Great location but overall not what we expected.
Pros:

Excellent location, a walk away from tge station on yop of the Minster.
The shower was good and shower room spacious.

Cons:

The twin bed room had no window only a door to a yard. The photos show twin bedded room with visible windows. We expected to get this room.
The room was damp.
The extras were too expensive to buy.
£2.50 for a Kitkat!!!

Lovely welcoming place to stay
Pros:

Close to the city, very quiet, staff very good, would definitely revisit , exceptionally clean, welcoming , room was cosy

Cons:

Not a very good breakfast menu, only continental or sausage, bacon rolls, would be nice if a breakfast room available , but image space is the issue here, , instead we went into town 5 mins walk for breakfast, but apart from that it's definitely well worth a visit.

Ok for 1 night not for any longer
Pros:

Clean but basic - definitely not a 5 star property as advertised - I would rate it a 3 star / no breakfast facilities where one could eat breakfast. No lounge area for relaxation. Our last night was interrupted by bells from the church opposite (the practicing was not relaxing for us). They rang constantly from 7:30 until 9:00.

Cons:

Staff training required for a more hospitable welcome

Lovely place, great location and excellent customer service.
Pros:

This was our third time at Jorvik house. We love this place. The location is excellent everything on your doorstep.
Lovely rooms and staff

Cons:

Not much to not like.
However we were on the ground floor this time which we found a little noisy with passers by which also meant we had to keep the windows and shutters closed.
Next time we will request an upper floor.
The mattress was also very uncomfortable and could do with replacing or placing a mattress topper on as you could feel the springs which left myself and my partner with bad backs.
Really don’t like to say anything negative as we both love this place however this could do with improvement.
