Also we were in basement and a lot of noise above. Chairs scraping on floors etc other than that staff cleanliness location etc all perfect. ##### Joanne Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MOIRA Dec 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff were very helpful especially carrying our bags to and from our room. The room was very clean and the bed was soft and extremely comfortable. The room was in the basement and there are steps but they are broken up not continuous so weren’t too problematic for some one with slight mobility issues. The music and noise from the bar ended at 11pm and we didn’t experience any noise from outside or other guests. ##### MOIRA Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracy Jun 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great stay, beautiful hotel with very welcoming and helpful staff ##### Tracy Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Becky Sep 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect stay! Amazing stay for my partners birthday - had the option to add surprise balloons and gifts into the room prior arrival- wonderful option! Also upgraded us to the terrace + hot tub room for our second night and it really made the stay special - staff were wonderful, super thoughtful with the smaller touches, and couldn’t do enough for us, would stay here again in a heartbeat! ##### Becky Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Gillian Nov 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The check in staff were fabulous. Friendly and helpful. The room was small but not wholly unexpected. This hotel is great location. The bath was great. The bath candles didn’t have batteries, the shower leaked all over the floor too. The main downside is by far the noise from the bar downstairs which goes on late, so if you are a light sleeper I would avoid it. Overall however, we enjoyed it and the staff made it x ##### Gillian Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Feb 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Our 3rd time staying, great customer service and a great place! ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paula Mar 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Impossible not to love this hotel Beautiful, quirky hotel slap bang in the city centre.

The room on appearance is lovely however after spending a few hours in the room, even with the lights on it was very dull, the club above was extremely noisy (even with headphones in) and the constant footsteps on the ceiling stopping us sleeping. whilst the room had aircon it wasn’t very good so the room was stifling all night. The bathroom being behind the bed with no door was very odd too. The shower was good and the slipper provided were helpful as the floor was concrete. The bed was comfy but the duvet was way too thick and between the bad aircon wasn’t used. The lights in the room that wouldn’t turn off were also very distracting and disturbed our sleep. For how much we paid for this room it was not worth it. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a4ea49ad-f284-40c1-b346-54f44079400a-1763316985010.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4c4d02a8-2a8b-41c3-a436-e672a884cf6c-1763316984532.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jessica Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher Apr 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I personally loved the motel, unfortunately it was too dark for the wife.

Parking was a challenge though, and warnings about street noise were warranted. not recommended for anyone with accessibility challenges. ##### Christian Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Philippa Sep 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Quirky hotel Hotel was really nice and clean and the staff were lovely. The downside for me was the toilet. It was very exposed. I stayed with my husband of 26yrs so I'd say we know each other pretty well. That being said, i still like my visits to the loo slightly more private so to only have a piece of frosted glass to just about cover me if i leaned back, left me feeling over exposed. The other slight downside is for light sleepers in the basement rooms...they are noisy. You can hear the water through the exposed pipes so every shower, toilet flush and tap in adjacent rooms woke me up. My husband though slept like a log.....the beds are so comfy. ##### Philippa Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill Sep 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fabulous hotel, great decor best location in York!

Excellent location for exploring the city. Beds and pillows were soo comfy. Though our room was small it had everything we needed. Other reviews mentioned noise from the bar above. We accidentally booked on a Tuesday night in January when that bar is shut and had no issues with noise. They offered to look after our bags when we checked out which was nice too. ##### Frederich Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah Sep 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing staff. We were able to drop of our bags on arrival and go explore the city. Our room was ready before check in so we were called to let us know. Love that you get to pick your own whipped soap for your room. Our room was spacious with a comfy bed.

The hotel is right in the centre of York so everything is right on the doorstep. The staff were amazing so friendly and helpful. I can’t say enuf good things about it. I can’t wait for our next visit. ##### Sam Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Clarence Garden House](https://www.expedia.ca/York-Hotels-Clarence-Garden-House.h42265232.Hotel-Information) > > [Zedwell Piccadilly Circus](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Zedwell-Piccadilly-Trocadero.h42297074.Hotel-Information) > > [Assembly Leicester Square](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Assembly-Hotel-London.h24000156.Hotel-Information) > > [Aethos Hotel London Shoreditch](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Aethos-London-Shoreditch.h17836240.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson RED Liverpool](https://www.expedia.ca/Liverpool-Hotels-Radisson-Red-Hotel.h82985495.Hotel-Information) > > [Bedford Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Bedford.h54993.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown London Hotel, Cricklewood (Northwest London), WorldHotels Distinctive](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Clayton-Crown-Hotel-London.h969760.Hotel-Information) > > [Holmwood House Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/York-Hotels-Holmwood-House-Hotel.h1381459.Hotel-Information) > > [Saxon House Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/York-Hotels-Saxon-House-Apartments.h48208819.Hotel-Information) > > [The Dorchester](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Dorchester-Dorchester-Collection.h21208.Hotel-Information) > > [Yotel London City](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-YOTEL-London-Clerkenwell.h48296903.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, London Euston Square](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Grafton-Hotel.h608.Hotel-Information) > > [No.1 by GuestHouse, York](https://www.expedia.ca/York-Hotels-The-Grange-Hotel.h11750.Hotel-Information) > > [ STG Hotel London Oxford Street](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-St-Giles-Hotel-London.h614.Hotel-Information) > > [Brown's Hotel, a Rocco Forte Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Rocco-Forte-Browns-Hotel.h438636.Hotel-Information) > > [City Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/York-Hotels-City-Guest-House.h4464528.Hotel-Information) > > [The Marble Arch Hotel, by Thistle](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Amba-Hotel-Marble-Arch.h8704.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, London Bond Street](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h24180.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, London Mercer Street](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h7989.Hotel-Information) > > [Hub By Premier Inn London City Bank](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-HUB-BY-Premier-INN-London.h40112162.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mayfair Townhouse](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Mayfair-Townhouse.h57972013.Hotel-Information) > > [Thistle Trafalgar - Leicester Square](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Thistle-Trafalgar-Leicester-Square.h25875.Hotel-Information) > > [ Executive Apartments in Central London Euston FREE WiFi by City Stay Aparts](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Central-1-Beds-Apts-By-City-Stay-London.h35891691.Hotel-Information) > > [High Street Kensington Apartments ](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-High-Street-Kensington-Apartments.h23504205.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Southampton](https://www.expedia.ca/Southampton-Hotels-Moxy-By-Marriott-Southampton.h42101688.Hotel-Information) > > [The Corner London City](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Qbic-Hotel-London-City.h6706032.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel London City - Tower of London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-London-City-Tower-Hill.h530052.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Scotland Yard Hotel, part of Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-GREAT-SCOTLAND-YARD.h38904937.Hotel-Information) > > [Jorvik House](https://www.expedia.ca/York-Hotels-Jorvik-House.h2471799.Hotel-Information)
