to get started.

Being upgraded because it was my birthday and my family had provided champagne and strawberries in the room.

Fiona, United Kingdom

I was very early arriving and didn't expect to be able to check in, but a room was available. I was just expecting them to look after mu luggage-so well done them, it made my day! My room was fantastic. The windows opened in both the bedroom and the bathroom. The room was large, clean and very quiet. I have to say it's one of the best hotels I have stayed in, in this country. It was so good I come home and re-booked another stay.

Tracy, United Kingdom

The rooms & the location of the hotel was excellent

Andrew, United Arab Emirates

The room facilities were very good, especially the cafetiere coffee and being able to listen to Radio 3 in the bath! The swimming pool was excellent.

Peter, United Kingdom

Loved the feel of staying at this hotel, from the warm introduction of the valet to the bar staff and waiting staff. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The room was enormous and we loved everything about it including the two bathrooms!

Bhoupinder, United Kingdom

All of the little touches really made it. Very friendly and helpful staff that I really felt couldn't do enough to make my stay the best possible. The bed turn down service was a very welcomed surprise. I literally can't fault a single thing!

Carrie, United Kingdom

The room was gorgeous and we loved the complimentary champagne on arrival

Luella, Australia

Roon lovely & exceptionally clean. Bathroom amazing

Jill, United Kingdom

Excellent location to both train station and the centre of York. Beautiful room and loved the feeling of a "Grand" hotel from years gone by.

Alan, United Kingdom

Shower was amazing, bed was huge and very comfortable. There were some nice touches. The turn down service left a card with tomorrow's weather forecast. Concierge service was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Breakfast was lovely too.

Rachel, United Kingdom

Great location!

눉We ordered in room service for dinner and it arrived with a fully set table etc but we weren't told what to do with it at the finish and no one came back to collect it, so it stayed in the room for the night.
눇Close to the city, lovely character, great breakfast, comfortable beds. Easy check in and check out.

눉The room and the hotel in general, especially the pool/spa area, looked very dated, although I read that the hotel was opened only in 2010. One of the main reasons we booked this hotel was the availability of a pool and saunas, however the spa was so old and outdated that we spent very little time there. Housekeeping is not very well organized, we had to specifically request that our room was cleaned one day when we went out for dinner as housekeeping still had not come by...
눇Good location, near train station and close to city centre. For a five star hotel, we found the Grand to be very reasonably priced.

눉The food & service within the restaurant was very poor when my family and I had our evening meal. I understand from speaking to the management that the restaurant has just reopened recently so let's see if it improves in the future. Breakfast, however, was very good.

눉It was difficult to sit and relax at breakfast as we were on a bench seat and were not left alone by one of the waitresses; also the breakfast wasn't good value for money.
눇The room facilities were very good, especially the cafetiere coffee and being able to listen to Radio 3 in the bath! The swimming pool was excellent.

“Fantastic Stay”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Classic Double Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉The extra cost at breakfast. The menu states the buffet breakfast is £20 but it is included in the room rate. Even If you don't have any of the buffet breakfast and order from the kitchen menu you get charged. So instead of a free £20 breakfast we were charged £6 for something from the kitchen. Day 1 we got 2 slices of French toast for £6 on day 2 we got 1 slice of French toast for £6. On day's 1 and 3 we were asked if we were finished with buffet. On day 2 it was taken away without asking.
눇The location is great and the staff were very pleasant and profesional.

눉Building works next to our room (which we were compensated for) after already being moved from our original room because the sink tap in the bathroom didn't work.

“Disappointing, windows overlooked building works and the noise was terrible, started at 7.30 a.m.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • 2 rooms
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉The rooms were noisy as there was massive building works occurring outside the hotel. The second room we had to move to on our last day was overlooked by the builders so the curtains had to be closed the whole time as the builders were literally only a couple of feet away from the window on the scaffolding. The first room was under the kitchen. An annoying buzz went off at 3.00 a.m. and lasted until we pulled the toilet chain. There was a fire drill in the rain on the second evening, luckily we were not in the Spa or shower - others were. We were disappointed with the noise. This was the most expensive hotel of our trip and the most disappointing.
눇The room was lovely but I had to pay another 30 UK pounds on the last night as I had to move rooms and the second room even though more expensive was not as nice as the cheaper room. The noise in both rooms from the building works was terrible.
