Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were filled with lovely little touches and had so much character. The service was top-notch, and I even had a welcome drink upon arrival. The location was perfect, nestled in a nice quiet area yet so close to the city center. The dining experience was fantastic, with generous portions and delicious pastries. The facilities were great, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
A cozy hotel with welcoming staff and lovely little touches. The rooms have character but could use some updates. Service is excellent; housekeeping is top-notch, and the welcome drink adds a nice touch. The location is in a nice quiet area, although not very close to the center of York. Dining offers generous portions but lacks variety in salads. The facilities are sufficient, but some areas could benefit from more maintenance.
This hotel is a hidden gem! It's nestled in a nice quiet area yet so close to the old town, making it convenient for exploring. The rooms are filled with character and lovely little touches. The service was impeccable, and the housekeeping was top-notch. The dining experience was delightful with generous portions, especially the grilled and boiled fish. However, the facilities were a bit lacking compared to other aspects. Overall, a great value for money stay.
