Debra, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

This is a budget hotel so bear this in mind. The property is not modern which is not an issue but does need to be cleaner. The staff member was very polite and check in was quick. The parking was good and the location only about 10 mins walk into centre. Did not eat here so can’t comment on that.

Nice friendly staff, good location. Breakfast was as I would make it, eggs over cooked. Decor could do with a refresh, but all in all stay was pleasant and welcoming
Darren, 1-night trip

This apartment was spacious and quiet. Clean, well-appointed bathroom and kitchen with lovely views and a short walk to the beautiful river path. I would go out of my way to stay here again!

Fiona, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Cute place in York

Large space for family and the staff were kind and informative!
Christen, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Friendly traditional Inn, good full English breakfast. Great location to walk into the City along the river, free parking also a bonus. Rooms are comfortable but the age of the building perhaps explains why the bathrooms and showers are dated. Enjoyed my second stay there and outside of building has been freshly painted.
Warren, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Phillip, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Very friendly staff Lovely bar Good location.
Gareth, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

It's basic accommodation. Very dated throughout, needs a lick of paint and new carpets.. Bathroom was quite good however and very clean. Bedsheets and towels had some stains. If you have a room facing the road, take earplugs or your sleep will be interrupted frequently. Overall for the price I was happy. I just needed a place to put my head for the night. Would not recommend for a long stay however.
Gavin, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Very handy for York centre. Good atmosphere in bar. Basic but happy to use again.
