Review of Queens hotel

We went to York for a birthday weekend. The location is perfect. A 10 min walk from the train station and very central. We paid for the upgrade to get river views and was worth the extra money. The bed was super comfortable and the staff excellent. Breakfast was good

Good location. Cold and noisy.

Staff very helpful. Rooms were the problem. Had two rooms no 1 and no 9. Bed in room 1 was so hard it was like lying on the floor. It was also very cold with just a small wall heater which did nothing. Room 1 was above car park so noise of roller shutter going up and down was annoying. Room 9 was also extremely cold. Hotel Location was perfect for city access although both rooms suffered noisy drunks passing throught the night. Room 1 was by the guest toilets, bar and cleaning room and we could hear people using the toilets and returning from the bar. The washing machine could also be heard in the cleaning storage room. Hotel still had social distancing signs and notices which hadnt been taken down since 2020 giving the impression nothing had been done to maintain the property. Not what you want to be reminded of when going away for a relaxing weekend.

Weekend stay

A very pleasant stay. Room was warm, there’s no air conditioning and the radiator had to be turned off rather than turned down due to the way the thermostat is covered. Comfortable bed, clean room, noise from the street until nearing midnight but that wasn’t a bother as we were out until late. Car park spaces narrow. Breakfast was really good but busy. Great location for exploring the city, lovely view over the river.

We loved staying at this hotel......as soon as we walked in it smelt clean and fresh. Its location is great.....literally 2 mins from the shops and local restaurants. We walked around till about 9pm and felt extremely safe especially with having our children with us. The light show at the Minster is a must......WOW....it was amazing! We have stayed many times in York before but now we've just found our favourite hotel and at a great price.
