Lovely place, just don't take a car

We had a very enjoyable stay, very friendly and helpful staff and a great location close to the city centre. The only issue we had was with parking. Though the hotel has no on-site parking it can rent a limited number of places nearby. We booked one of these only to find someone else had taken our spot and we had to use the closest car park instead.

Had an issue with our room regarding a noise in the wall that started at 5am and continued we were moved next door which was quieter, wish we had known about the construction going on right outside the windows and start at 8am on weekends. Great location, and walkable into the centre, very convenient long stay public carpark just around the corner.

Superb location

The location of this property is perfect right in the middle of the City. There isn't parking however there is a council car park right behind the property but this will set you back £26 for 2 nights. We decided to park around a mile away and walk in, a nice 20 minute walk. Staff there are really friendly and the property is immaculate. Just a couple small things we picked up on. We were in one of the luxury double rooms in the loft space. The room was perfect other than it had a lack of ventilation. The bathroom velux window is screwed shut. You can open the window at the front of the bedroom however after 2 hot showers and my partner using her hair dryer the room gets really warm and stuffy to the point we couldnt wait to get out of the hotel for a bit of fresh air. I can't imagine how warm it must get in summer. There is a small fan but i think allowing the velux to open in the bathroom would make a big difference. Also not wanting to sound too picky but if its being listed luxury we only got one toilet roll. So the next day I had to call reception for another. It arrived really quickly however they brought just one more. I'm not sure why the bathroom doesnt have 2 or 3 for a 2 night stay. They are the cheap toilet rolls with only a few sheets so doesnt take long to get through them! Also we had to call for more milk as they weren't replenished the next day. These are just small things and we would happily stay again

Lovely for a short trip

Jorvik House was really nice. The room and bathroom were very clean and in good condition. Warm welcome at reception and overall very nice place to stay for a few days. My only complaint would be that it would have been nice to have things like milk, tea, loo roll, etc replenished when empty, rather than on request.
