An amazing hotel
Pros:

The staff were friendly and professional. The room (18) was clean and nice with a courtyard view. This was a Cosy room so was small but was just right for us. With a flight of stairs to get to it. The breakfast were amazing, on our last day decided to have the ham omelette thinking it would be a nice change from all the heavy foods we have eaten all wee from various places. , but this omelette is very substantial, well filled,and tasty. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Middletons Hotel.

Cons:

Only downside for me ( and it really is a small downside) was as a smoker, the smoking area was a bit of a trek to get to and as an early riser was conscious of disturbing other residents. Could have done with a towelling robe. Which I understand doesn’t come with this type of room but is available with other type of rooms. Also other rooms get a robe, sleep spray, earbuds and an eye mask. Something to consider if you want that type of thing.

Pros:

Staff were friendly, and within walking distance to York City centre.

Cons:

The carpet was old, stained, and had not been vacuumed in a long time. My wife had breathing issues as soon as she arrived. I was coughing within a few hours. The tv was old and low quality.

Fantastic, warm welcome, comfortable hotel in a great location
Pros:

The breakfast was excellent including the service, cannot fault it. On arrival, reception staff were very helpful and friendly, a great welcome. Location was perfect, easily access the main town and shops, also just a short taxi ride to the University. Highly recommend.

Cons:

I don't think there was anything I didn't like? At a push, maybe the doors could be modernised in respect that they are card driven rather than a traditional key which makes the room key bulkier?
