8/10 Good
"This was a nice place to stay for a night in York. It is about a 10 minute walk to the train station, and a quick walk across the river to the heart of town. There are also plenty of shops and restaurants within a short walk. The room was good sized and clean and comfortable. The bathroom was very nice. Very good full English breakfast buffet. The only issue was that it didn't have AC and the room got very hot. We could open a window which worked nicely, but on the other side of the river is a night club that was very loud, so we couldn't keep the window open because of the noise. All we had to cool us off was a fan which worked ok, but not great. It was a Friday night, so that was probably worse than other nights with the noise. It was still a nice place."

"The hotel is located in the center of the city, close to University buses and 5-7 min walk to Shambles. The property looks like new and our large room with huge shower on the 3rd floor was clean. Stuff was friendly and very helpful. We have not eaten in the restaurant, since there are a lot of options close to the hotel. Nice touch was the machine that would allow us to reserve the Uber or reserve the activities around the city."

"If this isn’t the most expensive place in town, it must be pretty close. We were lucky, we feel, to get a room in the modern extension. It was a corner room and remarkable. The girl at the front desk tried to upgrade us for money and with her accent I couldn’t quite understand what the benefit to a different room would have been. It is hard for me to imagine a bedroom at this hotel. We used the spa and it is quite lovely and recently redone. However, a few of the features were not in operation, which was only slightly disappointing. I had a massage that was quite average, unfortunately. I’m glad I booked it with the hot stones. Otherwise I would’ve felt the benefit was not worth the money. I wasn’t expecting a sports massage, but this was too light to touch for my tastes. The restaurants and bars are all good to go. The hotel is on the “other” side of the river and I am of the belief this made for a quieter stay. You are a 10-15 minute walk from the center of the action. Nigel at the concierge was a top man."
