Good budget hotel in a good location. Only niggle would be all the public rooms showing GB News all the time. Not renowned for their balanced and informative broadcasting to put it kindly!

Staff are lovely and very helpful. The breakfast is very good too - plenty of choice and very fresh, however, padyries are dry. I think they are over cooked. Rooms are OK. The grouting around the shower was rather tired and needed redoing. The worst thing is the noise. We were at the back and had a window onto a flat roof. When it rained, the noise was very loud and kept me awake. We also had a room with a connecting door - our neighbours may as well have been in our room with us!

Can’t fault a thing about this hotel! For me, the three most important factors are affordability, cleanliness, and the breakfast. All three were spot on. The added pluses for me was how close it was to the train station and all the major spots in York. My kids loved the GF lounge where there were board games for them to play with. The staff were super friendly and offered to keep our luggage after we checked out whilst we did some more touring in the city before catching our train in the evening. The only thing I wish they had was halal options at breakfast, but that’s not a dealbreaker for me.

We stayed in a family room and to be honest it was very small. The kids shared a sofa bed which filled the whole floor and there was barely any room to move around. It wasn't cheap so this was a little disappointing. The 1st night we stayed in room 107 and the aircon extraction units were right outside our window which made it quite difficult to sleep because of the noise and vibration. The staff were more than happy to move us to another room tho for our 2nd night. On that note, the staff were all great! Very pleasant and helpful everywhere in the hotel. The breakfast was mediocre. All in all i expected a little better for the price we paid.

Good location and short walk distance to the main tourist area. Hotel clean. Lift out of order due to planned maintainance but not told prior to arriving. Room had small double bed which for the price vs premier inn(has lovely king size) is not acceptable. Room noisy and woke by passing traffic multiple times over 2 nights.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were very friendly and helpful. I upgraded to a superior family room. This was very small for a family room with hardly enough room to move with the sofa bed out. The sofa bed was pretty dangerous with lots of metal bits sticking out. Bathroom was clean but very dated. Bed was not very comfortable. If this was an upgraded room, dread to think what a standard room would have been like, probably just as good and not worth the upgrade. Breakfast was fabulous. It was very busy but staff worked very hard making sure tables were cleared quickly and there was always plenty of food available.

Small room
We booked a double with a sofa bed. I wouldn't recommend it for a family of four. The end of the sofa bed touched the side of the other bed, so the whole room was just bed.
