Top Strensall Hotel Reviews

The Grand, York

8/10 Good

"If you want a nice central stay, then this is one to consider. We had a couple of issues, which were resolved on the day. However, getting two bottles of sparkling water into the room seemed like a challenge, and being charged £16 for it felt like a lot, especially since they supplied only one bottle and charged for two, and the hotel already provides small bottles of still water. I was not expecting this to be charged, as I have experienced in other 5-star hotels."

Hampton by Hilton York

10/10 Excellent

"Meticulously clean, comfy bed, handy location. Staff were great, particularly Nat who was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast included was really nice and varied. Will stay again."

Radisson Hotel York

10/10 Excellent

"Jen was extremely friendly, welcoming & helpful with our check in & out"

Days Inn by Wyndham Wetherby

8/10 Good

"A clean, basic but comfortable hotel, sitting somewhere between a Travelodge and a Premier Inn in terms of quality and facilities. Despite being located within a busy motorway service station, it was surprisingly quiet. Staff were friendly and helpful. My initial impression was that it represented good value for money, but that dropped somewhat when I discovered parking was an additional charge that hadn't been made clear when booking. The service station is also extremely popular, so finding a parking space can sometimes be a challenge. Overall, I'd describe it as fair value rather than a bargain."

Novotel York Centre

8/10 Good

"Good"

Hilton York

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful staff excellent room"

Frequently asked questions

Which area of Strensall is best to stay in for cheap hotels?

For budget-conscious travellers looking for cheap hotels in Strensall, focusing on the village centre or areas just outside of it towards York will offer the best value.
