The location is great and it helped that we had a riverside view. It’s in a great location - you feel you’re in the heart of the city but not in a busy location. You do get the noise from the pubs and clubs on the other side of the river so take earplugs or keep the window closed (no aircon). The bathroom could use updating but that feels like a minor thing really as the room is clean and comfortable. Bed and pillows are really comfy. Staff are really welcoming and friendly.
The hotel was superbly located just over the bridge from most things but at most a few minutes walk to everything you would want to do. Excellent filling breakfast each morning and the hotel staff were very helpful and polite. We were lucky enough to have a river view. It was lovely listening to the boats in the evening and the early morning rowers.

Perfect location
Location was amazing, view and parking facilities brilliant, room was clean although the bathroom was a little tired and in need of a refurbishment
Myself, daughter and 2 children stayed 3 nights in a family room recently.
The hotel is perfect for heading into the town and just a short walk from all the attractions.
Car park was easy to get too.
Room was comfortable and housekeeping were fantastic. .
Tea , coffee and biscuits were available in the room and replenished every day.
We didnt eat in the hotel so cant comment on the food.
Staff were lovely and really helpful.
I would stay here again.

Nice and pleasant stay!
Got a room with a view to the river. Nice and pleasant stay!
We went to York for a birthday weekend. The location is perfect. A 10 min walk from the train station and very central. We paid for the upgrade to get river views and was worth the extra money. The bed was super comfortable and the staff excellent. Breakfast was good

Well situated next to the river close to town and station. Decor a little dated and tired with mould in bathroon shower in the barth but no safety grab handles, Breakfast while OK was very busy and had to be booked.
Staff very helpful.
Rooms were the problem. Had two rooms no 1 and no 9. Bed in room 1 was so hard it was like lying on the floor. It was also very cold with just a small wall heater which did nothing. Room 1 was above car park so noise of roller shutter going up and down was annoying.
Room 9 was also extremely cold.
Hotel Location was perfect for city access although both rooms suffered noisy drunks passing throught the night.
Room 1 was by the guest toilets, bar and cleaning room and we could hear people using the toilets and returning from the bar. The washing machine could also be heard in the cleaning storage room.
Hotel still had social distancing signs and notices which hadnt been taken down since 2020 giving the impression nothing had been done to maintain the property. Not what you want to be reminded of when going away for a relaxing weekend.
