Top hotels in Holgate
New Holgate
Our suite was a good size, super clean, comfortable & very stylish with a boutique vibe. The staff were friendly & attentive. Breakfast was very nice quality. A little further to walk in to the centre than we expected & we thought the parking fee was a little expensive which should be free of charge ...

The Milner York
Hampton by Hilton York Piccadilly
Staff serving breakfast were not that courteous, quite rude. Also, breakfast area far too small for the amount of people staying in the hotel.
