Fantastic Location!

amazing location easy check-in comfortable bed

The location proved amazing! I had a short walk to the city center and the Minster. Check-in and check-out were straightforward! The shower was really lovely, and the bed offered great comfort.

I noticed the stairs were very narrow, and the bannisters felt a bit wobbly. I wished they were more secure.

Location

9/10

The hotel is near the York Minster, just a short walk away. A Tesco Express sits nearby offering convenient access to snacks and essential items, and this accessibility. The train station is only 10 minutes away!

Facilities

8/10

The rooms include useful amenities, like a hairdryer and soaps. There is a communal area for ironing, complete with an ironing board and iron. The provision of tea, coffee, and milk sachets, along with a clean kettle, added a cute touch. The room featured three mains plug sockets.

Central Location and Cozy Room

cozy room city centre great street

I found the room quite cosy! It was also very close to the city centre. This location is on a great street. Everything I needed was right there, including a pub, cafe, and Tesco Express. I would definitely stay again.

On arrival, the smell of dog was too much. Our room didn't smell at first, but it gradually started to as the weekend progressed. There was only one tiny towel each, no hand towels.

Service

9/10

The staff ensured clear communication with things needed on arrival and parking sites. I had easy access to the city centre, tourist spots, and the train station. Communication with staff was good.

Facilities

The room offered tea and coffee, great! I also appreciated the top-ups in the hallway. There was plenty of natural light, but with a blind and curtains for the morning.

excellent location clean room good shower steep stairs unsightly laundry absent surface

the location was excellent. it was easy to walk to attractions. the room was clean, and the shower was good (i really enjoyed it). tea and coffee making facilities were useful.

the stairs inside were very steep and narrow. i felt a large amount of laundry left at the entrance hall was unsightly. no proper surface was available on which to prepare drinks.
