Lovely stay in a complex steeped in history
Pros:

The bed was comfortable and the room was nice and large. Very scenic. I wish I would have had more time to explore the restaurant and other facilities.

Cons:

The car park was expensive and very little spaces left to park my car. I ended up in a small space and my car stuck out quite a way.

Centrally located and very cute but lacks an elevator
Pros:

It was clean and the beds were comfortable. It was walking distance to the main attractions, and the staff was very friendly.

Cons:

It does not have an elevator, so it’s difficult to carry the luggage up the stairs. The bathroom does not have a lot of shelving area to put your toiletries.

Overall an acceptable stay with good quality food but a little inconvenient with the location.
Pros:

The room was satisfactory and the walk-in shower appreciated. Breakfast was fresh but the bacon a little too salty so maybe streaky bacon would be a better option.

Cons:

The location was a little misleading as we thought it was in the city centre. This made walking a challenge for one adult in the party due to mobility issues.

Good location but basic.
Pros:

In a really convenient part of York, away from city centre but within easy walking distance. The main building is beautiful from the outside with a shared garden to enjoy.

Cons:

Our ‘cosy double’ room was basic and in the ‘other’ part of the hotel. On the surface, it was clean but a closer look showed otherwise. A sewage odour greeted us. A previous guest’s tea bags were left on the tea tray. The extractor fan in the bathroom needed a clean. There was mould in the shower tray and a hand print in the wall.
Staff were informative on check-in. When checking out, we interrupted the writing of an email and had to wait our turn.

Pros:

המיקום מצויין ביורק והייתה חנייה נוחה. הגענו עם ילדים וקיבלנו חדר עם מיטת קומתיים ומיטה זוגית. היה נוח ומרווח. המקום יפיפה ומטופח. הגינה מקסימה. ארוחת בוקר בתשלום, הסתדרנו והיה טעים. מקווים לחזור בעתיד!
