The hotel rooms were really comfortable and clean, with everything you'd need, but had a few broken items. The service was welcoming and friendly, except for a deceitful pricing strategy. The location was perfect, with friendly staff making you feel welcome, but it lacked a bit of atmosphere. The dining experience was superb, despite some issues with service and temperature. The facilities were excellent overall.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the positive side, having a free minibar and a coffee machine in the room was a great touch. The room itself was exactly as I expected - clean, and amazingly decorated. However, I did face a small issue with the electric card holder falling off the wall when I tried to insert my key, which was not ideal.

The staff, while friendly and helpful, had some issues with storage right outside the room. The location was perfect for exploring the city, just a short walk from the center. The dining was excellent, making special occasions memorable. However, there were some discrepancies in room types and pricing.

The hotel has everything we needed for a comfortable stay, though the nighttime noise from air con units was a bit bothersome. The service was efficient and enabled me to have more time for sightseeing, but it was just average. The location is great for exploring all York has to offer, very convenient and welcoming. The dining experience, with few breakfast options at a high price, was not good value for money. Overall, a solid place with some drawbacks to consider.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall.

The rooms were spacious, but the view of the apartments across the road was not as expected. The service was friendly overall, but some improvement in attentiveness could make a difference.
