Parking available 👍 Location 👍 Towels & bedding SPOTLESS The whole property is in need of a refurbish! Our room, whilst dated but clean enough, had a dreadful musty, cat pee smell that pervaded everywhere … did ask for an air freshener ( which was provided) this is despite the window being wide open for fresh air

We had a very disappointing experience at this hotel due to serious heating and hot water issues. We had to call reception twice just to get the hot water switched on so we could shower. At night, the water in the en-suite bathroom was ice cold, making it impossible to shower. In the morning, I managed to shower at 7 am, but when my 10-year-old child tried to shower at 8 am, the water was ice cold again. When we contacted reception, we were told that if everyone in the hotel was showering at the same time, the hot water would not work. We were then asked to use a shared bathroom outside, even though we had specifically paid for an en-suite room. In the end, we were forced to use the shared bathroom, which was also poorly cleaned. This was extremely inconvenient and unacceptable, especially when paying for basic facilities such as heating and hot water. I would not recommend this hotel unless they resolve these heating and hot water issues and improve their cleanliness standards.

Ok. For starters when I came, there was work going on downstairs I wasn't really fussed as I was going out However when I was in my room a cleaning my ears, a man just walked it without knocking He just went... Oh!! Sorry!! I didn't realise this room was occupied!! Luckily, I was just cleaning my ears 👂👂 But what if I'd been getting intimate or i farted ect Then the manager came and he at least knocked and he said that he'll need to come in the room at 5pm to check out the radiator I said it was fine as I was gonna be out that night When I turned the telly on, the remote wasn't working So I had to change the channels the old fashioned way with the buttons The location is exceptional and the busses run right pass it as it's on a big road which goes right into York city centre The bed was amazing and a nice soft mattress You get complimentary tea, coffee and a couple of biscuits You have a mirror and a sink with no hot water Id say that you get what you pay for in this accomodation It's exceptional. Not good but not bad either 😕😕😕😕

Room wasn't in very good condition - broken window, no lock on bathroom door, no fitting on end of bathroom pullcord, no bath or sink plugs. Beds were clean and comfortable and nice to have a fridge in the room. Would suggest self check in details are emailed to customers rather than longish number codes being relayed quickly in a telephone conversation - we'd just had a really long journey and were trying to juggle carrying luggage in with the phone.

After 4 hours of staying in the room a bug crawled across the sheet. When comparing this bug to an online search it is believed that this is a bed bug. Collections of bugs were found around the seems of the headboard.
