many restaurants.
Charming but noisy
Reviewed By Emms8973We stayed here during a visit to the Croft Nostalgia festival 2016. We booked for two nights, but, after a very loud, drunken guest above us was wandering around over the creaky floorboards and being sick all night, we abandoned our booking and found another hotel. The room was clean and bright and the staff seemed nice enough. There was plenty of hot water and tea/coffee facilities etc. And I understand that an old building will have quirks, but there was no soundproofing at all and it made for a very uncomfortable night. If you're a light sleeper I would avoid it at all costs, otherwise it's a cheap and cheerful hotel that does the job.
