Lovely Hotel

Took our 10 year old granddaughter for her last visit before schools opened back .our room was large with a double sofa bed for her . The bar area was very nice. Breakfast was what we would expect and the food was nice and warm . It was raining on the Saturday night so we opted to stay in the hotel for our evening meal but have to say we were quite disappointed with the quality of the food. All the staff were really friendly and we would definitely stay again.
Jacqueline, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Confortable stay

Confortable stay in a room set up with a pop up bed for my teenage daughter. Only recommendation is the room could do with a deep clean. Nice walk along the river to town. Parking on site is convenient and is open air (didn’t have to worry about having our van in the centre of town!). Would stay again.
Amanda, 1-night trip

Good base for a stay in York

Very good stay. Loved the little extras like the pink lemonade and pick'n'mix at reception. Staff all very helpful and friendly. Good breakfast options available.
Kim, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A great hotel

The lobby of the hotel was great, everything is on one floor so handy if you're disabled. None of those tiny flights of stairs. Swimming pool was fantastic. There's a great kids play room in the lobby which is handy if you want a drink and the kids to entertain themselves. The room was modern and comfortable. My only complaint is that in terms of window the whole room just had one tiny window but a pretty minor complaint. The bathroom was clean and comfortable with good hot water pressure. I would definitely come back.

Great apartment, clean and worked well for our family, and enjoyed the location.
Lavinia, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

On check in there were 3 staff on the check in desk one was helping another customer one was playing on their phone and one was chatting. This ment checkin took longer than I could have. We confirmed that we had booked a twin room but when we got to the room it was a double (they corrected this via housekeeping). There was a toilet roll under the bed. And the booking for the swimming pool seemed strange as there were at time alot more people than there was supposed to be in it. The room was comfy and the brekfast was good. The staff were variable.

Just a one night stay with my daughter. Have stayed a few times before as we like the hotel - staff always pleasant and the lovely walk up to the city centre along the river. Will definitely stay again.
Barbara, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location, just a short 10 minutes walk into town. Secure car park, although costs £17 per day. Good size room, although found the separate toilet a little strange that took some getting used to. Fabulous continental breakfast that can be ordered when booking your room.
Jason, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very pleasant two night stay

Lovely couple of days spent in York. Hotel in a good location with secure parking & only 10 - 15 minutes walk into the town centre. We only had breakfast in the hotel but it was very nice buffet style with plenty of choice continental & cooked. Staff where helpful and attentive and the hotel had very nice open plan décor. The pool area was very clean. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
Mark, 2-night trip

We checked in but the system was slow and had to wait longer than expected, however, Bishal at the front desk was amazing and upgraded us. A real credit to your organisation - thanks Bishal!!
