Charming place in a charming City...

It was an amazing experience. Great location, great service in resraurant, good food options. One little suggestion, maybe the swimming slot be 45 minutes and not just 30. It would be a bit more relaxing

Great public areas, pool is a great addition and towels provided too. Room was a little tired and could’ve done with a extra clean. The USB sockets didn’t work which was annoying but not the end of the world. Fridge was a nice addition too. Overall, fair stay but at £125 for the night, a little steep for things not to be cleaned or working. Great location though.

Fantastic

Excellent hotel room number 229. Very modern. Gourmet restaurant - lovely food and could use our taste card. Superb location to walk the walls and for The Barbican. Small pool but only 2 of us so very relaxing. Check out noon but could park until end of the day.

Very small pool and stained carpets/chairs

I was very disappointed when I saw the pool - it's about 8m long; the photo makes it look a lot bigger. There are no showers in the changing room (other than a disabled toilet/shower) which means you have to get dry to return to your room to take a shower and wash your hair! Some of the chairs in the reception area were badly stained and the carpet in our bedroom was also stained. The breakfast was very good with a lot of choice and the staff were all really friendly. Reception was often only manned by one person so sometimes there was a queue but on the whole, it was OK. The location was good for walking into York city centre. Would I stay again? Probably not as I only chose the hotel for the pool which turned out to be a real disappointment.

A bit disappointing

The room we was given was room 111 which in my opinion was not a queen size bed as I had booked. And also on the booking I made it had said car parking was included but I was charged a further £17!! Wasn’t the best experience unfortunately
