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 clean comfortable room. Check in was a bit difficult as it is done over the phone and the guy was a bit stroppy. Apart from that room was pleasant, easy access and free parking was great.

Nice place to stay

I don't care about some negative review in this place. All I need is a place to sleep with while spending my holiday in York. And this place is perfect. It has everything I need (towel, toiletries, refreshments). Very clean and tidy. Nice toilet and shower. Location, it is very near in bus stops that could take you in a few minutes to the city center. I enjoy my stay here as much as I enjoy traveling York. I just want a little suggestion to atleast have a microwave oven so we can buy ready to eat foods. Besides that.. everything is perfect.

It took till a lot later in the day to receive the smart lock details despite several chases through the Hotels.com system. Upon arrival the building was noisy with people in the corridor. The room was very basic with very thin curtains. The TV was mounted really high with dangling cables. There is a lot of road noise and noise from other rooms carries including people in the corridors and slamming of the front door. The water bottles and biscuits were a nice touch. There were a lot of tatty finishes, especially in the bathroom with paint overlapping in odd places. Would not stay again, especially at this price, way too expensive for what you get.

Booking in was fine. Room clean but glass found on top of wardrobe. Bins not emptied daily. No extra toilet rolls. Other guests left front door not shut properly sometimes with the snib on so would not lock. Door bell needs to be prominent hard to see.

Disappointing

Have asked for a 5 place room, got a dormitory with 5 beds aligned (not so confortable for parents and children). The green light of the fire alarm on the ceiling is too strong and disturbing in the night. Too hot without air conditioning (we avoided door opening as there were lots of mosquitoes outside). No towel change. Though, having a car park is useful. Some food shops are in the neighbourhood. The location is well to get to the downtown.

Not worth the money

Room was damp bathroom paint was flaking, the room was shockingly freezing it was warmer outside the oil heater provided did nothing to warm it up. Took more than 10mins to get into the property as lady told us the wrong code more than 5 times. Would never stop again and would waste money a tent would have been warmer.

York stay 23

Heating on in the bathroom in August!! Not needed! The call to the mobile number to get the codes to enter the building then the room was odd. Beds were comfy. Shower doors narrow (we are larger people!) Only one window opened to the main road, other had no latch and painted shut! Front room bottom floor you hear the front door slaming shut. Neighbours upstairs too! Nice touch with a fridge, nowhere to strain the tea leaves though that were left out on the tray? No alcohol in the room, fair enough but booked through hotels.com advertised breakfast and none forthcoming! Disappointing

People above us arguing and police all Over

We arrived all seem good. Radiator in the bathroom had a bad leak so every time you went to the toilet, your pants and socks ended up soaking. We were on the bottom floor right beside the front door which we Heard banging every time anybody come in the people stopping above us arguing all night And they knocked on my door Disturbed me and my two children then 3 police Vans arrived For the people arguing, then we got disturbed again with the police at our window with Set of ladders To Claim up to the top room above us So I was not good at all as my children were very scared spoilt our weekend that was on the Friday night then on the Saturday afternoon we had the police back at the door. We have been looking forward to this weekend for awhile and it got spoilt by the police and the people upstairs it’s not what you expect when you pay for hotel for a quiet weekend so pretty much waste of money I thought the manager might to come and see us on the Saturday to explain what was going on with all the police Outside, my window but never heard anything to be quite truthfully I think they should’ve been an apology and maybe it’s a bit of a refund as I drove for two hours to get there spent quite a bit of money on the hotel. My kids ended up scared and not want to go out.
