Great Hotel in York

Nice hotel that is near to both the railway station and the old city and really near to the river, which made it a pleasure walk within our stay.

Very easy checkin. Room was ready early and helpful receptionist.
Pauline, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Both the double bed and the extra beds for my teens were very comfortable. The room was spacious and well furnished, with good storage, and both a desk and a table. There was a nice lounge/breakfast area overlooking the river. The staff was very friendly and helpful and even let me check the room an extra time a few hours after checking out, as I thought I had forgotten something! Also had free luggage storage both before checking in and after checking out. Would absolutely stay again!

10/10 Exceptional

Nice location next to the river and shopping. A boat tour is nearby. Room was comfy, but the bed mattress was a bit too firm for my liking. Good for 2 or 3 nights.

Review of Queens hotel

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
Nicola, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Second visit to the Queens. The hotel is well placed for central York, with a plethora of pubs and eateries around. The room was cosy, overlooking the river, at an extra cost, which was great really. The usual coffee granule packs (Nescafe) teas (Yorkshire, if course) and a couple of biscuits were on offer in the room. Everything you need for a short break including towels, shampoo, and hairdryer all as standard. The hotel room looked tired though, the room was ok but needed sprucing up, the bed was showing its age, creaking whenever we turned! Breakfast was extra but a really great deal and something I'd highly recommend. Fresh coffee, cereals, continental and English all available through self service. Booking is essential as it always seemed a busy place in a morning. Parking is extra, and needs to be booked, currently £19 a night, which is inline with York prices, though if you arrive by train, it's only a 15 minute walk. Every member of staff was very welcoming, said hello and couldn't be more helpful. All in all, another great visit, lovely staff and a friendly hotel which just needs a bit of love and updating in the bedroom.
