Great rooms

Rooms were excellent. Had all the amenities necessary for a short stay and is well located for the centre of York's attractions. Only negative was the smell of breakfast being cooked, especially as our room was on the top (5th) floor.

Disappointing stay

Quick and helpful staff greeted us on arrival. Got to our room and we noticed that there was a strong BO like smell the bathroom. On investigation we could see that the bottom of the shower curtain was mouldy. We informed the staff on the desk and they told us that they would sent up someone from house keeping. Nobody came to our room. We ended up taking the shower curtain down and leaving in the corridor outside our room. The smell reduced slightly but still persisted so we thought that the smell was coming from the drains…… Oh, and the bed was not suitable for two average size adults unless you like playing sardines

Comfortable enough, but our bathroom had a pretty severe leakage problem coming from beneath the (fully enclosed) cabinet. It looked as if they tried to repair it, but that was unsuccessful. Since the hotel was very full, we decided not to ask for a different room. Instead we threw a towel over the puddle, and carried on with our visit to lovely York!

Dreadful visit paid £500 for a room that would normally cost £110 per night. This was because the York University day had pushed up rates - that’s ok it’s commerce. I don’t think the staff got the message because they certainly delivered nothing more for the extra charge. They shut the bar at 10 and turned off the lights. The provided only 3 towels for a party of 4. They delivered the extra towel an hour later than they said. They forgot to service our room meaning we had zero towels. They advertised parking as a hotel amenity there is no parking. The local public car park was full. There was no liquid soap in the bathroom dispenser. Even at £110 you would expect them to get the basics right for £500 they need to do so so much better. As a result of this weekend we will be visiting York much more often but I will not be returning to this hotel.

I was disappointed that catering in the evening was very limited - my own fault for not checking when booking. Plenty of eating options close by
