Horrible basement room that stank of drains and sewage to the point that we could not stay there over night. Very unfriendly staff who did not deal with our issue well. Disgusting establishment and would warn anyone not to stay there. Awful experience.

For a 4 star hotel we would have expected a safe and fridge in the room, there was also no toilet brush in our bathroom and as the room wasn't cleaned during our 2 night stay (unsure why not) this was disappointing. There was a large residue of dust on the top of the bathroom mirrors. It was not the fault of the hotel but the loud noise from the courtyard at 7am from a delivery of beer barrels both mornings was very disruptive as our room overlooked the courtyard. The location of the hotel was great.

Located in a great place right near loads of shops and restaurants. Brekkie at Bill's round the corner on 1st day then after wandering around York for a bit you're spoilt for choice on where to eat for thecrest of the stay. Veey characterful hotel like most of York. Room was lovely and all the staff very pleasant and helpful. Would definately stay again.

15 minute walk from the station. Cant be faulted on location. In the middle of the shopping area with plenty of food establishments right outside. Yet not too busy. Pedestrianised during the day. It was easy to find everything within 5 minutes walk. The cathedral, the Barbican, The Shambles etc.
