This is York
Stayed in disabled room. Comfortable & well designed bathroom. Possibly could do with additional grab rails in shower. When the room heating was inadequate hotel promptly provided additional heater. Hotel close to York city centre with ample carparking on site (£17/day). Would use again.

Amazing staff
Amazing hotel with amazing staff. The room facilities are probably marked to 3 star standard or whether the five star service from all staff members definitely warrants the four stars.

Graduation Ceremony Stay
The hotel location was great with a short walk into York.
It's a shame that there was a need to charge an additional £17.50 for parking per day when we had spent £250 booking 2 rooms. Plus our complementary drinks vouchers never arrived in our inboxes but the hotel was pleasant and we had a nice stay.

Okay for a night away
Very nice hotel upon entering and the lobby, bar and restaurant space were excellent.
We ate our evening meal in the hotel and the food was good quality but a bit pricey for what it was. There was a bit of confusion over the happy hour deal but the staff rectified it for us really quickly so no complaints there.
The rooms were really nice and very clean, however, we didn't have the best sleep as the air conditioning in the room was so loud. At one point I got up as I thought one of the kids had left the tap running. We also had a pull out couch bed for our son and this wasn't the comfiest.
Overall it was perfectly okay for a night away and we wouldn't be disappointed returning but, being honest, we'll probably look elsewhere next time we're in York.

Great base for a trip to York. Really close to Barbican theatre (venue for our trip). Spent the day after in York, could leave the car in the car park all day!
