The hotel was really nice, however it was just really noisy. The wooden floors without the right insulation enable all the noise from the room upstairs to be hear when some walks etc. our room was the one on the ground floor near reception and the constants noise form thenkitcrh/ dinning area, car park etc made it into a rather disappointing stay. A shame as the room was beautiful, although tired in places still beautifully decorated.

Delightful hotel.

We stayed here before so knew what to expect. The hotel is great and easy access to York city centre. the breakfast seems a little pricy, but you definitely won't go hungry!! Only gripe, £25 a night to park in their car park. As a guest of a not cheap hotel, I would expect parking to be included with maybe a charge if used beyond check out.
