Received a warm welcome at reception ahead of the 3pm permitted check in time and was given a room upgrade. The hotel Was beautifully decorated for Christmas with lovely seating areas and all very warm and cosy throughout. The breakfasts were lovely offering a Choice of cereal, fruits as well as cooked foods. Filter coffee was a disappointment from a flask.

The room was a good size but disappointing. Lacked a character, charm or warmth which I’d expected when booking a beautiful old hotel. The room was disconnected from the main building, passing lots of stained carpets and drunk party goers. The bar staff were low on numbers and we waited a while to be served. Location was good. Managed to park at the hotel. Shame the parking fee is high for onsite. All in all, sadly wouldn’t return to this hotel.

The room was supposed to be a deluxe. It was not compared to other hotels we have stopped in . It was a cold room . A lady came to help with the controls , it stayed cold then maintenance came no better. These were two nice people not their fault. I am pretty sure the heating was either faulty or inadequate. We were offered heaters for the room - but it’s not what you really want . It stayed cold - we only were there for one night so we did not make a fuss. However if we return to York it won’t be at the Milner.

The public rooms are exceptional and were beautifully decorated for Christmas. Our room was clean and tidy but the furniture is dated and a bit odd, with the kettle and cups in a cupboard which meant that we had to take the kettle out of the cupboard and plug it in by the bed. The bathroom seemed recently fitted with a good sized shower. We had breakfast at the hotel my husband enjoyed the range of cooked options.

The room was in an annexe that was reached by a corridor which contained a bucket collecting water and wet patches on the floor. The room was a good size but there was no chest of drawers for clothes. The sink had cold water with very low pressure and dangerously hot , hot water. I feel that the stay did not represent good value for money given the high price charged

Expected parking at hotel to be good. Not only were there no parking spaces available and we had to park on what can only be described as a muddy path - we had to pay £20.00 for the pleasure. Car didn’t seem safe - spoke to hotel staff who said later in the day there should be spaces as people were checking out. It did in fact get worse.

The hotel is beautiful in its communal areas, but the rooms themselves left a lot to be desired. Although it’s an older property, the layout and room descriptions are confusing. Calling a very small bedroom a “king-size room” simply because it contains a king-size bed doesn’t make sense. We had to move rooms multiple times, and each time there was a new issue. In our final room, the temperature was unbearably hot and the air conditioning wouldn’t work at all. On top of that, the sink wouldn’t drain properly, and we had to force the plug out just to let the water escape. For £300 a night, it’s quite outrageous to experience problems like these. I genuinely feel like I’ve had money taken from me considering the quality of the stay. Overall, while the shared spaces are lovely, the room experience was consistently disappointing.
