Top York Hotel Reviews

"Excellent hotel.will be stopping there again."

Delta Hotels by Marriott York

DoubleTree by Hilton York

10/10 Excellent

"We have been twice to this hotel and we have enjoyed it both times,staff friendly, breakfast very good, close to York Minister, the shambles and other shops"

The Milner York

10/10 Excellent

"The room was beautiful - much like the hotel! We had a walk in wardrobe and an extra room with a sofa bed and TV. Very spacious - which was perfect. We had some drinks in the garden room and the bar. Both very beautiful and great selection of drinks. Very much recommend staying here!"

ibis Styles York Centre

8/10 Good

"Hotel was clean and fresh smelling. Our room was well laid out with plenty of storage and space around furniture so we weren’t bumping into each other. The bathroom was a little tired with a leaky shower pipe, a missing dial front, stained door seals on shower cubicle and a loose toilet flush. Once again plenty of room in the bathroom. We had a corner room on the ground floor facing the street so the traffic was quite noisy but we still managed to sleep well enough. Breakfast choices were amazing and I’ve never seen such a vast offering of items before. All the main cooked items, fresh fruit and fruit salad, yoghurts, pastries, continental meats and cheeses, cereals and plenty of little extras to make yoghurt bowls. I looked forward to my muesli with added chia seeds and cranberries on our second morning as it was so tasty the first day! Staff were all very pleasant, friendly and helpful. My only tiny issue was the cost of the parking on site as I couldn’t find this listed on the website anywhere so that was an extra expense we weren’t expecting. Great stay in a city heaped with truly interesting history and so many breathtaking buildings"

The Queens Hotel & Victoria Cloisters

10/10 Excellent

"Four of us rented an apartment in the cloister, which was very quiet and clean. It was conveniently located, not far from the train station and just across the river from York old town. It was great to have our own kitchen facilities. The furniture in the living room was colorful but uncomfortable, springs and stuffing were shot. And the dining table was in a corner only 4 small children could have squeezed into. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms warm and clean. We enjoyed our stay."

The Grand, York

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. Would recommend"

Hotel Indigo York by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"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."
