Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is conveniently located near York city center, offering easy access to major sites. The rooms are spacious and come with all the needed amenities like coffee and tea, although some maintenance issues were present. The service was friendly and accommodating, with the staff allowing early check-in for a full day of exploration. The dining experience was delightful, with a variety of options to please different tastes. However, the street parking situation was confusing, as the area is permit-only, and the hotel's parking is limited. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel's central location and comfortable rooms make it a great choice for visitors.
The hotel is conveniently located just a few minutes away from the center of York via bus, making it easy to explore the city. The service was a mix of friendly and invasive, with some helpful staff alongside instances of unwanted room entry. The dining options were limited, but with nearby cafes available. The quiet residential location offered security concerns with unlocked security boxes. Overall, a decent stay with ups and downs.
