From parking the car to walking into the Principle we were made to feel very welcome. The staff were all fantastic. Our room was spotless and a good size. The towels and bedding were excellent. The welcome tray was good quality and replenished daily. The toiletries were nice especially the hand/body lotion.
The spa area was also good and again spotless.
Location is perfect.

Although abounding in reminders of the past, York is very much a city for the here and now, with excellent shops, bars and restaurants, many along the River Ouse. Surrounding it are the medieval city walls – the longest and best preserved in England – and many of the gates that once gave access to the city.
Walk the walls for wonderful views of the city and towering York Minster. Standing proud on a hill, this cavernous church is the seat of the Archbishop of York, the 2nd highest position in the Church of England.
A little south is The Shambles, a narrow street with medieval buildings that now house quaint shops. Going further back in time is the Jorvik Centre, a fascinating museum showcasing the city’s Viking remains. You can even try out archaeology for yourself at the DIG excavation pits, with replica finds from York’s Roman, Viking, medieval and Victorian eras.
Other York attractions include the National Railway Museum, home to the Flying Scotsman and Mallard trains. Around a 30-minute drive away, Castle Howard is a stately home on an over 1,000-acre estate.
Leeds-Bradford Airport is the nearest airport, and there's a great range of hotels, B&Bs and guesthouses in York and on the outskirts available on Booking.com.
A beautiful city if you are looking for a city break.
A beautiful city if you are looking for a city break. We walked everywhere so didn't need to take a taxi. It seemed like the traffic got very busy at time though due to the one way system which a lot of people complain about.

Lots to see.
Lots to see. The Yorvik Centre, The Minster and The Castle Museum are definitely worth a visit. Lovely to walk round the walls. York is a very easy place to get around, with a huge choice of eateries. Plenty of places for tea and a scone.

Parking is the biggest problem, but saying that as York is...
Parking is the biggest problem, but saying that as York is flat it is so easy to walk everywhere. The busses are plentiful and frequent should you want to use them. Everything is within a short walking distance. There are so many things to see, and visit. The array of eateries was quite amazing and the prices more than reasonable. You can go as an individual or family and there are so many things to do and see for all age groups. The people are so friendly and accomodating. York is steeped in so much history.
Apartment is as described by Ad - Owner interaction during stay and booking process spot on , very helpful chap - all info to hand - It isn't a brand new apartment , yet its nice and comfy and very clean - Beds are good - the owner goes out of his way to assist - This is a good clean , convenient place to stay in York - Usually come up to York 3-4 times in the year for the horses so i have stayed in a fair few hotels/apartments in the area, from 3 Star to 5 star - Would i stay here again ? - Yes , without hesitation .
Comfortable, spacey apartment, very quiet even though York was extremely busy. Secure gated area & controlled entry to the flats. Practically across the road from the train station & only a short walk from the main city centre. Easy to follow instructions on how to find the key box & directions to the flats. Great value for money compared to what hotels are charging. It's great to have a whole apartment rather than being stuck in a single hotel room, especially when it's for more than 1 night.
We started travelling very early in the morning. By the time we arrived at the hotel, we were exhausted and it was still too early to check in. The gentleman at the reception was very kind to find us a room to rest at no extra charge, we really appreciated especially travelling with our very young daughter. The location was good, in a quiet area, a short drive to York city centre. Plenty of choices for breakfast, room was spacious, very comfy beds, heat was very good for an early winter trip.
This is a complex of restored historic buildings. They have 42 rooms in different buildings. I had booked the lowest priced room and asked for a quiet room. When I arrived the staff said they had upgraded my room (for free) to give me a quiet room. That was nice. I loved the bathtub and the bed was comfortable. The hotel was just over the river from the historic part of York, maybe a 15 minute walk.
Gorgeous, clean and cozy, this hotel is probably the best place in York.
The staff is excellent, certainly very well trained and very kind. Their teamwork was very good.
Rooms are gorgeous. We went for the cheapest and it was already large and beautiful.
The food at The Rose restaurant was delicious and prices for that quality are reasonable.
Take me back please.
The hotel is in an excellent location for visitors to York, walking distance to various heritage sites. The building itself is very historic, charming and clean, I was upgraded to a junior suite (thank you) which gave a little more space for the 3 night visit. The room was comfortable and well serviced. Breakfast was nice, bar was pleasant and the staff were helpful.
If you're a lover of English cathedrals, it doesn't get better than this. The Dean's Court is located literally across the street from the front towers of York Minster. The hotel is one of those older "Grand Dame" type of English hotels, with a lot of character. Staff was exceptionally helpful. Room was clean, comfortable, and large.
Very nice hotel with excellent staff and customer service, close to the city centre with car parking for a small fee. Breakfast was over priced so didn’t bother as there are plenty of places available for better value in York. Very large comfortable bed, excellent.
Loved my stay here! I would book it instantly. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in a hotel which such character. the small details of choosing your soaps, and the entrance way, to the very comfortable beds and room decor.
Will only stay here when I visit York ❤️
Exceptional service by the wonderfully friendly staff. The hotel had character, the room was lovely and there were great little touches such as fresh milk, candles in the small courtyard and the availability of York Gin (only a few doubles were consumed)!
Very well situated for York Railway Station and a short walk into the City Centre. Nice modern hotel with good sized bedroom and walk in shower. Ideal for a short stay either business or leisure. Breakfast plentiful and well organised.
Hotel is in an excellent location just a 5 minute walk to the shambles and York minster. The room was very clean and comfortable, good breakfast with lots of choice, staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again
This was more a pub than a hotel but the landlord was very very friendly and helpful. The location was good and easy to access the centre of York because I like walking! Room was clean, good shower and hot water.
Staff were very accommodating, welcoming and super super helpful.
Our room was lovely - lots of character - and the location of the hotel was just fantastic. Exactly what we wanted for our time in York !

Breakfast and other meals were freshly cooked.
Hotel location is great - close to York town center.
The hotel is stunning the location is perfect for getting into York city centre and the shambles. The hotel had a gorgeous teepee tent in the gardens with drinks and music.
The hotel does what you would expect from a chain. The parking isn't too expensive for York city centre and is really handy for those that need to travel by car.
