The location of the hotel was perfect as it was very close to York Station and very accessible when moving suitcases. There was a nice breakfast in the morning at the hotel. The staff were very helpful and took suitcases to be stored while tourists walked around York.

The hotel is beautiful, and the communal areas are luxurious. Breakfast was delicious and a great selection. Comfy bed and nice spacious shower. My only disappointment was the room I was allocated compared to other rooms of similar prices I saw. I was in room 227, end of a corridor, it was small, no easy chair in the room so had to sit on the bed to watch TV. Having the fridge, safe and tea / coffee tray all stored in the wardrobe was odd, but then the room wasn't large enough to have them anywhere else I was there for a wedding weekend therefore did not feel comfortable comparing my room to other people's but after the event felt quite put out for what I paid. 🙁 It wouldn't stop me from staying again however I would be mindful of what kind of a room I was paying for.

Beautiful hotel, Good location as next door to the train station. Reception staff were very helpful and had good customer service skills. Restaurant food was good although there were very few staff on and this lessened the looked after feeling. Breakfast was good. Pool was lovely but we went about 4pm and the changing rooms were wet everywhere from use. - we were possibly just unlucky that people before us were not considerate. £22 per 24hr extra to park at the hotel. When you pay £200+ a night I would have liked that included. Would I stay again? No,

The Hotel was grand and spacious including bedroom, bathroom, lobby and dinning areas. All very clean and well maintained. Shower was hot and good pressure. Staff were pleasant and helpful throughout stay. Excellent location for City Centre tourism. Would have got 5 star if swimming pool was bigger - though it was very clean including changing rooms. Breakfast was a little bland especially with coffee being served in jugs, though they had sufficient buffet options and dining area was excellent so not a big issue. I would definitely stay here again.
