Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I enjoyed the stay, particularly use of a drcent sized pool and a steam room. Cooked breakfast was excellent. Staff were warm and welcoming. The hotel itself is a little dated and could do with a sympathetic makeover of the decor. It is located about 25 - 30 minutes walk to the city centre, but there is a bus service from just opposite.

Nice hotel on the outskirts of town

Nice hotel on the outskirts of town not far from the train station. Quiet comfortable rooms. Great breakfast and pleasant staff. Perfect for a weekend while exploring York.

Short Break

No welcome pack, no fridge, very uncomfortable pillows, no window with a view in bedroom so very dark. Very helpful host and friendly, lovely breakfast, good location for York central, rather surprised to be charged for car parking.

The floor was hugely squeaky - the planks under the carpet really need screwing down.
