A sublime refuge in the heart of York city

The location is perfect for exploring York. Staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. Rooms were clean and loved the attention to variety of tea and coffee and delicious biscuits. The gym is absolutely brilliant. Breakfast is absolutely excellent.

Hotel is fairly well located with a 15 minute walk into the centre of York, we probably wouldn’t use
Pros:

Foyer and bar area was nice and comfortable, staff were attentive and very pleasant

Cons:

We ordered a comfort room which was on the small side very clean and a comfortable bed but the bathroom and especially the shower was very cramped.
