Pros:

Super nice little hotel, perfect location (10 mins walk from the train station, 5 mins walk to the Minster). The staff at the reception was lovely, the room was cozy, quiet and warm. I have looked at other, slightly cheaper places in York and decided to splurge a bit and it was absolutely worth the money. 100% recommend!
