The entrance and lobby were absolutely beautiful. The breakfast food was OK however for the price paid to be told that I had to pay extra for coffee if I wanted a coffee other than instant coffee is ridiculous!.

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 allowed access to the city.
Walk the walls for wonderful views towards 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 have a go at archaeology 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 30 minutes’ drive away is Castle Howard, a stately home with over 1000 acres of grounds.
Leeds-Bradford Airport is the nearest airport, and there is a great range of hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in York and the outskirts available on Booking.com.
Just an amazing city. The lack of traffic in the centre means people just enjoy. The people are so nice, so polite and funny.
The food is so good, from fish and chips, never had better, to rather special restaurants.
Us old couple felt at home, welcomed. we loved the street entertainers, the market the everything.
Do try Nola restaurant, the food is pretty special. The staff are great and even told me the ingredients for one of their dishes. Caused a bit of a row when my husband told me the best ribs he'd ever eaten.
Thomas the baker is the best, I am a chef. We took loaves home when we left and BLT rolls to eat on our 6 hour journey which were the best I've ever eaten.
The market produce is rather good, the meat stall has a prize winning burger to die for. We bought chutneys from Spice heroes, the mango relish sublime. The flower stall is wickedly good and I returned with some amazing plants.
We love York.

York is a great place for many reasons for the traveler or living or university. With fantastic history in its buildings, great restaurants, huge variety of non-chain shops and plenty of the usual shops found in high streets elsewhere. The often overlooked part is the rivers and parkland through which these rivers run. Prone to flooding in time of heavy rain there are interesting systems of civil engineering to be seen. Walks along and around the old city walls and points of viewing from higher up on the Clifford's Tower. On some occasions elements of the walls protection towers are open to the public to see inside. Of special note is the Hi-Fi shop 'The Sound Organisation' which has to be one of the longest standing Hi-Fi shops in the UK. The other shop I love is the The Kathe Wohlfahrt Christmas shop, this has to be enjoyed any time of the year with an astounding array of handmade clocks. Once you visit I bet you visit again!

A beautiful historic city - can get a bit crowded with tourists. Great shops and restaurants - The people are super friendly. I loved a couple of shops, The Yorkshire Soap Company, 10 Blake St, York YO1 8QG,
An italian restaurant we ate at: La Vecchia Scuola - 62 Low Petergate, York YO1 7HZ, United Kingdom - it's inside a 300 year old former school.

Such an interesting and enjoyable city for its size.
Such an interesting and enjoyable city for its size. Two days were adequate to visit, I enjoyed the Jorvik visit and walking by the river . A great variety of restaurants , but count your change ,I was purposely short changed 5 pounds when I paid for a meal at a Turkish restaurant and then didn't check my change at the time, left a bit od a sour taste , although the meal was good.

Absolutely stunning place.
Absolutely stunning place. York is filled with shops, pubs, bars, restaurants and tourist attractions. We visited the York dungeons, York castle museum, Clifford's tower, the army museum and we did the river cruise. Thoroughly enjoyed all of what we did. Just wish we had more time to do more.

We visited York Minster which was beautiful inside. Afternoon tea at Betty's Tea Room which was so good.

After travelling to York a couple of times a year for the last 20 years, it was our first time using this hotel. Galtres is easily the best hotel that we have stayed in. Our room (5) was cosy, clean and great for people watching. Breakfast was delicious and made to order. You literally cannot get any closer to the city centre and the 25% discount on Shambles Q Carpark was brilliant. The staff were super and nothing was too much trouble for them. We will definitely be staying here again in the near future.
The location of the hotel was close to the centre of York City centre - easy to walk to shops and sights..there is a Tesco nearby as well.. The hotel itself was a standard Hampton by Hilton so a comfortable stay as usual - breakfast is included in the room and there was a good variety to choose from. All in all a good stay and met our expectations
Returning many times as a lover of this delightful country house hotel in charming and convenient surroundings. Great access into York City Centre, but once within the hotel grounds you could be deep in the country. Everything meets expectations with reasonable prices that are clearly flexible and influenced by occupation rates.
Stayed the first time because they sponsored my sons Rugby team. Have stayed in two other York hotels but I just love the friendliness and ambiance of the Moxy and its convenience to the Minster and city centre. All the Staff are delightful.
