Lovely for a short trip

Jorvik House was really nice. The room and bathroom were very clean and in good condition. Warm welcome at reception and overall very nice place to stay for a few days. My only complaint would be that it would have been nice to have things like milk, tea, loo roll, etc replenished when empty, rather than on request.

Absolutely fabulous place for a stay in York. If you want a clean, stylish, friendly base fir a few days in York - you wont beat this hotel. Stayed in several York hotels- but love it here - just book it ! And a lovely stroll through museum gardens to York centre - perfect 👌

I've visited the property multiple times and the staff are always wonderfully helpful and friendly. The rooms are always clean, tidy and comfortable. It's in a great location, very walkable and directly opposite the museum gardens and very close to central York but off the main road enought that there is no noise when trying to sleep (bar some late night arrivals with lead feet that only disturbed for about 30mins night 1). The Jorvik house will always be my first and preffered choice. And as my Mam's first trip to this hotel she loved it and had the best nights sleep she's had in weeks! Looking forward to our next stay

No lift. It was hard for me to carry my small suitcase. Very small room even for 1 person. The advantage was its location, 15 min walk from train station and to attractions. Right across from the Mueum Gardens In Nov the city wall was closed.

The best thing about this apartment was the washer/dryer. Nice to be able to do laundry. It is in need of serious updating. New sofa (we sank in all but one spot), new shower curtain (mold), a lamp in the kitchen as lighting is minimal, and a new mold/fungus free tea kettle. The garbage dumpsters from all apartments partially block access making it hard to park the car. Plus garbage is often strewn about. Minimum landscape/maintenance effort by front door. Unswept and weeds

Easy walk from the train station even dragging a big bag. We had a very nice room and it was the only place we stayed in England or Scotland that had a fridge (minibar) in room. Easy walk to historic area of City, pubs and beautiful gardens across the street. Helpful staff.
