“Overrated - Not the Place for Romantic Weekend.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

First, this isn't a bad place to stay - it's just below what my wife and I expected for a 4 star and from reading the reviews. The good; location is good, well placed for public transport and only a 15 minute walk along the river into the city. Breakfast, no complaints at all, very good.

The service was friendly although we had no reason to ask for anything out of the ordinary. Getting replacement tea bags and milk for our room was more difficult. The owners has some friends or family round on the Saturday night, which was fine except that they could be heard until around 2 am, depriving us of our sleep. Back to the tea bags - my wife tried to catch the attention of one of the family during their party to get some extra tea bags, to no avail. She did catch their attention, but whoever it was decided not to do anything about it.

Generally the place was clean, although most of our towels were frayed. The mattress felt old, but I slept ok apart from the Saturday night. No blackout blinds either, and a rather small en-suite.
To sum up - nice enough place, overpriced and spoiled for us by a noisy Saturday night. Not the place for a romantic weekend away.

Room Tip: Avoid the ground floor!

“The Limes = Quality of service and high standards”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2011

person found this review helpful

We reviewed the Limes Hotel and arrived for a weekend break to celebrate our wedding anniversary with very high expectations and the Limes Hotel did not dissapoint. The excellent service began on our arrival with advice, information and directions on how to get to some of the key tourist attractions of York. Our room was very clean and well presented and the en-suite was spotless. There was an ample supply of tea and coffee available in the room and this was topped up every day. We chose to follow the advice of our hosts and walked to York centre following the river and this was a pleasant short walk. So much so that we never moved the car from arriving to leaving. The breakfast at the Limes Hotel is fantastic with plenty of choice and I strongly suggest you try the full english. All in all, this was terrific break and we would not hesitate to recommend the Limes Hotel to anyone. If you want a hotel with high standards, terrific service in a quieter part of York and offering a nice gentle walk into the city then don't waste time reading reviews of others because you have found what you are looking for. I am not one for writing reviews, but felt the Limes Hotel derserved credit for the quality of service we were given. Trust me you will not be dissapointed.

“Clean, friendly, quieter section of town.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011 via mobile

Our room was clean, with a recently refurbished bathroom. Only complaint was old, flattened pillows. Excellent breakfast, excellent service, near public transport, good value for money. Away from the hustle and bustle of the centre of York.

“Great place, people and breakfast - Highly recommended”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 August 2011

We called in on the off-chance looking for an overnight stopover on our way to London. The lady was extremely welcoming and we had a very comfortable stay. The place was immaculate and the breakfast superb. The best thing was their willingness to assist when I left my insulin package behind. They quickly assisted and sent it off by courier to our London hotel. They wouldn't even accept my offer to pay the courier fee which is amazingly wonderful and I am very grateful to them for such kindness. Their Silver Award should be instantly upgraded to Gold in my opinion.

“Great Place, People and Breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 August 2011

We arrived late afternoon looking for a place to stop overnight on our way to London. The lady was so welcoming and we had a very comfortable stay in this charming B&B. The whole place was immaculate and the breakfast superb, setting us up for the day ahead. What really impressed me was their willingness to help out when I inadvertently left my insulin package behind. They were quick to get it couriered to our hotel in London and for that I am extremely grateful. They would not even let me pay for the courier which was amazingly wonderful. Thank you so much - Your Silver Award should be upgraded to Gold in our opinion.
