次も絶対にここのホテルに泊まる!最高のホテル!
Pros:

●チェックイン
遅い時間のチェックインとなったが、スタッフが親切に対応してくれて安心してチェックインてきた。エレベーターがなかったが、重いスーツケースをスタッフが部屋まで運んでくれて、とても助かった。

●ロケーション
YORK駅から徒歩10~15分程度で、素晴らしい景色を楽しみながら歩けるが、石畳の町をスーツケースを引きながら歩くのは大変だった。

そして何より、ヨークミンスターの目の前に立地していて、窓から壮大なるヨークミンスターを眺めながらの朝食は最高に贅沢な時間だった。ヨークミンスターの鐘の音も心地よく、最高のロケーションだった。

●部屋について
クイーンサイズの広い部屋で、壁紙からカーテンや窓に至るまで、古い伝統的な歴史的なイギリスの部屋で、とにかく可愛い部屋だった。バスタブのあるバスルームは広く清潔で快適に過ごせた。2泊だけの滞在だったが、部屋の清掃もしてくれて、嬉しかった。昔ながらの窓を開けると小鳥のさえずりが聞こえて、心が癒された。

●朝食について
パン、フルーツ、ヨーグルト、ドリンクなど、充分している。別途料金がかかるが、ベーコンやブラックプディングなどのイギリスの伝統的な朝食や、エッグベネディクトなどを注文することも可能。料金も良心的で、味もおいしかった。朝食は7時からはじまるので、一番早くに行き、ヨークミンスターを一望できる窓際の席に座り、イギリスの伝統的な朝食を食べた時間は、かけがえのない素晴らしい時間となった。

Cons:

ない。何も思い付かない。

Lovely area, lovely hotel staff and meals but POOR ACCOMMODATION.
Pros:

The staff were excellent, so friendly and helpful. It was very convenient for our exploration of York.

Cons:

Our room .. for 5 nights was one of only a few with twin beds. However it was small and had a standing fan which the cleaner put on high level. We left it on all day and all night, and also had the window open . The window was also already open with a tube going out to clear any steam as far as we were aware and appeared a necessity. Looking back we should have queried all this but I’m not very sure of myself when situations like this occur.

Surprising good
Pros:

To be honest we were very surprised at how lovely the hotel was for the price and they gave us a large room with the minister as a view!
Also, all the staff were lovely and very friendly.
Breakfast was very good, except for the toaster which never toasts the bread enough, but hardly a big problem.

Cons:

See above

A lovely hotel a home away from home!
Pros:

The hotel was comfortable with all amenities needed including a lift and restaurant and the bedroom was spacious with storage for clothes, a grab rail in the spacious shower and a rubber shower mat and the shower was easy to operate. The hotel was right next to York Minster and reminded me of a hotel Miss Marple would stay in.

Cons:

The room was cold in May with a light doona, however the housekeeper provided an extra blanket when I mentioned it to her, also some extra milk sachets.

disappointing
Pros:

One Member of staff a northern Ireland chap, really helpful and friendly.

Cons:

The check in experience not so good, met with a somewhat nonchalant aged female who stank of cigarette smoke and poorly turned out wearing jeans & hair not combed it would seem and very very unfriendly. No welcome from her just told with somewhat rudeness that our suite wasnt ready til 3pm which is fine but a little more friendliness required. Our cases then just taken away by another man in jeans again poorly turned out. We have stayed at many 4 star - 5 star hotels and have never experienced the same check in experience as at this hotel. This is four star hotel and you do not expect the front of house staff to be so badly turned out. The hotel is very tired and in need of a deep clean in our opinion. The box trees at the main entrance very very dead by box month and these should be removed as it looks awful. The main reception entrance carpet very dirty and doesn't look like it has seen a hoover in some time. The stated view from The Langley Suite is not as stated as it is now blocked by a very large tree so you can't actually see the Minister. The net curtains in our suite were a disgrace they were torn and discolored which is a shame as could be replaced at a very small cost. There were many stains on the carpets. The bathroom has no opening window and no fan, therefore no ventilation at all. There is the ability to put a fan in as we can see from the external facade of the front of the building the other rooms have fans. We felt for £400 Plus a night this did not live up to the pictures shown on the internet for this hotel. It may have once looked like these pictures on the internet or internet platforms such as Booking.com etc but it definitely does not now. We noted the Grand Hotel during our stay in York and albeit a short walk from the town about 400 yards and over just one of the many bridges it was much more a superior hotel it was very clean and well maintained and around the same cost. Choose wisely fellow travelers.
