The check in was difficult as we were not given the entry code in advance and initially no one answered our phone calls. The room was nice.

It is a lovely clean period property. Easy to find and very near to the main attractions in York.

2/10 Poor

After 4 hours of staying in the room a bug crawled across the sheet. When comparing this bug to an online search it is believed that this is a bed bug. Collections of bugs were found around the seems of the headboard.

Good clean comfortable room. Check in was a bit difficult as it is done over the phone and the guy was a bit stroppy. Apart from that room was pleasant, easy access and free parking was great.

A bit out of the way, we dropped lucky with someone being onsite to let us in. Bit of a hike to get food and drink
stuart, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

When arrived, had to call a mobile to check in and was given a code for front door, then a code for the room, which seemed strange, but once in the room there was a key card, so was fine. Clean and tidy. Fridge in room as well as tea, coffee and bottled water. Had to hunt for the towels, as they were in the wardrobe! I (female) was staying with my young son and was concerned about the front door. Everytime we went in or out, it was either not shut correctly or someone had left it with the Yale lock unlocked, so anyone could walk in. You had to make a concerted effort to make sure the door locked, so being open could have been by accident, but when unlocked, someone had to have done that on purpose. There was parking at the rear, but this was reduced due to a truck being parked there, and how it was parked limited number of cars that could park without blocking in other cars. There was also a few spaces to park on the main road. Overall, the place was good, in a good location for the city centre, clean and value for money.

A good clean and comfortable place on a main bus route 15 minutes into York City centre, all at a very reasonable cost!

Nice place to stay

I don't care about some negative review in this place. All I need is a place to sleep with while spending my holiday in York. And this place is perfect. It has everything I need (towel, toiletries, refreshments). Very clean and tidy. Nice toilet and shower. Location, it is very near in bus stops that could take you in a few minutes to the city center. I enjoy my stay here as much as I enjoy traveling York. I just want a little suggestion to atleast have a microwave oven so we can buy ready to eat foods. Besides that.. everything is perfect.

6/10 Good

It took till a lot later in the day to receive the smart lock details despite several chases through the Hotels.com system. Upon arrival the building was noisy with people in the corridor. The room was very basic with very thin curtains. The TV was mounted really high with dangling cables. There is a lot of road noise and noise from other rooms carries including people in the corridors and slamming of the front door. The water bottles and biscuits were a nice touch. There were a lot of tatty finishes, especially in the bathroom with paint overlapping in odd places. Would not stay again, especially at this price, way too expensive for what you get.

Inexpensive and noisy.

Remote check in,so it was a surprise to hear a couple loudly have sex when I arrived.Its cheap for York and it's clean,it was fresher's week apparently,so there was a lot of activity around midnight,lots of guests going outside to smoke,shout and slam the door .
Philip, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was hard to get hold to someone on the phone to check in, I am pregnant and I needed to go to the toilet as soon as, the person who I managed to speak to had issues with the system and took longer to give me the codes to access. Then about an hour after, while I was at a Dr appointment I received a message saying that I have to leave the room, all very random, they took my last name wrong and gave me the wrong number but there is no need to send a message like that and get me all into panic. Apart of that the room was fine, just that didn’t have any other light more than the main one, so if you want to read in bed then take your own lamp.

Comfy beds

Checkin required calling a mobile number which was awkward from our Australian mobile sim. Thankfully I had data so could find the UK area code to use to make the call. Due to traffic noise it was just a bit hard to hear the instructions. Once given the code for the room it was easy to manage. I would have preferred the instructions been emailed or SMS through. The room was upstairs and the beds were soft and comfortable which was wonderful. There was a small fridge. ( No freezer) The toilet hadn’t been cleaned behind the seat and a dark syrupy liquid had accumulated (not cleaning product) and the shower head was very mouldy. Being an older building noise reverberated from other guests using the property however this settled before midnight :) It was a nice walk through the park into town, and was close to Aldi.

Carpet in the bathroom

The bathroom had carpet on the floor something we found very unhygenic in a hotel. No staff present at all.

Booking in was fine. Room clean but glass found on top of wardrobe. Bins not emptied daily. No extra toilet rolls. Other guests left front door not shut properly sometimes with the snib on so would not lock. Door bell needs to be prominent hard to see.
