fantastic location. super staff, nice restaurant.

Spencer United States of America

The location is ideal for a visit of the city, minutes walk away from the station and the Rail Museum, one minute away from the Minster, and in the heart of the old town. The hotel has charm, the staff is extremely helpful, the breakfast offers a good choice and what we ordered was excellent.

Christian United Kingdom

Fantastic location, right in the heart of the city, only steps from the Minster and shops. Staff was wonderful in every way, always went out of their way to help. Great food and service! I had terrific fish and chips! Shower was terrific.

Stacey United States of America

staff were amazing and the hotel was comfortable and very clean! easy access to the old team, definitely will be back thank you so much.

Annemarie United Kingdom

Excellent location, right in centre of York within the city walls. Excellent breakfast Very friendly and helpful staff

Avril United Kingdom

We had an excellent experience here. The lodge itself was comfortable and charming while the restaurant (Forest) was absolutely magical. We had dinner, breakfast, and afternoon tea there and had to make ourselves eat somewhere else for later meals so we could explore the city. The location of the lodge could not be better.

Ashley United States of America

Location is fabulous. Hotel is small but the rooms are roomy, there is a handy restaurant attached with the best pancakes in the am. Staff was nice and helpful.

Annie_texas United States of America

The room was really cute. Loved the old building and the furnishings were antique but not stuffy. Excellent location right in the middle of town.

Olivia United States of America

cute little old hotel in Great area if you’re visiting York.

Shannon United States of America

Galtres Lodge is right in the middle of walking, shopping and pub district of York. It was a perfect location to explore the myriad of shops and pubs. There are lots of eating options within 10 minutes walking. Being in the very center and it was Halloween, we were expecting some noise, but our room was very quiet and very comfortable. Breakfast was exceptional. The grilled Kipper and toast was absolutely delicious as was my wife's Eggs Benedict. Although we didn't get a chance to eat dinner at Forest, the menu looked great. I'd highly recommend Galtres Lodge as a perfect location to explore York.
