We stayed 2 nights on a short break to York on a budget. It was about a 15 min walk into the center of York which was perfect for us and a 10 min walk to Delrio's Italian restaurant which we would highly recommend The property was clean and the staff were pleasant. It is worth noting that there is an an extra £10.00 a day charge for parking which is highlighted when booking and is a fraction of the cost of the public carpark charges

Not for us

Booked for a 2 night stay in a luxury room with en suite and 4 poster bed however that’s not what we got When we arrived we where given a standard double which was the cheaper rate room after a chat at reception it appears hotels.com sold me a room that wasn’t available so nothing more anyone could do I was offered a refund for the difference but Iv been home for a week and still nothing so now Iv taken the mater up with the booking site Hotel was very dated and not the cleanest of places but location wise it was 5 minutes to the train station 10 minutes to town and the breakfast was decent We stayed on a very warm weekend and there was no air con or a fan available making it impossible to sleep Would I stay here again simple answer is no

Happy traveller

A late booking ahead of a 8:30 pm arrival. Excellent service provided over the phone, followed up with text and email to make sure that I’d received instructions of how to access the hotel and my room. A comfortable night’s sleep. Easy walk to city Centre.

They didn't have my booking on the system so checking in was not great. Booked breakfast but don't serve that until 8:15 which is not ideal when away on business.

I got the luxury ensuite. The bed, whilst big, was very uncomfortable and was very firm. Additionally me and my partner are quite heavy, and the slats on the bed felt like they were at risk of giving way. Also the plug sockets lacked usb charging ports which created a pickle for us as we needed that yo charge our phones for a long drive the next day. We both felt like a travelodge or premier inn wouldve probably been a better idea. The staff were friendly and the bath was very nice though.

This property is advertised as a Hotel. Not so, it is a B/B property. Apart from the breakfast and staff, the property was so disappointing for us. We were in an attic conversion, no lock at all on bathroom door, curtains falling from window, poor dirty windows, lots of stairs to room obv, which we had not known about, I could go on. This property can surely not be a 4 Star AA standard. I will be interested to hear your views on this matter. On our trip, we stayed in 3 other similar priced properties, this one did not come close to their standard. This "Hotel" description is not correct in my opinion.

Good location & breakfast

Good location and nice cooked breakfast. Booked for a cheap get a way within walking distance however sprung a £10 charge for parking on me in addition for using their car park which I couldn’t find mentioned anywhere although tbf still cheaper than pay & displays in York. Hosts & staff friendly maybe a bit dated but it does have character.
