Convenient. comfy and friendly hotel for a 3 night visit

Breakfast extra, delivered to the room at a time of your choice (not 'English' though!). Fan in the room for heatwave.
Would recommend to friends.

Can't think of any complaints!

Loved My Stay
Pros:

I stayed at Jorvik house for one night and all I can say is I wish I stayed for longer. The place was super clean, conveniently located close to the train and city center, and very comfortable. I wish I stayed for longer. I will be back!

Great location, Great staff. - Parking locally expensive
Pros:

Staff were excellent, especially reception staff. Decor was tasteful and welcoming. Location was excellent, close to all major attractions.

Cons:

Parking was an issue. Only Parking available was 25 Pounds per day, so if you need to park your car, it adds a fair bit to the room rate.
Weather was horrendously hot, only fan we had was about the size of a dinner plate. Given that summers are getting hotter, strongly suggest that management make an investment in some bigger fans.

A great little hotel in a prime location for city centre, museum, art gallery
Pros:

Location was perfect for walking into city centre, the art gallery, the museum, the river. the park opposite was amazing especially during the heatwave. Claire on Reception was a brilliant brand ambassador. 5 stars to her.

Cons:

Room 17 window frames were rotten mouldy. Totally spoiled the whole ambience. To be fair it probably first time they have been open in ages because of the heatwave.
Cost of drinks in fridge were just greed personified, £2.75 for a small bottle of water .
Coffee machine had no user instructions

Pros:

The location is fantastic, easy walking distance from both the train station and the main sights of the city. The room is a good size and has a comfortable bed. In a quiet location. I knew in advance but most rooms are up or downstairs.

Cons:

I wish there was a mirror right over the sink, it was a bit awkward although there is a very high mirror and a mirror right outside the bathroom door.

Me and my daughter had a lovely stay at Jorvik house and would definitely stay again
Pros:

Didn't have breakfast so can't rate. The location of Jorvik house was v good, near the river and city centre, which was excellent because we watched a show nearby which was only about 20mins away. The hotel is lovely and modern.

Cons:

Everything to me and my daughter was good. Couldn't fault it.
