Not a bad place, but could be a lot better
Pros:

The bedroom was nice and comfortable

Cons:

There were no staff around and was charged for parking in spite of me being a resident. The breakfast was not very nice.

Looks and cleanliness is fine, improvement on details needed
Pros:

Lovely room and breakfast room

Cons:

Every day different closing times of reception and phone calls because of that. Back door code didn’t work, a bit of a palaver….

Good solid boutique hotel
Pros:

Clean, charming English boutique hotel

Cons:

Ironing facilities missing from the room even though listed as available in the booking. Charged a 60 pound surcharge for my two kids even though I paid for a room with a sofa bed. Maintenance needed on the windows

“Dreadful Experience !”, extremely unhelpful staff. Room unbearably hot, during heatwave 30 Degrees
Pros:

Breakfast was Good

Cons:

“Dreadful Experience !”, extremely unhelpful, inexperienced staff. We arrived for a two night stay at the New Holgate, during the first day of the UK heatwave. We went to our room after check in, but found it very warm, I tried to open the window, but it is restricted to 3 inches of opening.There is no aircon. My wife then went to reception to request a “Fan”, but the member of staff said there were no fans, and the owner won’t buy any. He then gave her an “electric convector heater”. We tried this the first night, but it was noisy and ineffective. The following morning after a hot , bad night's sleep, I went to reception and asked again for a Fan, as we had a bad night's sleep. They said there were none, I requested to speak to the owner, but was told he does not speak to customers. I suggested they should buy a £20 fan, as it would be impossible to sleep that second night, and that day was forecast to reach 30 degrees. They said no, and asked us to leave the hotel. We could not believe the attitude of the staff/owner. We then found a lovely hotel close by, for the second night., and guess what, the first thing they offered us was a “Fan”. The whole experience at the “New Holgate” put a dampener on our break in York.
