We enjoyed our stay here, it was clean and had everything you needed. The only problem was the shower was either boiling hot or cold. Not sure if this was due to the amount of people staying.

Everything was great mostly - the sink was a bit funny at times, and there was very loud construction in the next room over that we weren’t warned about before, but overall a great experience

Good if you don't plan to spend time in room

Close to town centre. Great id you don't plan to spend much time there. Beds are clean, bathroom needs an upgrade. Daughter sliced her thumb on the stairs banister. Everything is organised over the phone, don't really see any staff.

The staff did not want to talk much, but were willing to help with everything we asked for, they keep the accommodation wonderfully warm! I'd improve the floorboards but otherwise, I'd absolutely stay again and am sure I would have a relaxing time if I did! I'd thank them for the staff's efforts

York disappointment

The staff were very friendly & really helpful sorting our parking out was no problem. The room was much smaller then we expected so not very comfortable. The shower head was disgusting with faeces which my husband cleaned before he used it !!! Why was there a humming fridge in the room when food & drink were not allowed??Very disappointed sadly.

A true budget option. Located a mile from the rail station and a short distance away from the city centre, so whilst not that convenient it was quiet. The room was cramped with a sloping ceiling and no daily room service, no lift to upper floors. Check-in was unnecessarily complicated. You have to phone a UK number to get the code! Never have I had to do that and I had to make an expensive call from a US phone. They should have advised to call on WhatsApp, or better yet, sent the code in an email as most modern hotels do. Shower pressure was poor, mould on the ceiling and the sink drain smelt. On the positive side, it was clean and they provided an ample tea tray but that's not enough to spur me to stay here again.

Lovely little hotel, great location

We were pleasantly surprised by this little hidden gem. The location is fantastic, parking just a street away, the room was clean and tidy. Very impressed with the quality and size of the towels, complimentary shower get, shampoo and conditioner and a well stocked cuppa tray.
