Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Basement room very noisy and extremely small, we were even handed ear plugs on arrival! So a very unpleasant and noisy first night. Second night we moved to an upstairs room, which was nice until the electricity in the room failed at 10:30 pm. With no one available to check this out but the night porter we spent our second night cold and in the dark. In the morning we had to wash and dress by phone torch light. When we complained it was evident that the staff did not believe us even though the fault was witnessed by the porter. It took an age to get any type of compensation (half money back for the second night only) and this took complaints via Expedia and at least five calls to the hotel. Avoid... it is not nearly as good as it looks in the photographs.

Perfect base for a York city stay
First time staying here on a Christmas shopping trip with my sister. Absolutely perfect location. The hotel itself is stunning, the decor and room was beautiful. The staff are a credit as all so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Before checking out we've already decided we want to return next year.
