I booked this place for its available parking, proximity to the minister, and high review score. It appears to be an old building that has been repurposed as a hotel. We stayed on the ground floor, where the room felt quite damp. The main issue was the bedding and linens, which were of poor quality, and there was a noticeable musty odor. On a positive note, the staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Poor

The room was on the 2nd floor, probably last in the plumbing line considering the temperature of the hot water. TV had electricity however, consistently failed on programs as the signal was not strong enough. Constant interference with sound and display leaving it unwatchable. Hotel refused to acknowledge issues. In terms of sustainability, they do not clean or replace sheets or towels daily although they consistently deliver toilet rolls and room sundries outside your door in a plastic bag. Seems they could use their imagination on how deliver them more sustainably. The linen change and no service refers to covid and how they changed it then and they think guests prefer it. I don't mind reduced housekeeping but the messaging is out of date, much like their management service. Assume they do it to save money and not the planet. Wouldn't recommend!

Lovely hotel, friendly staff. Close to city centre. Lovely choice of breakfast. We were at the back of the hotel, which was good, front would have been very noisy as its a busy road. Private parking so we didn't need to worry. Would stay here again.

Laura is the best!! We arrived after a long journey and on arriving in our room there was a terrible smell from the bathroom. It was so strong you could smell it from out the room - We put the exttractor on and opened the windows and thought we’d go for a walk and see if it had gone when we got back. Mentioned it to Laura at reception on our way out and she immediately said they only had one more room available so she’d rather change is straight away than wait until we got back from our walk in case the room went. So we swapped and the next room was so much better. Laura did go to investigate and by the next day we could tell the smell was no longer detectable from outside the room. Laura also gave me some great recommendations for where to visit in York. To be fair - all the staff we lovely - the breakfast team were very efficient and friendly. The hotel was in a great location - 5 minute walk to York Minster and the walls you can walk around, or you can walk down to the river in a similar time. I would definitely consider staying here again if we come back to York.

Night at the Theatre

Person staying next door tv volume very loud, went out & left TV on. Maybe he didnt know how loud it was, or had no respect for others? Only negative, and not Hotels fault. Would recommend as excellent position for Theatre Royal, and choice of restaurants.

Conveniently located just a few blocks from Botham Bar and York Minster in one direction, and the River Ouse in the other, this well-run modest hotel provides safe, comfortable and affordable lodging. The cheerful staff did all they could to accommodate our every request, making our five-day staff very pleasant indeed.

The bed was comfy, a good size bathroom including toiletries. An excellent breakfast both the food and service. Check in was easy and the reception staff friendly. The hotel is approx 5 minutes walk to York Minster and approx 15 minutes from the station. All in all a great place to base yourself for sightseeing

First class service from the moment you enter the hotel, my room was renovated and bathroom as well. Was well catered for at breakfast, nothing is too much trouble and it shows as to how the hotel is run. Daily supplies of tea/coffee/biscuits in room. Its close to the city centre and all the tourist attractions.

Excellent choice of hotel

Nice spacious room, close to city centre with very, very friendly staff and excellent service... Food was excellent with lots of choice at breakfast, which was included in the price. Only minor point was that there were a couple of little decorative tired bits around the edges like the net curtain had a tear for example... But it was nothing so big as to take the shine off our stay. Would return absolutely and would highly recommend.
