Room not the best

Breakfast was lovely, service and staff excellent. Room, not the best - had a wall and some kind of unit for a view out of window. Chair had a nasty stain, carpet was quite stained in places. We were put in an accessible room which wasn’t required and didn’t like, couldn’t be changed. Wardrobe rail was waist high and had to hang dresses, trousers and skirts outside the wardrobe. Both being quite tall struggled with sink in bathroom as very low, set for a wheelchair. Not a fan of wet rooms either.

Disappointing stay

My husband and I stayed at the Milner for 2 nights for a birthday/anniversary celebration. On arrival the reception is very impressive in a stunning building, the receptionist was very efficient, gave us the key and directions to our room. Unfortunately the directions included going down one floor in the lift, across the hall and back up one floor in another lift. We were in a side annexe which was disappointing, an obvious much later addition to the hotel. Room was on the small side with a tatty Roman blind at the window which could not be opened. The air con was noisy but on the plus side, the bed was big and very comfortable and everything was clean. As the most expensive 4 star hotel in York, I had high hopes but on reflection would not stay again.

Do not stay in the sidings rooms

The sidings rooms truly let down what is an otherwise lovely hotel . Just pay the extra money and just stay in the main hotel. These rooms are in the conference centre annexe of the hotel (basically a concrete block down the end of the car park) and I was a bit shocked at quite how different they were to the main hotel. It was like staying in an entirely different (cheaper) hotel to the main building. I was initially given a room on the ground floor, which looked directly into the entry foyer (see the picture attached). I found it quite shocking that they think anyone would be ok with staying in this room, as there is absolutely no privacy whatsoever? I asked to move and was given a better room on a higher level, but it was still a pretty bleak outlook onto the royal mail centre and a road with ongoing construction works. Staff were helpful throughout though. Overall, the sidings annexe feel more like a premier inn than a 4* hotel - it doesn't feel like part of the main hotel at all and they really let down what is otherwise a lovely hotel. There isn't a huge price difference, but the quality difference is vast, so just stay in the main hotel.

We loved our 2 rooms here. Beds were super comfortable, amenities were fantastic, food was tasty, we liked the history and decor, & we had great rooms with garden views. It was also nice to say someplace right next to the train station (especially since we brought my senior parents) and have the option of leaving luggage and exploring the city before check in / not taking your luggage all over town. For those driving, the car park / parking lot seem to be large enough to accommodate many visitors.

Hotel itself was really nice. Close to the city centre and plenty of parking. But I wouldn't recommend staying in the annex/sidings. Its a bit like the hotel rooms time forgot. Stains everywhere, cracked tiles, broken seals and ancient noisy plumbing.

Public areas excellent style and space. Staff all excellent except reception clerk who totally unhelpful when our room unacceptable. Bedroom appalling : cell-like grey 12 sqft including tiny 'washroom' with malfunctioning shower and slight sewage smell from washbowl. Only furniture/fittings = bed and 3ft wide plywood cupboard filled with large fridge on large safe and ironing board, no hanging clothes space. Empty space with plumbing pipes where possible missing worktop. No chair, and when I asked for one a metal office chair arrived. Request for other room rejected (unavailable?).
