A great space to stay in the heart of York
Pros:

Well situated, and though it was louder in the evening being so close to a number of pubs etc, they did provide earplugs. It’s right in the town, so very close to amenities, and feels very secure with the keypad lock for entry to the building.

Cons:

Room was a little smaller than anticipated and would have loved a mini fridge and tea/coffee facilities that were not communal.

Everything fantastic apart from the comfort of the bed
Pros:

The location was great, the facilities were excellent - the building was wonderfully converted. The staff who showed us to our room was very friendly

Cons:

The only thing I didn't like was that the mattress was an old style with springs and my back hurt the next morning. With all the memory foam mattresses available, it would take very little to buy new mattresses.

Don't stay here if you're looking for a quiet location.
Pros:

The room was comfortable and clean.

Cons:

The building is located immediately adjacent to several night clubs in the party zone of York; you can expect throbbing music into the wee hours.

Upsetting as I was made to feel uncomfortable
Cons:

That 1 member of staff and 2 door staff came up to the room ready to kick us out as they found it suspicious that we could afford the room because of the way we looked I wish I hadn't stayed there and I won't ever stay and I will be advising other not to either
