Not great overall. Room seemed to be one of the worst in the whole hotel and unhelpful staff due to a function. More focus on the drunk function guests than the paying ones Room on 5th floor not served by a lift, very loud wedding music from the ground floor all night, luke warm water (told we should run it for 15 minutes first). Not able to have a meal except for soup due to a function. Overall, I will not be returning which is a pity as it’s a lovely hotel.

Walking straight off the platform into the hotel. A beautiful interior, gorgeous staircase and discrete but attentive staff. Spacious grounds, lots of parking and a short walk to city centre. Also very close to railway museum which is fabulous. I want to visit again!

The room was lovely overlooking the garden. I'd ordered a fruit platter, and it was delivered to the room with a great range of fruits. A clean well appointed room supplied with a variety of teas/coffees, biscuits with a kettle and waters in the fridge. Very friendly helpful staff who supplied us with more decaf drinks as needed and help as required. We enjoyed our evening meals in Peacheys restaurant which has a large choice of meals. The hotel being next to the station, makes it an ideal place for your holiday. It is also only a few minutes walk from the centre of York and all museums, parks and shops.

Smelly room.

We mistakenly booked an accessible room. This was not clear on the booking. The room itself stank of damp and had damp patches on the ceiling. When we told the hotel they sent a cleaner with a small bottle of cleaning spray which was never going to do anything.

Good stay at the Miller York

Hotel location is superb. Located right next to train station and 5 min stroll to the centers attractions. Hotel reception, foyer, bars and restaurants are beautiful. Superb pool, sauna, steam room and hottub We didnt use the restaurant's in the hotel but the bars are superb and priced reasonably. Staff were friendly throughout. The room was spacious enough with comfy bed. The bathroom was a bit tired and could do with a revamp. Sadly the room was quite dusty behind and on top of the cabinets in the room. The fridge was noisy and we had to turn it off overnight. Overall, we would stay at the Milner again in the future.
