Lovely stay, the room was great and the location is beautiful. The only qualm we had was that we were in a room at the top of the house and so the ceiling dipped, which meant it was difficult to shower as the shower head was really low (I just fit underneath at 5”7). My partner also noticed it hadn’t been cleaned on top. May be noting on the booking that those rooms are not tall people friendly.
Wonderful hotel in a nice safe location, staff very friendly and helpful, clean spacious rooms, comfortable bed, easy access for exploring York and its wonderful history.
Had a great stay and will be back in the future

We always enjoy staying at this lovely York hotel. Excellent location, clean and well decorated rooms and and all at a very reasonable price. Lovely warm welcome from reception staff and overall a great stay.
The hotel is perfectly placed in the centre of York and easy to get to. The staff were lovely and were able to accommodate giving us a lower-level room, which was so helpful (especially when pregnant in a heatwave!). There were lots of options available in the mini bar as well as teas, coffees, etc. The room was very comfortable and clean - we will definitely return next time we come to York.
Absolutely loved staying here, all the staff were lovely , really friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and had everything we needed, we especially loved sitting in the bay window watching the world go by. The hotel was situated in the perfect place 2 minutes from the river , 7mins from the centre and the street was lovely and quiet at night, we came in the train and it was a 10 minute walk from there so perfect all round. We will definitely return 😀
Lovely hotel, immaculate room, staff very helpful and fab mini bar in the room
Ideally situated for train station, Marygate car park and town centre. Would definitely book again
Staff was extremely courteous and attentive, room was spotless, very close to central station and all the main attractions. Will definitely use this hotel again in my next visit to York.
Lovely comfortable room, incredibly well stocked mini bar including full size bottles of wine. Excellent location, short walk to centre and very quiet.
Fabulous overnight stay in Jorvik House, perfect location for exploring York,warm greeting and a fantastic large room with everything you need....Definitely stay again ..
Clean room but thin walls. Basement room was a bit stuffy so windows should be kept open when in room. Staff is super helpful. Overall a pleansant stay.
Our 2nd stay at The Jorvik. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are comfortable and spotlessly clean with an excellent shower. We chose not to have a breakfast tray as there are plenty of eating options nearby. The minibar was very well stocked.
Perfect location for walking through York Gardens. We were downstairs but still had plenty of light coming through. Lots of space and we cracked our window at night which kept us cool enough - though wished there was a safety lock on the windows - we didn’t notice one. And the fan could be cleaned - didn’t use because it was covered it dust. Sink was stopped up but couldn’t be we didn’t know how to open the drain more.
This is an excellent little hotel. Spotlessly clean, friendly staff and in an excellent location not far from train station and York Minster. Would highly recommend.

Very lovely welcome to a historic and plush, cosy stay at Jorvik House for a post Christmas getaway. Everything fantastic, only mimor gripes that Yorks parking might be a tad cheaper, perhaps there are cheaper ones than the conveniently located Marygate car park a stones throw away.
Great location. Very quiet, which made sleeping easy. Staff were friendly and helpful.

This accommodation was in the most perfect place for a visit to York. It was right across from the museum gardens, quiet, and a quick walk to the city center. Loved it!
The hotel is located very close to restaurants, pubs, and a beautiful park right across the street. It’s walkable into the city center with many beautiful sites and attractions.
