Lovely hotel in central location with beautiful public areas, friendly staff and good breakfast. However, our room - allegedly a superior - came up short in a few areas. It felt quite cramped, was very dark and did not have a hairdryer (surely standard in a 4-star hotel?) or a decent mirror for make-up. We also had a rather uninspiring view of the railway station, although happily we couldn’t hear the trains. Plugs were not very well positioned, so I had to dry my hair (thankfully I had my own dryer with me) without being able to see what I was doing. We also didn’t have the complimentary water we had been promised in the booking info. On the plus side, everything was spotless, we had sufficient towels and the bathroom was very spacious with an excellent shower.

Very confusing and difficulty with finding the parking. No where to park on the hotel ground. Doesn’t feel as relaxing and cosy as expected. One of the chair in our room was minging with stains. The door attachment was broken but it was fixed after we mentioned it to the reception. It was ok stay but nothing special about the hotel.

The location of this hotel was amazing, only a minute walk from the train station and the building is beautiful! The room was all you could need. Our tv was oddly placed tho which was a little annoying. They also incorporated a lot of ecofriendly alternatives.

We had a great stay. Beautiful building and a beautiful room. It’s attached to the train station, so dropping off your luggage is a breeze and you can get to exploring right away. It’s only minutes to walk to the Shambles or explore the wall around the city. The bed was super comfortable which nice after a long day of walking. We would highly recommend staying here if you are planning a visit to York.

LOCATION! If traveling by train, so convenient just steps from the station but once there you don’t even notice the station. Exquisite hotel and grounds just a stroll from the walled city. The location out of the walled city is much calmer and relaxing.

Everything is good except the WiFi. Be prepared with your own data plan as there is no WiFi inside the room. I stayed in 2nd floor in a Junior Suite in the main building, so if no stable WiFi for the suites in the main building, don't expect it to work elsewhere.
