Excellent, relaxing stay.

Although you do have to spend £10 for car parking, you do get breakfast, a swimming pool and steam room, thrown in. Creaky floors, but room very comfortable and staff were friendly and helpful. Would stay here again, which is always the best recommendation.

The hotel was within walking distance to the city centre. Good facilities including a swimming pool. On arrival the receptionist was very welcoming and helpful. The room was spacious and was adequately furnished. The bathroom was a little tired but it was clean enough. For the price point I couldn't really fault the hotel. I'd return to the hotel on my next visit to York and hope that I could book a room in the new extension.
