My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though on the small side, were well equipped with lovely quality bedding, tastefully decorated, and classy. However, the limited space made it a bit challenging to move around freely or hang coats in the room. The service, recommended by family friends, was very friendly and welcoming, making me want to return on my next visit. The location, close to the City Walls, train station, and City Center, was perfect with additional secure parking, but there were some issues with the shower that needed attention. The dining experience was delightful, with delicious meals, locally sourced foods included, and prompt service. Despite these positives, there were some challenges with the room size and amenities provided.

I had an amazing stay at the hotel. The rooms were fabulous, and the breakfast was awesome. I even rebooked for multiple stays during the year, although I faced challenges in reaching the hotel due to weather conditions and road closures. The Shower room was especially lovely, and the availability of a tea set was a nice touch. However, the room was a bit cramped for two people, making movement difficult.

I had a lovely time spending 3 nights here at this hotel, which is a short walk from the city center of York. The rooms are fantastic, but unfortunately, I found the breakfast to be absolutely awesome.
