Perfect location for arriving by train and exploring york. Staff were all incredibly helpful, polite snd professional. The option of being able to leave your bags with the hotel before and after check was great. Room was ok, bed was adequate for our night stay. the hotel does recognise that not all rooms are perfect as it is a older building.

The hotel staff were so helpful. From booking in when they found out it was our anniversary, they left a lovely card and treat in our room, through to booking out, always so friendly and helpful. We needed decaf hot drinks, and in no time they had then brought up to the room. The room was lovely looking out towards the Minster, and the meals great. Many thanks to you all and looking forward to our next visit.

Lovely hotel in central location with beautiful public areas, friendly staff and good breakfast. However, our room - allegedly a superior - came up short in a few areas. It felt quite cramped, was very dark and did not have a hairdryer (surely standard in a 4-star hotel?) or a decent mirror for make-up. We also had a rather uninspiring view of the railway station, although happily we couldn’t hear the trains. Plugs were not very well positioned, so I had to dry my hair (thankfully I had my own dryer with me) without being able to see what I was doing. We also didn’t have the complimentary water we had been promised in the booking info. On the plus side, everything was spotless, we had sufficient towels and the bathroom was very spacious with an excellent shower.

Very confusing and difficulty with finding the parking. No where to park on the hotel ground. Doesn’t feel as relaxing and cosy as expected. One of the chair in our room was minging with stains. The door attachment was broken but it was fixed after we mentioned it to the reception. It was ok stay but nothing special about the hotel.
