Location for the city centre is good, hence 4 stars. Front desk staff were helpful, restaurant food and service were good. Room in The Sidings was not great - noisy and smelt of sewage. The hotel shares a public car park; we couldn't find a space when we arrived.

The room was quite dark with not a lot of bright lights in the room or sunlight due to the location. We stayed for a 2 night special break with my 80 year old mum, unfortunately on one day from 10.30-4pm they turned the water off which meant if we wanted a shower or the toilet etc we would need to go to a different building. This was planned work and had we have known before booking we would have chosen a different hotel. I understand work needs to be done for the upkeep of the building but like I mentioned above, I would have booked a different hotel. I did inform the reception but all we received was an apology. I do feel they should not have changed the full amount for this night.

Disliked: Room comfort
The air conditioning didn’t work. We reported this and nothing was done during our stay. The bed was very small for 2 people and we are not large. The star are friendly but not particularly helpful. The room we had was very tired and not worth the money. The water barely trickled out of the taps in the en-suite.

When we arrived we were given an upgrade to a Garden Room with a wonderful view of York Minster. The room was compact but had everything we needed for our overnight stay. It was quiet, clean something that I personally find important a dressing table area with an accessible plug socket.

Staff where friendly and couldn't do enough for us. I know it's York but an extra £20 per 24hrs to park was a bit much. Fridge in room wasn't plugged in and couldn't find how to plug it in. Stains on curtains and on chair in room. Really disappointed to be told we needed to book afternoon tea 24hrs in advance as there was no mention anywhere else. Breakfast was no better than you'd get at a travellodge and one morning there was a que. Evening menu very limited but so many better local places to eat. Not really worth the cost and certainly won't return.

The bar seems very dark and it was difficult for us to find entranc to hotel.we had to ring as we had no information doors were closed at certain time. I think a little information about the details shoul be in room, not just price sheets for foodan services
