Great short stay
Great location just a short walk to York's historic centre - perfect for exploring the Shambles, the Minster, and other attractions. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, making for a relaxing short stay.

Lovely City Break
We had a river view during our weekend stay, and it was perfect. The hotel is a little dated and could do with some updates, but aside from that it is clean, tidy and quiet. As the hotel is just over the river from the main centre, it meant you were able to have a good nights sleep. The location is perfect with it being minutes away from the centre. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Central Gem
The hotel is a lovely gem in the city centre. Close to everything. Hotel staff were polite, courteous and couldn’t do any more to make our experience better. Reviews were accurate and we would definitely stay here again.

Family trip
Very nice area and very close to main things in york, easily walkable. We were able to get underground parking a bit small but it works. Bed was not comfortable though.

Not Great
Breakfast was the worst buffet I've had this year. Deep-fried oil-filled mushrooms, cheap sausage and tasteless scrambled eggs. Lacking in quality sums up the whole hotel.
On the plus side, good location in central York

Superb location
The hotel was superbly located just over the bridge from most things but at most a few minutes walk to everything you would want to do. Excellent filling breakfast each morning and the hotel staff were very helpful and polite. We were lucky enough to have a river view. It was lovely listening to the boats in the evening and the early morning rowers.

Very dated
It’s a very dated hotel. The bedroom was bare with very plain furnishings. If you’re looking for a place that feels special, this isn’t it.
However, if all you want is a room (that doubles sauna) then it’s ok. But city centre prices, so ok but pricey
Very little in the way of tea and coffee (instant only and a kettle).
