Disliked: Cleanliness
There is a lot of sweet paste in the refrigerator, the carpet feels very dirty, the shower towel is very old, there is no trash can or hand washing in the toilet. The room should be renovated. It is not worth paying more than 200 pounds. There are very few types of breakfast food.

Novotel used to be our first choice hotel in York., Sadly over the years the rates became increasingly none competitive and the room designs following a rebrand were a disaster. It would appear that a 20yr old student of design who has never stayed in a hotel was given the job! Not even a coat hook in the room! Having been given a "disabled access" room I went to reception. Not wanting to take a room that was then not available to someone with a disability as we did not need a room of that specification. Reception said it wasn't an issue unless we wanted to move, so we kept the room. The irony.... the room design was equipped with a very large batch

Fantastic hotel next to the Barbican. Great staff

Amazing staff and hotel. We were travelling to see the wiggles for our son as a birthday treat. Everyone was very accommodating, and went the extra mile to ensure he had an amazing experience. Much appreciated

A good value way of staying within walking distance of York. Pool is small but useable, sauna was not turned on. Executive room could have been cleaned better, smell in toilet and hair on bathroom floor but nothing major. Carpark £17 but very convenient. Breakfast good for price point.
