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.
We have already recommended to friends.
We will definitely be back.
On the banks of the River Foss, Novotel York Center is located near the historical city walls and a short river stroll to the center.

Our favorite hotel from our vacation - adored the lounge area and that the room had seperate beds for our kids. Enjoyed dinner in the lounge with the kids playing cards and checkers each night. Delightful relaxed vibe with very attentive and friendly staff. Thier Sunday roast was exceptional

Great location for a stay within striking distance to York & outlet shopping centre. Bus runs every 15mins direct through village to both locations, literally takes no more than 20min. Good pub in grounds of Parsonage hotel & a Thai restaurant that also does takeout, excellent food at both.

We have stayed at the parsonage 4 times and wouldn’t go back if it was rubbish.
The spa is lovely. Swimming pool, big jacuzzi , several steam rooms. The treatments were fairly priced.
The fat fryer has a great menu and again good prices.
The area (Escrick) is out of the way and unless you have a car you could be marooned. I didn’t see any busses but I understand it is on a route.
I’m looking forward to going again soon.

We liked the lovely garden surroundings which were immaculate, the lounge and conservatory where we could relax and the swimming pool and jacuzzi which was excellent.
A good bus service into York was very helpful.
The staff struggled slightly with service at breakfast time when the hotel became very busy.

The establishment was not as good as advertised.
The establishment was not as good as advertised. Definitely wouldn’t recommend or class as 4 star.
Checkin experience was rubbish as did not have the room ready for check in time given on website.
Spa outdated needs a refurbishment and the loungers really close to the floor (no legs on them) making it difficult getting back up from them.
Room was too hot and had to have fan on and windows open all night.
The milk was off in the room and no bin in the main room only in the bathroom.
The only good thing I can say was that the Abbott pub which was on site was very nice with great staff and lovely food and plenty of parking.
We won’t be going to this hotel and spa again as very disappointing

nothing there as far as i could tell, yorkshire water doing work right outside the hotel , did not really bother us until they switched the water off for a whole day, that is not the hotels fault but there again they should complain to the water company as it happens quite often according to staff. on the whole disappointed with visit.

Slightly disappointing as it looked amazing venue.
Slightly disappointing as it looked amazing venue. It could be spectacular but the receptionist struggled to smile and took ages to do things, breakfast tepid, carpets a bit grubby and had 1980s feel to it
The bed was very comfy. Large bathroom with shower over the bath. Lovely soft fluffy towels and Elemis shower gel and body/hand lotion. Tea/coffee in room. Lovely spa with pool, jacuzzi and 4 different hot rooms. Buffet breakfast was lovely with lots of choice. Bus stop into York a very short walk away which goes via the Designer Outlet.
Such a beautiful location and hotel. Clean, friendly with lovely Spa facility. Our food was always very good. The staff at breakfast were exceptional, food was always fresh and plates cleared quickly The Parsonage was highlight of our 2 weeks traveling holiday.
Just a really excellent place. Comfortable and clean, quiet and great facilities. The Fat Abbott pub and restaurant adjacent was also excellent. If I return to the area in the future I will certainly use this hotel again.
The hotel managed to put us up on the morning of our stay after our previous hotel (The Black Bull) rang to cancel all reservations.
The staff in the bar/restaurant and breakfast room were helpful and friendly.
The hotel was absolutely amazing.
The Spa,the PUb and the food ,could not fault any of it.We had a lovely experience and found it great value for money..Bus stip just outside to
Go to york.
Great location, you could get a bus into York outside the hotel, which saved on parking cost in the town center as it’s expensive. The spa was excellent and the gym is well equipped,
The staff were very kind, welcoming and helpful all throughout our stay. Great location, 9 minutes from York central via taxi. Spa and pool were fantastic. Food was really nice too.
The hotel definitely has its character. If you like to travel back in time, the best place to stay. Garden and spa are lovely. Bed is comfortable. Bathroom been renewed.
We stayed one night after attending a funeral wake at the venue. The catering at the wake was excellent. The hotel has character, with a relaxed ambience.
