We can't fault this hotel. Staff are amazing, very helpful with recommendations on places to see. Next visit to York I'll be booking here. Parking isn't the easiest to find, we had to ring the hotel. The member of staff gave brilliant directions and even offered to stand on the street if needed.

Room was clean, carpet starting to show its age. The only negative was size, it was TINY. There was nowhere in the room to put suitcases except on floor and even then, space so small, stepping over/around it constantly. Would have been ok for one person, but awfully cramped for two of us.
