Assigned a room in the attic, with low ceilings and what could only be described as quirky fitments abd amenities. The room was on the front and side of the hotel, so was very noisy from traffic and service vehicles. We were only sleeping there, as we had engagements in the city, so didn't have the opportunity to use the hotel amenities. I don't think that we will return.

Nice quick checkin, shown to pantry to see the range of free nibbles and drinks on offer throughout our stay and then to our room; compact, lovely features, like the dolls house drinks centre, the record player (with LPs and a library downstairs if the ones in the room didn't excite). The hotel has a grand entrance and is very relaxed, some may say bohemian; dark walls, interesting features throughout, lovely bright and comfortable lounge, all in all very good value and only a short walk to the centre of York along a wide avenue-style road, past a park and your first tourist sight is the minster.

The hotel was really nice, however it was just really noisy. The wooden floors without the right insulation enable all the noise from the room upstairs to be hear when some walks etc. our room was the one on the ground floor near reception and the constants noise form thenkitcrh/ dinning area, car park etc made it into a rather disappointing stay. A shame as the room was beautiful, although tired in places still beautifully decorated.

Delightful hotel.

We stayed here before so knew what to expect. The hotel is great and easy access to York city centre. the breakfast seems a little pricy, but you definitely won't go hungry!! Only gripe, £25 a night to park in their car park. As a guest of a not cheap hotel, I would expect parking to be included with maybe a charge if used beyond check out.
