Pleasant stay with lovely staff
Pros:

Convenient position, lovely staff.

Cons:

Thought the price of the accommodation should include the car parking.
Television wouldn’t turn off so had to take the card out which meant everything electrical went off too!

Pros:

La struttura è bellissima e anche le camere, molto belle , il ristorante è buonissimo.

Cons:

Non apprezzo la colazione calda al tavolo senza buffet. Buona , ma troppa attesa è la mancanza di un buffet non aiuta

It was Comfortable, clean, convenient and we had an enjoyable two night stay.
Pros:

The welcome greeting by Ian made us feel comfortable and at ease as his friendly but professional approach explained everything we needed to know.
The rooms were lovely and clean and the bed was comfortable.
The Uniqueness of this hotel made it very interesting. The food and service were excellent and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. One evening we had pizza in one of the pods in the garden area, lovely cosy atmosphere with warm blankets and twinkling lights.
It was conveniently situated within walking distance to Yorkminster and surrounding area and the map given to us at reception helped us plan our routes.
Car parking was available at this hotel which was a great help.

Cons:

Nothing.

Great hotel, location and friendly staff.
Pros:

Great location only 5 minutes walk from York Minster. Parking was a bonus it wasn’t free but it was secure and convenient. The hotel theme was quirky but tasteful. Bar and staff brilliant.

Cons:

Breakfast was a little disappointing for the money. We paid £75 for two adults for two mornings. Everything was table service and I do prefer to help myself to juice, fresh fruit, yoghurt etc and unfortunately the sourdough toast was too hard to eat.

A Slice of History at the Churchill
Pros:

The Churchill oozes history. Our room on the first floor had modern twist on character. The bathroom was bright and spacious. Enjoyed a great pizza in the igloo in the beautiful outdoor area. Dining room is very charming.

Cons:

We thought breakfast at the hotel was expensive, so ate elsewhere.

Overall, we had a good stay, the atmosphere of an old building was a great influence on our choice.
Pros:

The quality of the food was good
The service was good, staff were friendly and smartly dressed
The atmosphere and charm of an old builing was a great influence on our choice of accommodation.
The Chirchill is well placed for easy access to the city centre and the local attractions.

Cons:

We booked the Chirchill because it was close to the city and attractions and offered high standard accommodation. That being said, we had a bit of a shock when we received an email two days before our stay advising us of a car parking fee of 18.50 per night. There was no mention of a parking charge when I booked.
The hot water was off one day and the receptionist advised me it's because the plumbing is old and they can't upgrade it because the building is heritage listed. (I'm a master plumber and I know this is not true)
