Lovely hotel, perfect location - short walk along tow path to city centre. Large room and lovely bathroom. Excellent breakfast with particularly friendly staff - only one minor point is that none of the salt and pepper grinders we tried actually grind - possibly a known issue as there were sachets also available. Also witnessed that this hotel is very welcoming for dogs and has lots of things for young children to play with in the reception area.

The Novotel York Centre proved OK and average for a 4 star hotel! On a positive note ... The staff all proved delightful and enthusiastic to please us! The bar and refreshments were nice and provided a comfortable spacious area to relax and enjoy reasonably priced drinks during happy hour. The pool was exceptionally nice, clean and well managed! Breakfast was good and again the staff and service was exceptionally good! The negatives: the room did not impress us for a 4 star rated hotel. The carpets were stained in multiple area. The 'finger groove handles' on cupboard doors to access the fridge and adjacent cupboard had deep set dust in the grooves and was rather unsightly and setting a poor hygiene standard (We took photographs of these problems if required for evidence!) We did not wish to engage on complaining as we wee only there 2 nights and don't favour making a fuss whilst there! Water pressure in the sink tap was very low (obviously a reducer in place). Towels and sheets were not of 4 star quality. The car park was very expensive (but we anticipated such and travelled by train!) Otherwise, the combination of the lovely pool, nice bar and wonderful staff outweighed the identified problems and we enjoyed our stay as best we could.

Staff were really friendly at check in. Room was beautiful and clean. The thing that let it down was the bathroom as it was an accessible bathroom which wasn’t asked for or required and made it difficult for me being 6’3 due to the low sink and shower/bath configuration. Have had accessible rooms before which were done a lot better. Tv didn’t work as it kept switching itself off
