Room was very nice, however the pillows could be better. Too soft with no support. Wi-fi in the room was not very good. Staff were very helpful. Breakfast was very good. Plenty of it and good choices. Great location of the hotel for the city centre.( this is the correct spelling of centre. It's not center.We are not American). Enjoyed our stay

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Probably worst hotel experience ever and we have stayed in a lot of hotels. Limited parking equals no parking unless disabled or electric car. BUT massive issue with our room. We were told needed to wait for room to be inspected after it was cleaned and we were there soon after 3 and official check in from 4pm. Fine but .. when we got to the room there weee 6 bags and cases in room from another guest, empty champagne bottle, used glasses and broken light dangling from the ceiling! Lied to by 2 members of staff therefore about an inspection. On complaining at the shambles and paying £250 for the pleasure for one night room only , we were upgraded to a deluxe room. No idea why they thought it was deluxe. Whole place is tired and clearly badly managed. Do not stay here

We were in a room where we had to walk outside to get to it, through broken outside door, up 2 flights of creaky stairs to a converted attic space. The radiators weren’t working and the room was freezing. The furniture was so old, carpets stained and velux windows really dirty. We complained about the state of the room. The lady on reception didn’t seem at all shocked by our complaint. She said that she wouldn’t give a refund as we booked via Expedia. Disgraceful!! Don’t stay there!

Disappointed in Room; Amazing Location

We were put in a room that had no Wifi, no air conditioning and a fan. We were offered to move rooms, however, we were only there for 2 nights and this would take away from our time in York. Location is amazing!! Breakfast was ok, very crowded and hard to get coffee due to how close the coffee machine was to the buffet. Speciality coffee wasn't working on the second morning.

Disappointing and dirty

We checked into the DoubleTree by Hilton York on 30th August 2025. We were allocated room 52 which is a duplex. The room was dingy, dirty with only half the lights working and slash marks on the wall. We went to the front desk and were allocated room 36 instead, but told to keep 52 for the water because the hot water was off in 36 In 52 there was no plug for the bath, the desk gave us one. On the evening of 30th August I got a call from the hotel saying it was a miscommunication about keeping room 52 and they needed it back. I said that we had originally booked that room for the bath as my husband can't fit in the showers. The manager asked that we keep 36 for the night and change again the next day. In the morning, accessing the bathroom in 36 we saw the appalling state of it. Mildew all over the shower, toilet and sink not attached to the wall, plugs hanging off, paint falling off the ceiling and all over the already dirty floor. I have photos and videos of this. We got out and went for breakfast where the staff there were loudly commenting on how much people had eaten and how fat they were. The front desk (who were fantastic by the way) changed our room again, to an actual clean one. All of this took a day and a half of our 2 day break and was so stressful and disappointing. On checking out we were given 25000 Hilton honors points as compensation. The hotel made the account, which was immediately hacked and someone changed the email connected to it and stole the points.

The staff were friendly enough but there are a distinct lack of facilities i.e room service and no welcome pack to provide any details i.e wi-fi or local amenities, the food was untried so i can not comment on that but the room was needing some tlc, wardrobe door handles and drawer handles with parts missing and shower screen with poorly fitting seals made for a very wet bathroom floor, also i think having to ask reception for a shower/bath mat is a bit much, the cast iron bath although a nice feature is slippy as without one
