As I made the reservation through a travel agency, probably I took the best rate available room… Not the best room… Hotel is very well located, kind staff, nice breakfast, but the room was not what I expected. I have stayed in a room at the Lodge. The old construction did not isolate the noises coming from the rooms upstairs.... More

Struggling to find an hotel when I rang up this one. Exceptional service from the receptionist. They only had 2 rooms available so took the room with the bathroom up the spiral staircase but then decided it was not for me so went to the disabled room. Great sized room with all what you would expect. Flat screen TV, huge... More

Stayed 4 nights on business. First night was Saturday, arrived at 7pm, there were no parking spaces left, had to park in a pay&display car park at my cost. Stayed in the new extension part of the hotel, the floor boards creaked and you could hear guests moving around in the room above, very noisy. The room was west facing... More

We booked a 4 person room for the three of us (myself, mum and younger brother) which comprised of very comfortable twin beds and a double sofa bed which wasn't as comfortable but still more than adequate for what it was.

Stayed for 2nights whilst visiting York. Checkin staff were very helpful and the room was excellent, spotlessly clean with a good sized bathroom. Breakfast was average, there was a good selection but the bacon and sausages appeared to have been cooked many hours previously and the fried eggs were very hard. But overall a very pleasant stay and would recommend.

We were given one of the back family rooms. The floor boards and chair creaked when anyone moved. There was no bath in our room just a very tall shower where my 6 year old could not reach the soap. The toilet roll holder was so far from the toilet that an adult could just reach it. Not very family... More

I stayed here on a weekend singing visit to the Minster and chose it for its location just 5 minutes' brisk walk from the Minster. Being just opposite the city walls it's an ideal starting point for a walk around the walls, and I'd certainly recommend doing that for some excellent views of what the city has to offer. My... More

Stayed for a long weekend trip in York. Booked for three nights - had the most comfortable bed ever!. Staff were great - and very helpful and the location for sightseeing in York - or catching one of the tour buses- was superb
