    My wife and I stayed here one Saturday night just after Xmas and had a pleasant time. I was a little worried at first as there was a wedding reception going on but we never heard any noise (though we were up on the 2nd floor) and the party stopped at midnight (a hotel rule, and a good one). Not a cheap place to stay, but the hotel is in a great location […] right next to the city walls and close to the Minister and Shambles etc, though if you're coming from the train station I'd recommed getting a taxi. My wife and I walked and got lost in the maze of streets. The room was nice and the bed was a good size. Bathroom a little small but the bath was nice and deep. I liked the coffee in the room, and the Sunday morning buffet was impressive with a good selection of fried stuff including nice bacon and eggs. The staff we met were generally very friendly so all in all I'd recommend it. The only down side was the desperately slow elevators which made me give up and just take the stairs, but it's a great location, though a little dark so I wouldn't walk too far away from the city at night if I was alone. I should also say York is a great place to visit for a few days, it's very compact and easy to get around, and has some brilliant shops and old pubs, plus some great places to eat. Read more

    Good location for the centre of York. The staff were very efficient and helpful. We had a business room which was large and well furnished with a superking bed. Good breakfast with plenty of choice. The main problem with the hotel is that it is situated on a busy road with traffic lights outside the hotel. We had a room in the side of the hotel on the […] second floor; you could still hear some noise from the road, but not enough to be a problem. If the room had been nearer to the road it probably would have been noisy early morning and late at night. Not sure if those rooms have better double glazing. The hotel bar needed refurbishing, but the lounge area was fine. The hotel has a function room and there was a wedding reception which finished at 12.p.m. on the night that we stayed in the hotel. As mentioned, our room was on the second floor and we did not here any noise from the party. However, this might have been different if we had been closer to the function room. Finally the car park is not particularly big. I managed to get one of the last remaining places, but I am not sure what the hotel arrangements are for guests who don't get a parking space. In general, we liked the hotel, but we would want to check our room position and a few other points with the hotel before staying there again. Read more

    Fantastic location. Friendly staff. No A/C which meant that we had to have the windows open to try to keep the heat down. As a result we were exposed to the very noisy road that runs past the hotel. Traffic thankfully stopped markedly after midnight. We stayed with our dog who was welcomed by the staff and when we asked for a late checkout due to a […] breakdown of our car the staff were very accommodating. Read more

    just stayed 2 nights here. the room was clean with everything you'd expect but was absolutely tiny - would have expected a little more space (even just a normal sized room) for the price. breakfast good although had to wait for a table on the first morning. hotel just a couple of minutes walk to the minster so fantastically placed for sight seeing.
