Hilton York
Hotel was clean, unfortunately our room was located by the cleaners room so it was pretty noisy early on also lots of noise from other guests early in the morning. We were also located right above the bar/restaurant so from around 6am we could hear noise from there. Staff were friendly at reception ...

Impossible Motel
Hotel very quirky. I had a basement room which was very dark and a little noisy. Room was impeccable in terms of cleanliness and staff simply couldn't have been more helpful. Great proximity to sights and good value for money
