Nice Place To Stay In York

Jon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent, relaxing stay.

Although you do have to spend £10 for car parking, you do get breakfast, a swimming pool and steam room, thrown in. Creaky floors, but room very comfortable and staff were friendly and helpful. Would stay here again, which is always the best recommendation.

Nic

Service was good, the lady waiting at breakfast was very attentive and the food was lovely. The welcome was also good. `the wifi worked very well. The room was ok, needing refreshed. However, the bathroom was disappointing, and the shower location is no good, especially for someone tall.

Lovely place to stay.

Really enjoyed my brief stay. Hotel has charm and character. Staff were brilliant: friendly, helpful, and made me feel very welcome. Room was well-equipped and clean. Hotel was quiet at night. Situated in comvenient location for railway station and city centre.

Good value and close to train station. Bonus of a swimming pool.
L, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I enjoyed the stay, particularly use of a drcent sized pool and a steam room. Cooked breakfast was excellent. Staff were warm and welcoming. The hotel itself is a little dated and could do with a sympathetic makeover of the decor. It is located about 25 - 30 minutes walk to the city centre, but there is a bus service from just opposite.
Heather, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Warm welcome

Staff very helpful and friendly- breakfast was great too. The hotel is welcoming and warm, decor is a little tired, but the rooms have character 😊
Sarah, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It was fine. Don’t expect anything too fancy, but the price is reflective of the quality of the property. They need to be fairer with their check-in deadline of 10pm. I arrived 15 minutes before this and the front desk staff member said she was about to lock up!
Dean, 1-night trip
