The Milner York
The Hotel was grand and spacious including bedroom, bathroom, lobby and dinning areas. All very clean and well maintained. Shower was hot and good pressure. Staff were pleasant and helpful throughout stay. Excellent location for City Centre tourism. Would have got 5 star if swimming pool was bigger ...

Malmaison York
Nice hotel. Good location. The ‘mood lighting’ meant the room was very dark including the bathroom area that was part of the main room so not great for applying makeup, contact lenses etc.

The Queens Hotel
Staff were polite and welcoming, the room was clean, although I got the family room which meant sound proofing wasn't great with the room next door and neighbour had the TV on very loud very late into the night. The gym was week equiped and clean
