8. No.1 by GuestHouse, York

Clifton, 0.7 km from National Railway Museum

"The whole hotel is incredibly dirty and run down. There were hairs all over the bed and floors, stains on the walls, and peeling paint everywhere. The staff were incredibly kind and friendly, and whilst orders arrived incorrectly each day at breakfast, the food was tasty. On the Thursday night, the music from the bar was so loud until midnight, that I slept with earphones in. This is definitely not at a 4* level, I suspect there are much better options around York."

Top National Railway Museum Hotel Reviews

The Queens Hotel & Victoria Cloisters

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed in a flat. The room was great and so nice to have full kitchen. So conveniently located just around the corner from main bridge into town. Keys were a bit tricky but staff helped me. I would stay again."

The Churchill Hotel

8/10 Good

"Every staff member was very friendly and always said morning or hello when seeing us. Although parking is expensive, it is a lot cheaper in comparison to everywhere else in York. Our room was stylish and clean, however was boiling even with the fan from the wardrobe and with the window open each night, couldn't have imagined staying there during the heatwave."

The Milner York

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Food was excellent and the room clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend."

Malmaison York

8/10 Good

"We had a very nice room looking at Yorkminster. Really comfy bed and good night’s sleep. Everything necessary in the room. Would go again!"

The Minster Hotel York

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely room and relaxing stay. The staff were all incredibly helpful and engaging. Only minors were that the toilet in our room was really high. First time I’ve ever sat in the loo and couldn’t touch the ground. Also, with no lifts it was a tough climb up narrow stairs to the top floor. I guess a learning for me to mention this when booking. But as I say, these are minor things and we loved the hotel and will return."

Hampton by Hilton York

10/10 Excellent

"Good location in York, refurbished room with everything needed, decent breakfast options (self service), good price (especially for York)."

"Hotel was beautiful Staff were excellent Clean and beautiful Suite was lovely and clean, bed was so comfy. Weird though no table and chairs to eat in room ( plenty of room for one) Sofa and 2 chairs not sure why for 2 guests. Tv sound was very poor needs an upgrade Overall great would stay again. Lovely location for town"

Hampton by Hilton York Piccadilly

"Lovely spot for our 24 hours in York. It’s a 20-min or less walk to center and less to the train/ bus, but it’s pleasant and mostly flat. Staff was very helpful and the breakfast was plentiful!"
