Pleasant stay, short walk into the city…but regular buses to the centre available. Comfortable traditional hotel, friendly staff. Good sized rooms.
Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025

8/10

The hotel was within walking distance to the city centre. Good facilities including a swimming pool. On arrival the receptionist was very welcoming and helpful. The room was spacious and was adequately furnished. The bathroom was a little tired but it was clean enough. For the price point I couldn't really fault the hotel. I'd return to the hotel on my next visit to York and hope that I could book a room in the new extension.

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.

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.

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!

2 night stopover was ok - staff friendly and good breakfast. 3-star rating is about right for the period property and room quality - a bit rough around the edges. Pool/area was clean and warm. Good location for a stroll into town, or as we did one morning walk to the Holgate Windmill and the Cold War Bunker.

No welcome pack, no fridge, very uncomfortable pillows, no window with a view in bedroom so very dark. Very helpful host and friendly, lovely breakfast, good location for York central, rather surprised to be charged for car parking.

Staff very friendly and place clean. A bit run down and tired. Location very good for old town. Our room very warm as above kitched and vent stack on outside wall, avoid room 17 and all should be well.
