Staff very friendly,hotel in dire need of refurbishment, car park like a building site.They do have a nice swimming pool but one wall needed re plastering.
Nice hotel on the outskirts of town not far from the train station. Quiet comfortable rooms. Great breakfast and pleasant staff. Perfect for a weekend while exploring York.

Short Break
No welcome pack, no fridge, very uncomfortable pillows, no window with a view in bedroom so very dark. Very helpful host and friendly, lovely breakfast, good location for York central, rather surprised to be charged for car parking.

The floor was hugely squeaky - the planks under the carpet really need screwing down.
Staff very helpful and friendly- breakfast was great too. The hotel is welcoming and warm, decor is a little tired, but the rooms have character 😊

Not good
I bought this stay for my wife and mother in law. My wife’s room had a leak which wasn’t rectified meaning she couldn’t use the shower. The breakfast wast also poor quality and when mentioned to staff my wife was told “oh really”

Very friendly and attentive staff. Cleanliness is clearly a priority for this hotel. The hotel requires modernising especially in the older part of the property. It's a bit tired in places. The shower in my room was almost a trickle and in need of replacing. Overall I would recommend staying here.
Perfect service, lady on the check in was lovely, polite with good manners . Explain me everything, show me the room.

it would be helpful to make clearer the charge for parking.
Our vehicle was parked of an evening say 7.00pm - 7.30 am and yet still the full charge made.
