Great location misleading room booking information.
Pros:

Great location. Friendly staff

Cons:

The room. At no point were we aware we were booking a room that was fit for wheelchairs. The accessible bathroom was hard to use - v low washhand basin , level access shower drainage issues meant whole bathroom area wet after showering. No windows too just skylight . Expensive for the room

Perfect location in a beautiful city. Excellent hotel -Highly recommended
Pros:

This hotel is in the perfect location for visiting York. The service was excellent and all staff were friendly and welcoming. Our room was very spacious with a large bed and a lovely bathroom. We also had a view of the Minster from the window.

Cons:

There is no parking available at the hotel but that is consistent with most hotels in York. The hotel does offer valet parking with a daily fee but we did not use this.

Pros:

Super emplacement à coté de la cathedrale. Acceuil très sympathique. Service de voiturier très appréciable. Déco un peu vintage mais agréable. Juste un petit bemol sur la vue depuis la chambre sur des toits.

Very welcoming and perfectly positioned hotel for a visit to York. Great staff.
Pros:

Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast very good. The hotel is in a superb location for a trip to York. One of our family has limited mobility so the central location was an important factor in the choice.

Cons:

Its a bit pricey, but the location makes up for this and I would go there again.
