Enjoyed our stay. The room was clean although we had a disabled suite, which meant the shower was too low and as a result flooded the bathroom. Overall it was very good though and we would happily stay again.

I love the lobby area and the beautiful cafe. The grand staircase is also great! The room is just standard considering the lobby and the building is so pretty. I love the bathroom tho. Plus point is the spa downstairs although the changing room is quite dirty.

Choose the Milner for an excellent place to stay.

I really enjoyed both York and the hotel. The only problems I found is too many stairs and too long walk to room especially when carrying bags. There was no armchair in room and so it was difficult to be in the room as nowhere to sit. Staff were very helpful. I was locked out of room on departure day before I had time to leave with bags. Staff member let me in.
