A friendly, well situated hotel for visiting York. I highly recommend this hotel.
Pros:

The room was outstanding,comfortable and private. The attention to detail was very good. The food was excellent and well presented. All the staff were very welcoming and helpful.
The location was incredible. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to see. It is quite an unusual way to have an 8.00 alarm of the Cathedral bells. Great way to start the day.

Cons:

Not applicable

Tired
Pros:

The staff, especially Beata, were very helpful and so friendly

Cons:

The hotel is very tired. The carpet throughout is old, worn and stained.
The front door gives a poor first impression with the plastic 'stuck on' handle and the steps having 'warning tape/broken'. Frobt entrance was covered in dirt, leaves etc
My room was small and on the top floor with the window so high I couldn't see out

Pros:

Great location, in front of York Minster.
Close to the main attractions and a short distance from the train station. Friendly reception staff.

Cons:

Good breakfast, but for a 4-star hotel, it’s missing ham, cheese, and homemade cake.
White light at the room.

Excepcional, definitivamente volveremos!!!
Pros:

El hotel se encuentra a unos 15 -20 minutos de la estación de tren a pie y desde las habitaciones puede verse la Catedral, imponente y apacible.

La habitación tiene un aroma delicioso, amenidades incluidas como botellas de agua, variedad de tés y café, sodas y chocolates, dejaron en la habitación una postal de cumpleaños por parte del equipo de Recepción, la cama es bastante cómoda, muy amplio el espacio, un par de sillones, el baño con tina y regadera también bastante espacioso, busque por todos los cajones y cómodas y no encontré la secadora dentro de la habitación, más no fue un problema.

Optamos por el desayuno incluido, es un pequeño buffet y el plato fuerte es a la carta, surtido y apto para todos los gustos, la vista es hacia la catedral lo que hace que tomar café sea mucho más placentero.

Cons:

No encontré la secadora en la habitación, no paso nada sin ella.
