We stayed in October 2011.
Travelled up by car from the South and parked at the NCP (When you see the Micklegate in front of you with Premier Inn on the left, take the left at the crossroads, Queen Street, and ignore the Premier Inn sign on the left, take the very next left after that) which was good value and is discounted at the end of your stay. I wasn't planning on using my car so they allowed me to park in one of the warehouses they have which they lock up overnight.
Dragged cases back and went through the aforementioned Premier Inn car park (full) and through the back door of the hotel, queued and then learnt I was in the wrong hotel, there are 2 Premier Inns about 50 yards apart. However, this hotel was the one to get the NCP card discounted at the end of the stay...
Entered correct hotel, very modern and clean, with self check-in.
The whole hotel was immaculate and the room itself was very clean and tidy and comfortable. Plenty of space in the room with views towards Micklegate.
The location is great, there are several pubs within 2 minutes walk of the hotel with an Odean cinema just a few doors down and a Sainbury's Local just beyond that. Throughly recommend The Old Siam restaurant for a delicious meal and excellent atmosphere.
Walking towards Micklegate, its about 15 minutes walk into the city centre, and you are around 4 minutes from the Railway Station.
The reason the hotel loses top marks is because on two of the mornings, the fire alarm went off for several minutes before stopping.
On enquiring after the second time I was told it was nothing to worry about, just a bin that was on fire?? (twice??)
Well, thank goodness - here's me thinking it was something hazardous - like a fire.
Apart from the fire alarm issues, this is a terrific hotel and one of the best Premier Inns I have stayed at, and in an excellent location. Would return.
Room Tip: 2nd floor facing Micklegate was quiet and had a nice view
