Novotel York Centre - York

10 min walk into York, hotel has parking, good for families.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room was your standard hotel room. The carpet and bathroom floor looked dirty, which made me uncomfortable. The bed was comfortable enough considering that it was in England. It seems the UK has different standards concerning mattress comfort than the US.

Location - about 15 min. walk to the main attractions of York, so one does not need to move the car/take taxi/bus etc. Still, there are closer hotels it seems. Service - reception staff were great; restaurant - food not that good, took forever to get it. Note that kids eat half price of the main menu, a good deal after all (though I had to reminds […] the rest. staff about the deal that they publicize in the elevator, and it took them another 15 minutes to find a way to give us the discount...). Room - no water presure; no a/c and although it was not so hot outside (about 18C) it was very hot inside the room, with window open, even at night. As a family with 2 kids - the room was too small. It is also a bit hard to find the hotel, but not too bad. Read more

I have an 18 months daughter and this hotel is perfect for families with kids. The pool is nice for the little ones and there is also some attraction for kids in the lobby like a Wii and a play area. The restaurant of the hotel is very good and it has good price. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful.

THe hotel was just outside the old city walls. About a 10 minute walk to the center of the city. Next time we are in York we will stay here again.

Staying in a hotel with twin toddlers isn't easy, but the Novotel York did all they could to make it so. Nice little playroom and the lobby area is great for them to hare around.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed at Novotel on a Saturday evening. Whilst the location is good with easy access to York centre and car parking on site we were a little dissapointed with the facilities in the Hotel for a 4*. We went to use the "heated swimming pool" to find that it hadn't been heated very much - it was icy cold! I would only use this hotel if you are getting […] a cut price rate as you may as well be in a primiere inn or travel lodge Read more

Excellent friendly staff. Perfect for the Barbican just around the corner. Excellent buffet breakfast. No real complaints except for separate toilet from bathroom in small closet with no sink and the carpets didn't look too good they were clean but had marks on them which could do with a professional treatment. Overall a good stay and good location […] . Read more

The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable and the amenities particularly good if you have children. Good quality and choice of food at breakfast. Very good value.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Tis was an ideal place to stop for a night for the family. Great facilities, especially the indoor pool, computer based games in the lobby and the Buffet meal deal, which had kid and adult friendly dishes. All the staff were friendly and great with the kids. Bedroom design was generally good, thought the inner door great to muffle corridor noises. Not […] sure how we would cope with more than one or two nights, as very little storage and space to move around. Read more

Located a 10 minute walk from centre of your and close to all major attractions A great hotel, lovely food and facilities too, would use it again if I return to York.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We enjoyed our stay - the room was great, as was the food and service. Our only issue was that the hotel seem to allow pets - we were woken at 8.30am on a Sunday morning by the sound of a dog yapping, which lasted for over an hour. Granted, it is the owner's responsibility to control their animals, but nevertheless this is the reason why I haven't given […] our stay 5/5. Read more

Convenient location,very friendly & helpful staff. Really nice VIP tray as a courtesy for my husbands' birthday. We would definately stay here again & recommend the hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Varied choice for breakfast, eg; choice of cereals, continental breakfast and cooked breakfast. Hotel in good location for city centre, only 5-10 minute walk away. As our visit was in March there were meetings/conferences being held in the hotel, although these didn't interfere with our stay. Its the first time […] we have stayed at a Novotel but will certainly be back. Read more

The hotel is very outdated with its decor in rooms and corridors. We had an " executive" room 111, I use the term executive very loosely, room was small decor very outdated. Toilet is in a cupboard which has no sink so you have to go into the bathroom to wash your hands. Beds were not of an executive standard just putting a BOSE docking station and […] a coffee machine in the room does not make it executive money could be better spent elsewhere. The pool was cold , the reception / bar / playroom was not a relaxing place to unwind and have a drink I stayed for 1 drink and had to go back to the room. Been in far better hotels for a lot less money avoid at all costs Read more

Hotel was lovely overall, we stayed for 2 nights 1st feb 2013. Rooms very spacious for 2 people, bed very comfy and bathroom very satisfactory, large shower and basin with separate toilet. Breakfast was included in our price which I would recommend, great choice of continental and full English, brilliant start to the day. Hotel is just a short walk […] from the centre, about 5 minutes so good location for visiting attractions. Would definitely stay here again when visiting York. Read more

We have stayed in this hotel before and had a thoroughly nice stay. However this occasion was not as enjoyable, the pool was too cold to use which was one of the main reasons for booking with two children and the price of drinks/food was extortionate in the bar limiting us to our stay downstairs.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Good quality as ever with Novotel but some furniture ect getting a little tired.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Staff were friendly and room was tidy - my only gripe would be the £10 parking.

Genuine Expedia guest review

As I often stay away with work, I have been to many hotels, a few of which I will not be staying at again! This hotel is located a few minutes walk from the centre of York which is ideal. The hotel is nicely decorated and the rooms are very modern. Only let down was the small television and the £10 parking cost! Did not eat here, as the weatherspoons […] is far better value for money, and only a couple of minutes away. Also ate out in the centre of York, plenty of choices very close to the hotel. Read more

The hotel itself is clean and the rooms were modern and large, though with some signs of wear and tear. The bar and restaurant staff were excellent, friendly an efficient, the housekeeping staff not quite so good- the bed was unmade on one occasion and towels were left hanging on the door rather that tidied away. The location itself is semi central- […] it's no more than a 10 to 12 min walk from M&S on the main shopping street, but certainly not bang in the centre of town, it's a bit to the south. If you are not fully mobile then this woul not be the place for you as you'd need a taxi from the dead centre of the city. The website says it has a gym, but it does not. It has a small pool but this really is very small- you would be unable to swim lengths. Overall, not bad and fair considering the room rate was not that expensive Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is a close 5-10 min walk into the heart of York, but due to its setting is very quiet and peaceful. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious and furnished well with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast is a little expensive if not part of your deal but is a very tasty and worth having. We didn't use the pool as we were […] only there for one night but it certainly looked good. We would definately use this hotel again on another visit to York Read more

We stayed over as a family with a teenage son and it was a wonderful stay The reception is light and airy and the staff were welcoming and helpful The rooms are average sized but clean and with comfy beds The pool is very calm and relaxing We only had breakfast there but it was one of the best buffet breakfast I've had The staff were helpful cheerful […] and efficient and even though we were the last for breakfast they came and replenished the buffet Will defo return as its only a small walk into York centre but one of the nicer hotels with quieter clientele Read more

We enjoyed our two night stay immensely . It is in a good location,within a five minute walk to the city centre,the staff were very good and the room was very clean . I would recommend it to anyone.

The Novotel is set about 1/2 mile out of York centre - it's about 15 years old but has reently been refitted to a high standard - rooms are clean bright and airy and beds are very comfortable and hotel has own secure parking. Hotel has it's own 10m pool too. Likely you woud want to get a taxi in to town for a night out but there is a a good Itallian […] just round the corner too. Would definitely stay here again.

Room was fine. I don't like sealed air conditioned rooms that many modern hotels offer, so a working window was good. Slept well, not as noisy as other hotels and the bed was fine although a bit on the soft side for me. Hotel is about 15 mins walk from centre of York, so fine for people on holiday but not for lugging kit to work every day. Would happily […] stay at the Novotel again Read more

Very child friendly, basic rooms but clean and everything you need, kids loved pool and Xbox games and breakfast. Staff were great, very friendly and helpful, nothing too much trouble

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The rooms are ideal for a couple however as two single people staying we were not happy with only having the option of a double bed and a bed settee. Breakfast very expensive but weather-spoons just down the road so had breakfast there. Ideal location for central York so everything within walking distance.

The hotel is well situated just outside the central area. The staff are generally ok but a little bit slow. The rooms are nice for the money that they cost. Breakfast was of exellent quality but again the service was slow. I would definatley stay at this hotel again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This review is based on two separate stays, approximately 2 months apart. The first stay was disappointment, but thought I would give it a second try, wish I didn't! The hotel reception is nice but the moment you get out of the list it goes down hill. Both my stays were in an executive room and both rooms were shabby, cobwebs in the toilet, and the […] painted wall was patchy. Biggest annoyance: despite what hotels.com says there is NO FREE WIFI!! Supposedly for an executive room you get free WIRED broadband connecting your laptop. This wouldn't connect and after nearly 20 minutes on the phone to someone in India who didn't understand english I gave up. Reception staff are slow, abrupt and do not give you all the infomation. On both my check-ins there was no mention of the free broadband and movie package that comes with the executive room, you have to ask them. The attched restaurant is ok, though my dessert was still frozen. My advice: find somewhere else! It'll be nicer, better value, and probably have ACTUAL free wifi. Read more

Novotel York was fantastic. It was clean, comfortable and had great facilities.

Our stay was great, good enough to book again for the following weekend, only disappointment was having to have the window open all night due to the constant heat in the room, which caused problems after midnight with lots of noise outside.
