Hotel du Vin & Bistro York

8/10 Good

"The night shift reception was not impressive! Someone who could not possibly put a smile on let alone being helpful. Location was decent and hotel was relatively clean given it's age. Did not have the breakfast there so cant comment on that. Bedding could also be a lot better for a 4-starred hotel"

Malmaison York

10/10 Excellent

"Was a wonderful stay during our British vacation. Room upgrade was outstanding and the staff was excellent. Room was trendy and clean. Accessible toilets were on a half-floor above the lobby, requiring a chair elevator to be deployed each tme by staff, which was inconvenient but their novel solution was to be commended (The staircase literally becomes a lift)"

Delta Hotels by Marriott York

8/10 Good

"The staff were excellent and should be commended. The room was very good but not too keen in waiting for 3 days to have the room cleaned considering the amount we were charged for the room. Not really what is expected when the economy hotels do this everyday unless asked otherwise. The gym and pool was adequate for the size but gwt in there early especially the pool as it can get quite busy. The bar was well priced and not overly priced either. The food..well breakfast was excellent and very well laid out although they are not always upto speed with replenishing food which are in high demand. The restaurant...I have to say is well over priced. On the first night we used the restaurant as it was the easier option. I had the brisket mac and cheese...well there was more beef in a beef sandwich from a corner shop. Extremely disappointed especially when it looked like it had just come out of the Microwave. My partner has the prawn risotto....a plate of mushy rice with 5 prawns on the top. Least to say we never ate there for our evening meals again. Other than that we enjoyed our stay."

Crowne Plaza Harrogate by IHG

6/10 Okay

"Our room was very clean. The staff during the day were extremely helpful, alas, not so much when we had a problem during the night. The hotel gave us a credit for this. The breakfast was fine, although, as expected on a bank holiday, super busy. We did not appreciate the proximity of the hotel to the conference centre. Therefore, maybe an idea to check if there is a conference on when you visit and what time it finishes in the evening."
