Friendly staff great view from window discount on food and drink
United KingdomThe location was excellent and easy to walk to the top spots in York. I had a river view room which made the views out of my room lovely. And the large size of the room made it a very comfortable stay.
AustraliaLocation nearby the center, shopping street, waterside and parking. Staff was very friendly Although the rooms our outdated it was clearly well cleaned
BelgiumStayed in a river view room with fantastic views of the Ouse. Modern and updated bathroom with wonderful water pressure in the shower. Location was in proximity of just about everything in town. Had breakfast and dinner at the bistro and it was adequate. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
United States of AmericaWonderful location. Easy check in. Room was clean and well maintained, with good storage for our bags. River view room was nice, 2 big windows.
United States of AmericaWe loved everything about our stay at Lil's. We had only planned on staying one evening but ended up staying three. Room one was very comfortable, clean and had the perfect view looking out on the river. We had breakfast a couple times along with coffee which were both amazing. The staff were super friendly and helpful in every way possible. It is located right on the river and just a couple minutes walk from the town center and about a 20 minute walk from the train station.
United States of AmericaRoom was lovely. I paid extra for the water view room and was glad I did. Had the Sunday pork roast in the pub and it was fabulous.
United States of AmericaHad a great night here. Very comfortable and so convenient for the city. Nice bed, friendly staff. The adjoining restaurant is good too, really lovely right on the Waterfront.
United KingdomExcellent staff! They really went above and beyond. Also very friendly, literally everyone working there. Tom was the coolest though. Boutique hotel so pretty much check in at a bar. Excellent view of the River Ouse. Lot of personality. VERY well located, minutes to some of the best history in northern England! They had a decent TV, very clean room. Nice modern remodel on the bathroom etc. I enjoyed staying here.
