Stunning hotel, beautiful rooms, gorgeous communal areas and lovely restaurant. Staff friendly and helpful.
Parking prices far too high for paying hotel guests. Lack of TV choices/channels for an otherwise luxurious hotel - expected options such as Netflix, streaming services etc. Very little coffee/tea/milk/biscuits etc in bedroom for what I’d expected for the price and for what otherwise seems a luxurious hotel. I was planning to order room service but no menu in room.

Comfortable hotel - we took advantage of a £20 upgrade to Junior Suite with Minster view which was great. Swimming Pool was good though a little cold and steam room was out of order....
Breakfast was disappointing. We arrived at the time suggested to us on a poster by the lifts when it was due to be less busy. It was very busy and most choices had gone and were not replaced. We had to look for cutlery which staff were slow to provide. Coffee was stewed and there were hardly any pastries left. Breakfast was our only grumble in an otherwise lovely hotel - needs attention. See above re Leisure facilities

Perfect location lovely hotel staff v nice Christmas trees going up looked beautiful Location good for everything and Christmas market 10 mins walk Room clean, bathroom warm and clean
Standard room was very small and only a tiny wardrobe with not much room as fridge safe and ironing board in there. Need a set of drawers. AC doesn't get very warm more of a cool breeze, radiator doesn't work. Lighting is dull in the room. Bathroom ok. Would stay again but check room size. Reception area leads to foyer and seating which in November is quite cold and needs to shut more internal doors. Bar nice atmosphere.

The property location is great. A 10 minute walk into the main town. Also super convenient for the train station. The building is grand and has a sense of luxury in the main areas. Our room was comfortable and the bed was lovely.
The room we stayed in could have benefited from a lick of paint as there were paint chips and flaky walls in the bathroom so not much to fix but shame it’s not prioritised. The Peachy bar area was dirty, spilt drinks on tables, leaking roof and generally grubby. There were no nice areas to drink and relax. The breakfast was ok, understaffed and again un clean. The tables were not cleared away for a long period of time and the food was not refilled quickly enough. Shame. I would avoid Peachy’s and the breakfast. Go out and about.

Excellent location and parking available on site. Nice bar area. Staff very friendly Had a meal in restaurant one night which was lovely.
We enjoyed our stay, only things to comment on was the breakfast, It was great and tasty but a little messy. Had to ask for glasses for juice, butter and bread for toast. As these had ran out. For the price paid would have expected this to all have checked by staff more frequently. Chairs in bedroom were stained as were some in the lobby area which I didn’t want to use. Again as a luxury hotel I would have expected these to be immaculate.

Beautiful room with a great view very quiet
We booked for Dinner B & B, and expected a beautiful dining room and an exceptional dinner considering the cost. The Dinner was well below average as in the Squid was not fresh (very chewy) the brisket was full of fat and the cheesecake was frozen i would expect this at a hungry horse cheap pub meal not in a lovely exclusive hotel like this !!!!! Also i emailed ahead and asked if they could make our stay extra special as it was an anniversary (Nothing at all not even an acknowledgement) really poor would have expected better.

We went for Christmas, Monday to Friday - not the Christmas package, but some parts of it. We booked a room with 'a view', which turned out to be a splendid sight of York Minster. We pre-ordered Xmas eve and boxing day meals, which worked very well. The hotel was quite full but never overcrowded. The staff were great and always helpful. The hotel is next to the station so arriving by train was easy. We didn't hear any noise from the trains, York was a lovely city to visit - the Minster, walks on the walls and a trip on the bus to Pickering.
It surprised us that some families took young children to a hotel for Christmas instead of being at home where they could do as they pleased without affecting other people's enjoyment of the occasion.

Clean, tidy & well presented. Hotel staff very helpful. Breakfast was excellent - had a sandwich for lunch one day which was phenomenal! View of the minster from the room was exceptional.
The evening restaurant: menu limited (which is fine IF it’s good) and things that didn’t really work on every offering. Learnt after the first night to change about what was on the menu to make a functional meal. Service was dreadful. Slow and, at times completely disrespectful - kneeling on floor to take orders then leaving empty plates uncollected whisks all 3 members of staff chatted to the same group of guests further down the room. There was rarely salt & pepper at the table with it mostly being 2 x pepper and even when asked the staff struggled to find salt.

We had a great stay here visiting the York Christmas market. The hotel is walking distance from the centre, so the location was very convenient. I was a little sceptical about our room when given the number 321 as I had recently seen it in a negative review leading up to our stay, but it was lovely! The little touches of the ‘tuck box’ and lovely toiletries in the room were great, and the bathroom was beautiful. All staff were really friendly and helpful from arrival to departure. I would recommend if staying more than 2 nights to go for a bigger room than a standard as it can be a little small if staying longer than this as a couple with a lot of luggage, but it was absolutely perfect for our needs and we loved it!
The only negative thing that happened throughout our stay was that on the first day our shower would not drain resulting in the whole bathroom flooding. After mentioning this at reception they were really helpful and friendly regarding this, and it was all sorted by the time we returned that evening, so it was not a problem at all.

Great location to get into town, having a car park was also an added bonus. Staff were all really helpful and polite and the breakfast was lovely a great selection of food. Having a swimming pool was also great, will definitely be staying again. I also emailed ahead to ask regarding a cot in the room and this was all ready for us when we arrived.
There isn't much to say really if I was to think of a couple of things I did find the pillows on the bed to be rather flat, but I do think if I flagged this up with reception they would have brought some more. Also it was specified on our booking that only some of the suites have a bath and unfortunately we didn't get one this time but that's not really a complaint as it did say on booking.
