The 4-star Principal York, formerly The Royal York Hotel, is set in quiet gardens, with views into the new Garden Room overlooking York Minster.

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.
Located on the banks of the River Ouse, The Queens Hotel is ideally located for the many shops, restaurants and bars that the center of York has to offer.

The approach to the property is off a main road (York to Harrogate) and is difficult to see. The drive into the property is narrow and twists and turns through trees, Signs on the door are not that welcoming, particularly an instruction to take off shoes when entering.
Had we been just passing traffic looking for a B&B rather than having already paid, we would have turned around and gone on to somewhere else. The whole property which includes a small lake is very heavily wooded.
Once inside however it is most satisfactory apart from the lack of space for opening luggage.
