This hotel is very grand. It is in a fab location next to train station. However, we drove and were pleased to get parking. It is first come first served so we were lucky. We were also able to leave the car the next day even when we had checked out - bonus! We were slightly disappointed with the room... More

I was expecting great things from this hotel. Don't get me wrong, I've stayed in worse, but equally I've stayed in better. We booked a junior suite, overlooking the garden (& the unexpected big wheel) but it was smaller than an average Premier Inn room although very tastefully decorated. Small wardrode, no drawers & very little room to walk around... More

By the very fact that it is right nexxt or to the Railway station, it is convenient, but it is also large and very corporate. The rooms are ok if you have a deluxe, they are clean but pretty boring. Nothing about this hotel inspires me. The breakfasts are the usual buffet style, service at table can be slow ,... More

I panicked after I had already booked the hotel this weekend and read the reviews....Soooo relieved staff were fantastic, room beautiful, location could not be better for all the local shopping attractions bars & resteraunts.... Room service food is too expensive though. An old fashioned beautiful hotel, would highly recommend. More

I really cannot find anything to fault about the hotel, except that it is a bit big and thus a little soulless. Fine old building with palatial public spaces, all very clean, staff attentive, good breakfasts, room recently refurbished, good location for all the York tourist attractions or shopping. And although it is not cheap, York prices are generally on... More

We spent two nights at The Royal York for our wedding anniversary. Such a beautiful hotel, worth wandering around just to look at its amazing original features. We arrived at 11 o'clock and asked if we could leave our case but were allowed to check in straight away as there was a room available. The room was well equipped, tastefully... More

Nothing particularly wrong with the hotel in general, very fine looking and fairly well looked after. Only problem was having a room at the top of the hotel and no lift. Didnt eat there so cant comment but the drinks were a bit pricey and they didnt do cocktails (probs couldnt afford them if they did!) the location is good,... More
