Top York Hotel Reviews

The Milner York

8/10 Good

"We stayed in a junior suite, and it overlooked the front garden area. It was a large, comfortable room with everything you could need for an overnight stay in York. I would request to stay away from the staircases as there are guest bathrooms for the function rooms, and you can hear everything, which was not great when trying to sleep. The TV was smart and displayed all channels and apps. You could order room service, and the staff was prompt and very polite. Medium-grade breakfast with English and continental options, great value for money - option for breakfast in the room on weekends for £5 extra. About a 10 min walk into the city and close to the train station. On-site parking for £22 pounds a day. Overall, it was great stay and I would recommend it to others. "

DoubleTree by Hilton York

4/10 Poor

"The room is outdated, grubby carpet, creaky floors, you can hear everyone walking above and below you. The noise outside keeps everyone from sleeping. No double glazing. The toilet didnt flush, you had to wait for water to fill up - which took ages. The location was good and so was the water pressure in the shower. That was it!"

Radisson Hotel York

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were nice and big, I had a fab view across the water. Little dated and could do with a minor revamp, but that’s fine. Staff were nice in the hotel. Breakfast was very nice and good for the price (although dining room was a bit difficult to find) Service was slow in the bar area for evening meal, didn’t feel overly welcoming. Food was nice but they made a mistake with a nut allergy that I declared. This was handled really well by the manager - he was apologetic, handled it with the kitchen staff, and replaced & comped our meal. I was absolutely fine and I’m pleased with how it was managed in the end, but more attention needs to be given in the kitchen to stuff like this. Location was good, easy for us to walk to and from to get to everywhere we wanted to in York. "

Delta Hotels by Marriott York

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay from start to finish. Easy and smooth check in with good communication beforehand regarding my specific needs due to disability. Room was super, well laid out and spacious. Bathroom was modern and designed for disabled use. We ate in the on site restaurant 2 nights out of 3 during our stay. Food was really exceptional given it’s a chain hotel. The seabass I had the first evening was really flavourful and the couscous and roasted veg with it was the perfect combination to go with it. I had the crab ravioli the second evening and that was just amazing. Breakfast was buffet style with a wide range of pastries, bread, cereals, fresh fruits and juice in addition to everything you could possibly want in the hot selections. I used the spa facilities both days enjoying a pedicure and a body massage. The massage left me floating and I would highly recommend them. My only gripe would be the treatment rooms are very small and really doesn’t give you much room for manoeuvre! Don’t let that detract you from the treatments on offer though and the therapists are extremely friendly and good at what they do. All in all I have no hesitation in recommending a stay here and we will certainly return, hopefully sooner rather than later. Thank you again for a wonderful stay. "
