Recently had a stay here and have no complaints, the check in was nice and easy. The lady that did our check in was informative and friendly, didn't leave us needing anything. The room was clean and the room had complimentary bottled water and biscuits. If you need a well priced place to stay near York centre I'd recommend here

Good stay

Good stay. About 30 min walk into York centre. We walked down the river into York which was much nicer than down the main road but takes about extra 5 mins. Room had everything we needed for a 1 night stay. Comfy bed and pillow. Plus car park is handy. Check in system was smooth.

A late change of plans meant i needed a last minute room in york on a bank holiday Sunday. This was cheap and in reasonable walking distance to rhe centre, about 20 mins brisk walk. I had low expectations however was pleasantly surprised, room small but clean with a minu fridge, complimentary tea/coffee making facilities, complimentary bottle of water and even had a hairdryer in the room. For the price paid excellent value for a single night.

Ok. For starters when I came, there was work going on downstairs I wasn't really fussed as I was going out However when I was in my room a cleaning my ears, a man just walked it without knocking He just went... Oh!! Sorry!! I didn't realise this room was occupied!! Luckily, I was just cleaning my ears 👂👂 But what if I'd been getting intimate or i farted ect Then the manager came and he at least knocked and he said that he'll need to come in the room at 5pm to check out the radiator I said it was fine as I was gonna be out that night When I turned the telly on, the remote wasn't working So I had to change the channels the old fashioned way with the buttons The location is exceptional and the busses run right pass it as it's on a big road which goes right into York city centre The bed was amazing and a nice soft mattress You get complimentary tea, coffee and a couple of biscuits You have a mirror and a sink with no hot water Id say that you get what you pay for in this accomodation It's exceptional. Not good but not bad either 😕😕😕😕

Good for what you pay for

Overall, for the price we paid and for a place to simply sleep and shower I am happy with my experience. There is limited private parking at the rear of the building (about 4 car spaces) but also street parking is available. The people are lovely and they were swift and friendly with checking me into my room. We were in a double bed room plus a single bed with an ensuite, and it was all tidy and clean upon arrival. The only downsides was that one of the windows had a crack in it and the room gets quite warm (we stayed in mid July). The room comes with a standing fan you can use though. We also got a takeout to have in the hotel room and it was helpful that we had a mini fridge in our room. It came with cutlery but we did notice downstairs there is a seating area and a kitchen space that I think residents are welcome to use. They also have an ironing board and you can ask for an iron too from the friendly staff.
