Komme gerne wieder
Pros:

Das Hotel ist super gelegen in derAltstadt, super Service, sehr freundliches Personal. Das Frühstück ist extrem gut. Ich kann das Hotel empfehlen. Ich würde es immer wieder gerne buchen. Das Minster ist in der Nähe und man kann die Glocken super gut hören.

Cons:

Ein kleiner Nachteil war die Größe unseres Zimmers. Es war uns vorher bekannt. Auch damit kommt man zurecht.

Calido y acogedor Lodge en el corazón de York
Pros:

Su calidez y detalles. Cómoda habitación bien decorada, y reciclada. El baño impecable. La ubicación si bien esta en la zona peatonal, es facil de acceder a solo 2 cuadras de la Catedral.

Cons:

El único detalle de comentaría es algo de ruido debido a su restaurant abajo, pero nada molesto, como también al caminar en sus pisos de madera , pero justamente es lo que le dan la calidez y el estilo.

Hotel bellissimo e particolare
Pros:

Posizione eccezionale, struttura molto bella in un contesto medioevale ristrutturato

Cons:

Poco, direi che la scala è pericolosa, ma in una casa di 500 anni è normale. Migliorerei la colazione con qualche dolce in più.
