Quiet comfortable rooms. Great breakfast and pleasant staff. Perfect for a weekend while exploring York. ##### Allen Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tanya 10 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities This was a superb stay due to a family feel and exceptional, caring staff. Everything was lovely, except the fact that we were in the old part of the hotel which is not very suited to extreme heat in the summer. Fans were provided but to little avail., it was roasting, even with door open at night. The room itsel was old fashioned but spacious and nice, good beds, good shower, lovely breakfast in the morning. Hotel is a short walk from everywhere, lots of food options in the vicinity. Nearby busses. Would stay there again in a heartbeat because of wonderful staff. lovely breakfat ##### Tanya Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Raymond 17 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service 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. ##### Raymond Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Tony 1 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff were fabulous, friendly and extremly helpful.

The welcome was also good. \`the wifi worked very well. The room was ok, needing refreshed. However, the bathroom was disappointing, and the shower location is no good, especially for someone tall. ##### David Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ilian 5 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely hotel Perfect service, lady on the check in was lovely, polite with good manners .

Cooked breakfast was excellent. Staff were warm and welcoming. The hotel itself is a little dated and could do with a sympathetic makeover of the decor. It is located about 25 - 30 minutes walk to the city centre, but there is a bus service from just opposite. ##### Heather Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael 18 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Comfortable large room , room cleaned and tidied every day to high standard.

Cleanliness is clearly a priority for this hotel. The hotel requires modernising especially in the older part of the property. It's a bit tired in places. The shower in my room was almost a trickle and in need of replacing. Overall I would recommend staying here. ##### Craig Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan 13 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Superb Breakfasts Comfortable rooms, very clean, superb breakfast, frendly staff. ##### Alan Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary 19 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great hotel, fabulous breakfast and friendly staff. ##### Mary Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Fossgate Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Fossgate-Bridge.h33995755.Hotel-Information) > - [Safestay York Micklegate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Safestay-York-Hostel.h4099734.Hotel-Information) > - [York City Center ground floor apartment with private parking](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-York-City-Centre-Ground-Floor-Apartment-With-Private-Parking.h32583585.Hotel-Information) > - [The Churchill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Churchill-Hotel.h1779789.Hotel-Information) > - [The Golden Fleece](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Golden-Fleece.h36101604.Hotel-Information) > - [The Mitchell](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Mitchell.h48703292.Hotel-Information) > - [Minster Hub Guest Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Minster-Hub-Guest-Accommodation.h26724748.Hotel-Information) > - [The Bootham Tavern - York ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Bootham-Tavern-York.h102356407.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury, Modern Apartment in York, Sleeps 4](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Luxury.h30315653.Hotel-Information) > - [Riverside City Loft Apartment](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Riverside-City-Loft-Apartment.h46254226.Hotel-Information) > - [Georgian House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Georgian-House.h4304598.Hotel-Information) > - [Woodsmill View - 5 Star - River view- Balcony](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Woodsmill-View-5-Star-River-View-Balcony-Luxuriously-Refurbish.h59345669.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-York.h430141.Hotel-Information) > - [Sleeps 12 Central York 5★Townhouse Parking Cinema & Pool Table & Games Room](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Sleeps-12central-York5townhouseparkingcinema-Games-Room.h60368476.Hotel-Information) > - [Pear Tree House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Pear-Tree-House.h46254215.Hotel-Information) > - [Malmaison York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Malmaison-York.h60606604.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Clementine](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Clementines-Town-House-Hotel.h1501378.Hotel-Information) > - [Monkbridge Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Monkbridge-Court.h37835454.Hotel-Information) > - [The Fat Badger](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Fat-Badger.h2597650.Hotel-Information) > - [The King's Apartment](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Kings-Apartment.h48415634.Hotel-Information) > - [Roomzzz York City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Roomzzz-York-City.h40584198.Hotel-Information) > - [Staycity Aparthotels, York, Barbican Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Staycity-Aparthotels-Barbican-Centre.h15150495.Hotel-Information) > - [Judges Lodgings York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Judges-Lodgings-York.h5823498.Hotel-Information) > - [Queen Anne's Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Queen-Annes-Guest-House.h11440156.Hotel-Information) > - [The Milner York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Principal-York.h148.Hotel-Information) > - [Hocus Pocus Tiny Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Hocus-Pocus-Themed-Accommodation.h69403139.Hotel-Information) > - [Lil's on the Waterfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Lils-On-The-Waterfront.h42084475.Hotel-Information) > - [Pure CityStay The Brickworks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Pure-CityStay-The-Brickworks.h30551490.Hotel-Information) ---
