York is a wonderful city with a really good feel about it. At the moment the Christmas markets are there with a huge selection of food, drinks and present ideas. Monk Bar Choclatiers in the Shambles is definitely worth a visit! Betty's tearoom too 👍

Definitely worth visiting York Minster for a guided tour; the National Rail Museum is interesting too, a good way to spend an hour or so. If you have time, do a day trip by train to Harrogate and stop off at Knaresborough for an hour or 2 en route

Because everything is close by we managed to see the majority of attractions in just three days. The history museum and ghost walk were the highlights of our stay. Best to pre-book Jorvik. Betty's is a special treat and Ask Italian for the building!

We had an excellent short stay in York - helped, it is true, by the good weather we were lucky enough to enjoy. The Minster is quite magnificent. And hearing the organ and the choir during the Evensong service which we attended was beyond superb.

Incredibly small, thus very easy to get around by walking, but incredibly busy even in the off season. Lots of cars, some stores had queues that went outside the building. Lots of traffic from online virality, so expect people stopping for photos.

Beautiful city. Lots to do and see. Great shops and plenty of bars and coffee shops and restaurants. Blue bus tour was a fantastic way to see everything and you can jump off and on. Visited the Dungeons was funny and scary all at the same time.

Wear flat shoes cobblestone. And bring healthy appetite. Food is great. Love the more relaxed pace and how chatty everyone is. Beautiful architecture and so much history everywhere - book an evening tour like the ghost tour for bit more fun

Expect to be one of thousands of tourists here! The city and the people in it cope with it all very well. If you get the chance to walk along the walls in the evening it's a great experience; however they're not always open at that time.

Plenty to see and do, a walk around the City wall is a must. We visited the National Railway Museum, Clifford's Tower, Fairfax House, Jorvik Viking Centre, York's Chocolate Story and even Dick Turpin's grave. All are recommended.
"Such great service from start to finish, we were welcomed with smiles, staff were always polite and helpful. Food was excellent and the leisure facilities were a nice addition."
"Beautiful old world hotel in a great location for exploring York. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful - every staff member we encountered was simply outstanding. "
"Friendly staff were able to accomodate me for an earlier check in. the room was clean and well stocked with drinks and big plus for there being a fridge"
"Location was perfect. Jorvik center, the dungeons, the shambles were all within 15 minute walking radius. Breakfast was a decent buffet. Good swimming pool and facilities. "
"In a really good position for getting into the city, with many bars and restaurants very close by, parking onsite is a little expensive (in my opinion) £25 per night. We found a parking spot 5 minutes walk away for £9 overnight, other than that definitely recommend this hotel."
