Hilton York
“Hilton York, 1 Tower Street Perfect location for a York stay. Walk around the side of the hotel and you’re right in the city centre: JORVIK Viking Centre is about 100 metres away, Fairfax House is roughly 50 metres, and Clifford’s Tower is practically on the hotel’s doorstep. You’re also surrounded by plenty of bars, restaurants, and shops. Our room was very well appointed and spotless, with a modern-classic feel throughout the hotel. It’s clearly well maintained, and our room’s view of Clifford’s Tower was amazing. The bar is modern and comfortable, and breakfast was a strong highlight—an extensive buffet plus a chef making eggs to order. Parking-wise, pay for the on-site valet. There’s no self-parking at the hotel, and the nearby Castle car park is expensive, so valet is the easiest, best-value option. Service was good overall—friendly and helpful—but not quite excellent; it could be a touch sharper and more responsive at times. That said, everything we needed was handled without fuss. Overall, highly recommended. We visit York a few times each year and would definitely stay here again for the unbeatable location, comfortable rooms, and solid amenities.”
