Cosy hotel but don't use if you need secure bike storage
Pros:

The staff were excellent, especially the young man on reception 👏 he helped us with a couple of small requests which we were truly grateful for. Thank you

Cons:

The room was considerably smaller than expected. We didn't like the bike racks. We phoned ahead to enquire how safe our bikes would be. They were in view from road so we had to make alternative arrangements.

Cons:

I'd like to start this by saying that the staff was very welcoming and nice.

However, the list of extras that this hotel requires is quite long and we did not expect it at all. First of all, it is labelled as dog friendly, however you cannot select on booking that you have a dog. We found out the night before via a phone call that we would require 30 pounds extra a night if we had brought our dog.

In regards to the room, the pictures are very misleading. The room is small and the bathroom door keeps open and has no lock, providing complete lack of privacy. In particuliar, the bathroom in our room was right opposite a window that is facing the car park and a street with costant flow of people, were people could easily see you while doing your business.
Furthermore, we noted that the bedside tables have no handles on the draws making them quite hard to open.
Parking in the hotel is 20 pounds per night, as advertised on booking.com, and there are very little alternative options of parking around the hotel.

We did not appreciate being asked about the time of our arrival the day before, which was accepted on the phone call, only to be told when we did arrive that to check in an hour earlier we would have had to pay an additional 20 pounds. We ended up walking to central York during that time, only to realise that with reduced mobility (my partner is pregnant) we were around 30 mins from the main streets.

Nonetheless, we were disappointed by the lack of milk provided in the bedroom. This was available for free only in the downstairs kitchen, with nowhere to keep it in the room in absence of a fridge.
Eventually, we booked for 2 nights but we left after one.

Pros:

Location was good, bed comfy.

Cons:

valve for money, I thought £20 for parking your car and £19 for breakfast was expensive on top of the room rate and the bathroom very small

Fabulous boutique hotel and a brilliant location
Pros:

It is a beautiful little boutique hotel and the service is excellent. The person who booked me in on reception (I think her name was Grace or Natalie- it is whoever was on reception 3 June at 7pm-ish) gave me such a warm welcome and was so helpful. I love that you can get fresh milk and water, and that you are shown to your room. It is also in a fantastic location

Cons:

I had to leave before 8, so I missed breakfast :(

The perfect location for a visit to York.
Pros:

The location of New Holgate suited us perfectly. Firstly it’s easy to locate, has excellent parking and is only a short walk into the centre of York. The hotel has been subject to a recent refit, which is of a high standard. The staff were excellent and extremely friendly and approachable. A good selection of breakfast options were provided and a system of pre-ordering resulted in a speedy service at breakfast time. Also

Cons:

We arrived late afternoon on a bank holiday afternoon so were required to self check in. This was made clear in the comm’s from the hotel and we understood the logic on the day, so it’s only a very minor niggle.

Disappointing, the reality did not live up to the photographs. The room was a little tired.
Pros:

First morning breakfast was excellent but second morning, by different staff, was not so well cooked and had some elements missing. Check-in person was very helpful, but we did not see her again.

Cons:

Access to room (with suitcases) was via 3 flight of steep stairs. The check-in lady helped, i got my cases down by myself to check out. The room was very small and the ensuite was tiny with very little space for any soap/shampoo/cosmetics.
