Phill United Kingdom

The location of the hotel was absolutely brilliant - right in the centre of things. Lots of activity right on our doorstep. The staff were fabulous and the breakfast was totally delicious - I had the Gardener's breakfast which was lovely!

Priya United Kingdom

The breakfast was outstanding. A much higher standard than I was expecting, given the reasonable room rate. The feather pillow made it easy for me to sleep as I usually have trouble with huge hotel pillows that hurt my neck.

Michelle Ireland

Central to everything. Breakfast was really good. We had a refurbished room which was comfortable, clean and cosy.

Minda United Kingdom

Location, friendliness of staff, quirky ness of room

Steven United Kingdom

Central location at a reasonable price. All of the staff is very friendly. The breakfast was very impressive (basically open choice for most dishes you can imagine, very well prepared) included in the price. The restaurant is quite good but the hotel is aspiring to the level of the restaurant.

  • Why do you include parking as a facility when your nearest parking is miles away. This would appear to be false advertising.

    Dear Sir/Madame, The information about facilities is available in the facility bookmark. Let me quote the parking section please "Private parking is possible at a location nearby (reservation is needed) and costs GBP 14.25 per day." Kind Regards, Natalia

  • Is there parking at your hotel?

    Hello! We are located within the York City Walls on one of the main York streets, Low Petergate, just around the corner from York Minster and because of this location there is no on site parking. We advise our guest to use the closest secured car park - Shambles Q Park, only 7 minutes walk from the hotel. We offer 25% discount code for this car park. 24 hour rate is £19.00 (£14.25 with 25% off). To get the discount parking needs to be pre-booked online. Kind regards, Rebecca
