Also we were in basement and a lot of noise above.

The room was very clean and the bed was soft and extremely comfortable. The room was in the basement and there are steps but they are broken up not continuous so weren’t too problematic for some one with slight mobility issues. The music and noise from the bar ended at 11pm and we didn’t experience any noise from outside or other guests. ##### MOIRA Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracy 19 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great stay, beautiful hotel with very welcoming and helpful staff ##### Tracy Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Becky 2 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect stay!

Excellent location for exploring the city. Beds and pillows were soo comfy. Though our room was small it had everything we needed. Other reviews mentioned noise from the bar above. We accidentally booked on a Tuesday night in January when that bar is shut and had no issues with noise. They offered to look after our bags when we checked out which was nice too. ##### Frederich Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gemma 4 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Gemma Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### null 14 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Easy check in and polite and friendly staff. The room was comfortable and everything we needed for a night away. Really cool atmosphere and peaceful. No noise and a real feeling of “getting away”. Shower was decent which is always a big plus. The bed was incredibly comfy.

We were able to drop of our bags on arrival and go explore the city. Our room was ready before check in so we were called to let us know. Love that you get to pick your own whipped soap for your room. Our room was spacious with a comfy bed. The complimentary pastries in the morning were a nice touch too ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sam 13 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My self and my wife stayed in the red room at the impossible motel in York. Firstly the hotel is amazing such a unique place and the rooms are incredible. If you are looking for a memorable night away you can’t beat it. The hotel is right in the centre of York so everything is right on the doorstep. The staff were amazing so friendly and helpful. I can’t say enuf good things about it. I can’t wait for our next visit. ##### Sam Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sam 29 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic hotel. The staff were great. The room itself was amazing with the most comfy bed I've ever slept in. The hidden door to the cocktail bar is also a nice touch. Unfortunately we didn't try the restaurant, but I can only imagine it will be as nice as everything else. The only downside the walls are paper thin, so you can hear everything your neighbours are up to and vice versa. Other than that, a truly enjoyable stay. We certainly will be back in the future. ##### Sam Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Matthew 7 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel was great! Staff was great! The drunk people on the streets, screaming until 04:30 were not great. Hotel was very centrally located which we loved but it resulted in many sleepless nights because of the noise. Obviously not the hotels fault, just something to be mindful of. ##### Matthew Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Honor 23 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazingly Impossible Had a great night at Impossible Motel, very quirky place. Room for as amazing, 4 Poster Bed and large feature fireplace, bathroom was small but functional and well designed. Had a drink downstairs in Pink, and returned back to our room through the ‘Secret Door’. Would defo stay again, as central as it gets for all of York. We where in the 1st floor near reception, looking out onto a busy high street but noise wasn’t a problem. ##### Honor Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly 1 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect if you like something a little different The hotel was fantastic. Quirky, unusual and atmospheric. The staff were all so friendly and helpful - we were even allowed a look at some of the empty rooms to consider for our next trip. The descriptions are true to life which we appreciated when booking - the toilets/showers are a little less private than other hotels but we were well aware of that before our stay. The location was perfect, right in the centre of York but we didn’t find it too noisy - perhaps because our stay was on a Sunday night. We used the YourParkingSpace app to find cheap parking about 10mins walk away. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/59983EDB320B24087D7B900DC02C2FF2B20E50D11690905879486.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C7C09238E72863D1DF020658F6FB73591078EF1C1690905880127.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/59240E8D25F1F8F8C4ECFD48E3B283FE848263551690905880098.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kelly Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ellie 17 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Unique, luxury, Whimsical, Goth Paradise. Absolutely stunning. Beautiful location. The hotel is situated in the perfect place. Staff are amazing in the hotel and restaurant. We will be back to try the other rooms. Ignore the negative reviews, this is a unique, quirky hotel and if youre a bit of a whimsical goth, you will love this place. Also the restaurant menu and interior is much better than the ivy. The kitchen was closed when we popped in for drinks but would have definitely eaten there rather than the Ivy. Staff really helpful and gave us recommendations (Cut and Craft)of where to eat which was fantastic. The White Company toiletries were gorgeous and i really loved that on arrival we were given a complimentary bathbomb and got to choose a tub of handmade whipped soap which smelt divine. Highly recommend a stay here, we are local but enjoy a night out in York so Impossible Motel will definitely be are go to hotel. I would go as far to say this is the nicest hotel we have stayed in. Well done.

From the pictures the brick walls and vaulted ceilings give the impression of a solid (and presumably quiet) room. Sadly, the walls are so thin you can hear the occupants of neighbouring rooms! You can also hear footsteps and doors banging, and in case that isn't enough to keep you awake there's always the loud buzzing noise that the air conditioning unit makes every 2 minutes! On the plus side the room looked every bit as stylish as it did in the photos. What perhaps isnt clear from the photos is that there is no toilet door. This seems a massive oversight in a room with no windows! All in all our stay was a unique experience that I hope to never repeat. ##### Dave Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [B+B York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-BB-York.h1145243.Hotel-Information) > > [York Pavilion Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-York-Pavilion-Hotel.h8922.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-York.h430141.Hotel-Information) > > [Malmaison York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Malmaison-York.h60606604.Hotel-Information) > > [Clementine's Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Clementines-Town-House-Hotel.h1501378.Hotel-Information) > > [Roomzzz York City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Roomzzz-York-City.h40584198.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel du Vin & Bistro York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Vin-Bistro-York.h7730418.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn York by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-York.h8651.Hotel-Information) > > [Middletons Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Middletons-Hotel.h792058.Hotel-Information) > > [Elmbank York, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Elmbank-Hotel-Lodge.h564409.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-York-Marriott-Hotel.h687255.Hotel-Information) > > [The Minster Hotel York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Minster-Hotel-York.h1223344.Hotel-Information) > > [Wheatlands Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Wheatlands-Lodge-Hotel.h8183878.Hotel-Information) > > [Staycity Aparthotels, York, Barbican Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Staycity-Aparthotels-Barbican-Centre.h15150495.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-York-City-Center.h1005.Hotel-Information) > > [St Mary's Guest House ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-St-Marys-Guest-House.h16003045.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lighthorseman](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Lighthorseman.h6341130.Hotel-Information) > > [Burton Stone Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Burton-Stone-Inn.h10088692.Hotel-Information) > > [The Grand, York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Grand.h3697588.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Styles York Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Ibis-York-Centre.h34311.Hotel-Information) > > [The Queens Hotel & Victoria Cloisters](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Queens-Hotel.h11021657.Hotel-Information) > > [The Milner York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Principal-York.h148.Hotel-Information) > > [The Churchill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Churchill-Hotel.h1779789.Hotel-Information) > > [Hedley House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Hedley-House-Hotel.h1382783.Hotel-Information) > > [Jorvik House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Jorvik-House.h2471799.Hotel-Information) > > [No.1 by GuestHouse, York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Grange-Hotel.h11750.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-York.h5388905.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel York Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Novotel-York-Centre.h9583.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crescent Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Crescent-Guest-House.h2244613.Hotel-Information)
