Good location for walking into York and a beautiful old building. Staff are helpful and friendly however pool is a 15 minute walk away at another site so more of a case they know someone with a pool rather than having one. Hotel is split over 2 buildings, the hotel and the lodge, we where in the lodge across the road which is 3 floors with no lift so not really suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Room was nicely decorated and spacious but not as clean as it could be and probably a personal thing but had feather pillows which we struggled to get comfortable on and the noise from the room above sounded like a herd of cattle in steel toe cap boots running round. Breakfast was a mixed bag, full English was very poor but eggs Benedict was very good and because it is served in the main hotel block you have to leave the lodge and cross the road in all weathers to use. So overall the hotel building is beautiful and good service but don’t bother taking your swimming costume and I would recommend call ahead to ask for a room in the main building, ask for non feather pillows and stick to anything other than the full English for breakfast.

Very sweet and helpful woman at the front desk at check in. They noted our party would like to be adjacent and saved us connected rooms. Check in was quick and easy except their form requires 4 signatures per room which was a lot of signing after. A long trip. Our courtyard room was spotless, quiet and comfortable. It's small but very well appointed.

The hotel was excellent. Beautiful building with historic features throughout. We loved the 'lodge-style' room in the courtyard, brilliantly quiet and well decorated. Clean and modern with great facilities including: iron and ironing board, tea/coffee tray and in-room safe. The TV was a large wide-screen. Would have wanted a second bedside table as one was missing but that's being picky! Would definitely stay again as the location a short walk from the station and Mickelgate was ideal!

The room was really nice, spacious and clean and we enjoyed breakfast. It was however very noisy and we were kept awake by the people upstairs for a while before bed and were also woken at 5:30am by people opening and closing the doors and being generally noisy and by a van reversing with his sensors beeping right outside our window. We were very disappointed that the pool is not on site and a 15 minute walk away as this is not made clear when booking and is the main reason we chose this hotel. We also were not aware that there are 2 buildings- we were put in the one over the road and not in the actual hotel which may explain why it was so noisy and we felt a bit like the poor relations! Overall an ok stay but wouldn’t stay again unfortunately

This is the best hotel I've stayed in in York and I've stayed in quite a few. Great front desk service, gorgeous decor, lovely room - great decor, comfy bed, lush pillows, nice lighting, powerful shower, blackout curtains, functioning air con / fan / heating system. The school parking is less than 100m walk from the front desk so is no bother to use. Easy access to city centre by uber, walk or bus. Will stay again.

Everything was really nice and we enjoyed our stay. Rooms were nicely decorated and had a very cosy feel. Perfect pick for visiting the racecourse too. Only downer was the food lorry delivery at 5:55am outside our window that was ridiculously noisy. Went on til 6:35am and there was no chance of going back to sleep. Didn’t bank on waking earlier than I have to normally whilst enjoying a treat away from home. Eating in the restaurant was good but several options were unavailable on the menu and the only white wine they had in stock was Chardonnay. I think both problems were just bad luck for us. Would still recommend.
