Good stay
Good stay. About 30 min walk into York centre. We walked down the river into York which was much nicer than down the main road but takes about extra 5 mins. Room had everything we needed for a 1 night stay. Comfy bed and pillow. Plus car park is handy. Check in system was smooth.

A late change of plans meant i needed a last minute room in york on a bank holiday Sunday. This was cheap and in reasonable walking distance to rhe centre, about 20 mins brisk walk. I had low expectations however was pleasantly surprised, room small but clean with a minu fridge, complimentary tea/coffee making facilities, complimentary bottle of water and even had a hairdryer in the room. For the price paid excellent value for a single night.

Good clean comfortable room. Check in was a bit difficult as it is done over the phone and the guy was a bit stroppy. Apart from that room was pleasant, easy access and free parking was great.

It was hard to get hold to someone on the phone to check in, I am pregnant and I needed to go to the toilet as soon as, the person who I managed to speak to had issues with the system and took longer to give me the codes to access.
Then about an hour after, while I was at a Dr appointment I received a message saying that I have to leave the room, all very random, they took my last name wrong and gave me the wrong number but there is no need to send a message like that and get me all into panic.
Apart of that the room was fine, just that didn’t have any other light more than the main one, so if you want to read in bed then take your own lamp.

Nice place to stay
I don't care about some negative review in this place. All I need is a place to sleep with while spending my holiday in York. And this place is perfect. It has everything I need (towel, toiletries, refreshments). Very clean and tidy. Nice toilet and shower. Location, it is very near in bus stops that could take you in a few minutes to the city center. I enjoy my stay here as much as I enjoy traveling York. I just want a little suggestion to atleast have a microwave oven so we can buy ready to eat foods. Besides that.. everything is perfect.

Comfy beds
Checkin required calling a mobile number which was awkward from our Australian mobile sim. Thankfully I had data so could find the UK area code to use to make the call.
Due to traffic noise it was just a bit hard to hear the instructions. Once given the code for the room it was easy to manage.
I would have preferred the instructions been emailed or SMS through.
The room was upstairs and the beds were soft and comfortable which was wonderful.
There was a small fridge. ( No freezer)
The toilet hadn’t been cleaned behind the seat and a dark syrupy liquid had accumulated (not cleaning product) and the shower head was very mouldy.
Being an older building noise reverberated from other guests using the property however this settled before midnight :)
It was a nice walk through the park into town, and was close to Aldi.

The Emerald Residence is a good option for a slightly cheaper stay in York, as it's a bus ride from the centre. Buses are regular (Route 7 to the Park & Ride or route 415 to Selby depart from different points in the city centre - route 7 is the one to use from the railway station, but there are no buses early on Sunday morning).
My room was clean and spacious, and did not face the main road so there was no traffic noise. Initial entry requires two codes - one for the front door and one for the bedroom; these were given by phone, so if you don't have a UK mobile phone (or roaming) this could be a slight problem. Once inside there's a keycard to use for access so you don't need to remember the codes,
One thing to note: alcohol is strictly forbidden to be consumed on the premises.
The area is generally quiet; there's a small Coop store about 5 minutes' walk away that has long opening hours.

Handy for the ciy
Well priced handy stopover for York city centre with free parking. November time of year. The toom was a bit on the cold side but an electric heater was included to help.
Ensuite, everything worked. Remote check -in was a breeze.
