Staff were lovely but the room itself (229) wasn't too good. The bed was rock hard, the mirror was all stained, the toilet roll holder was hanging off the wall, one towel had suspicious marks on it and the toilet roll was so cheap and dirty all on the side. Not what you'd really expect from a Novotel.

Outside frontage poorly maintained, dies not give good first impression. Reception staff not the friendliest, more checking everything is paid, car park etc., pushing breakfast at £15 each, last time it was awful, no thank you! Not welcoming, suited a purpose for us as visiting concert close by at Barbican. Done it twice now, won't stay again, kids and dogs everywhere too! 30 mins allocated slot in pool area, struggle to spend more than 10 mins as small and only a sauna as well as pool. Key card doesnt work on door, Receptionist has to check you're booked in before allowing you in! Room adequate 330, but worlds smallest toilet room and sewage smell from sink (read that too on previous reviews) obviously nothing done about it. Stains on carpet, bleach? Poor for a Novotel, expect better.

I've stayed at the York Novotel several times over the past few years. On the whole the hotel would rate excellent. The only reason i rate it down is the rock hard bed, but that is my preference. We had a meal in the hotel one night of the stay, the menu is somewhat limited but the food and service were excellent. The bed doesn't stop me returning. The hotel is very well situated for the cty centre.
