Superb location

The location of this property is perfect right in the middle of the City. There isn't parking however there is a council car park right behind the property but this will set you back £26 for 2 nights. We decided to park around a mile away and walk in, a nice 20 minute walk. Staff there are really friendly and the property is immaculate. Just a couple small things we picked up on. We were in one of the luxury double rooms in the loft space. The room was perfect other than it had a lack of ventilation. The bathroom velux window is screwed shut. You can open the window at the front of the bedroom however after 2 hot showers and my partner using her hair dryer the room gets really warm and stuffy to the point we couldnt wait to get out of the hotel for a bit of fresh air. I can't imagine how warm it must get in summer. There is a small fan but i think allowing the velux to open in the bathroom would make a big difference. Also not wanting to sound too picky but if its being listed luxury we only got one toilet roll. So the next day I had to call reception for another. It arrived really quickly however they brought just one more. I'm not sure why the bathroom doesnt have 2 or 3 for a 2 night stay. They are the cheap toilet rolls with only a few sheets so doesnt take long to get through them! Also we had to call for more milk as they weren't replenished the next day. These are just small things and we would happily stay again

Lovely for a short trip

Jorvik House was really nice. The room and bathroom were very clean and in good condition. Warm welcome at reception and overall very nice place to stay for a few days. My only complaint would be that it would have been nice to have things like milk, tea, loo roll, etc replenished when empty, rather than on request.

Absolutely fabulous place for a stay in York. If you want a clean, stylish, friendly base fir a few days in York - you wont beat this hotel. Stayed in several York hotels- but love it here - just book it ! And a lovely stroll through museum gardens to York centre - perfect 👌

I've visited the property multiple times and the staff are always wonderfully helpful and friendly. The rooms are always clean, tidy and comfortable. It's in a great location, very walkable and directly opposite the museum gardens and very close to central York but off the main road enought that there is no noise when trying to sleep (bar some late night arrivals with lead feet that only disturbed for about 30mins night 1). The Jorvik house will always be my first and preffered choice. And as my Mam's first trip to this hotel she loved it and had the best nights sleep she's had in weeks! Looking forward to our next stay

No lift. It was hard for me to carry my small suitcase. Very small room even for 1 person. The advantage was its location, 15 min walk from train station and to attractions. Right across from the Mueum Gardens In Nov the city wall was closed.
