The 30 Best Hotel in York

“Clean, comfortable, peaceful and cheap. Lots of parking and convenient for the university and the local buses to get into the city centre, which run often and have a reasonable price. We arrived late and left early, not having any food and so cannot comment on that.”

“Perfect location to the centre, I've stayed here twice. First time went smoothly lovely clean room. Second time, our bathroom toilet and shower overflowed from blocked drains. We were quickly changed rooms to freshen up before leaving for home. Would definitely recommend and will be staying again.”

“The hotel is excellent value for money. The location is perfect because it is within walking distance to most places you’d visit in York, but at the same time, far enough to have silence at night. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff are friendly too.”

“Great place at great value so close to the city centre, which is only around 20 minutes on foot. Yes the furniture in the room was a little dated, and the wallpaper and paint could do with freshening up, but the rooms are clean and tidy and provide all the amenities with a spacious bedroom and en suite. Rooms are always warm, which was more than welcome from the biting cold outside. If I had to make any criticism it would be the mirror in the bathroom, as I am short, fat and hairy, I had to stand on my tiptoes to shave. But the hosts here are great, and always checking to make sure things are ok and that you have a plentiful supply of tea bags and coffee. They also provide off street parking to the rear of the Inn and while I didn’t sit the bar, it looked like a great place to unwind and they offer bar snacks should you get peckish.”

“We visited the Alium Restaurant for the Vegan menu. I am pescatarian hence we went for this menu. Wow is all I can say. The food, wine flight, and service was incredible. The chef Luke came out to explain a number of the dishes personally and was incredibly helpful. We have tried to book for the next Vegan week but they haven’t released the dates yet! I am fortunate enough to have eaten all over the world in some incredible restaurants, this beats them all and it is in our home town!”

“We were 2 couples, the apartment fully met our needs. The showers were great. Beds really comfortable, fully fitted kitchen with everything you could need.Superb natural light, spacious accommodation.Excellently placed for access York. Lovely views from the lounge to York ruins. We will definitely look to come back.”

“Fantastic place to stay. Great location and facilities. York is the best, already booked to stay again!”

“Mariano is an excellent guide who makes the tour very enjoyable and gives you an insight into York that you wouldn't get by visiting it on your own.”

“Evening staff at receotion was really a top bloke. Really helped alot and had a chat for about 20 minutes. Quite remote for halal food but nothing uber eats or deliveroo can't fix but extortionate prices. Room was okay, cleanliness could have been better and a bit of a maze to get to the room. The room i asked for was on the ground floor and at furthest away from the road noise. Reception made the stay memorable and hence why the 5 stars. Thank you to the receptionist for the guidance and for the chat.”

“Large comfortable rooms and really helpful staff. As they didn't have an evening chef, they gave us 24hrs warning and booked us into a lovely pub just a few minutes drive away. Breakfast was great though. Great location for breaking a long journey.”

“I like the rooms and reception. Good customer service. Affordable and make sense”

“Very clean, location was amazing and very close to everywhere we wanted to go. The dorm-style still had some privacy because of the curtains around the bed, which I liked very much. Would definitely recommend to other people coming to York!”

“Small room but it is nice inside equipped with modern amenities as needed and its own modern bathroom. They even were so kind enough to handle my laundry for me when I was in a pinch! Great service and they were very kind and helpful.”

“Location is perfect you are right in the middle, lady on the desk wasnt the nicest, but the rooms were spacious and considering your in the centre, the noise outside doesn't effect you too much! Lovely stay!”

“This is not a 5 star hotel but for the price I honestly don’t think you can beat the service of the staff (they were incredibly accommodating, engaging, and strived to make the time efficient and enjoyable). The food was adequate for dinner and breakfast was more then we were anticipating. Again, it isn’t the ritz, but we just kept commenting to each other, dang, this place is clean, organized and more than we would expect for the price. Well done!”

“Lovely clean, newly renovated hotel. We stayed in a family room which had 4 large single beds, perfect for a family, we all had plenty of room and space. Staff were lovely, professional and happy. Breakfast had everything we needed and filled 4 tummy's for a day exploring York. Location was spot on with everything in walking distance. Would definitely stay here again”

“I love living here !! Moved in few months ago and feel very comfortable with all the great amenities around.”

“Stayed in the Charles Hope apartments. Reception was lovely and welcoming and gave some guidance in how to get into my booking. Without them it could be very confusing. Lovely building. Nice Christmas tree Nice apartments. Would love to live here if I was from the area.”

“We were served by Amy, Lottie and Kerry, really friendly and lovely staff. Well deserved Compliments to Chefs Josh and Chelsea for the wonderful meal and beautiful presentation as it was served to our table. My client and I really enjoyed dining at The Black Bull and will definitely come back!”

“Really friendly and helpful owners. Greeted with cafetiere coffee and homemade biscuits on arrival, range of snacks in the room, which was super comfortable and clean. Fab!”

“We were a small group of 8. Alfred was a great guide. He did an excellent job in walking us through the history of York from the Romans to the railways and was able to link the development of the city to landmarks that we passed - with a great commentary, extraordinary historical knowledge and a lot of humourous anecdotes thrown in. One of the best walking tours I have been on and I would thoroughly recommend this tour.”

“Fantastic room, friendly staff, brilliant breakfast. We parked and walked into York. It was less than 0.9 mile walk. We will come back again.”

“We have so enjoyed our visit to York it’s been made extra special by staying here at The Serenity Inn the City, it’s the most gorgeous Apartment, beautiful decorated, a home away from home, everything you need is a here for you, perfectly located for visiting York an easy walk to the City, no car required and if you do have a car, a car park is available for you Highly recommend staying here Loved it Thanks Jo , a special place to stay”

“Stayed in a 2 bed apartment at Bank Chambers. Excellent flat in a great location. Tastefully decorated and fitted out with all the mod cons. Knaresborough is a lovely little town with some good pubs and restaurants in itself and only a short cab/train ride from Harrogate. Would thoroughly recommend staying here.”

“Excellent place to stay for quiet and to be honest it's why we went. The carriage has everything needed for a comfy and pleasant stay and the owners are very friendly and welcoming. Skipwith common was excellent for the dog. Loved the place and will return. It should go without saying but you will need a car if you intend on going to towns and villages. Can't speak highly enough of Skipwith Station, book it.”

“Have been going here twice a year since before COVID, the leaflet really does not do it justice. Rod and Peggy cannot do enough for you. You only have to ask. I am a wheelchair user and there is plenty of room for me to move around. I also do craft stuff, so if my husband wants to do something I can stay in and he can go where he wants. I cannot recommend this place enough, nor the amenities, and York is not that far away, and the Designer Outlet is even closer. You will also fine the Park and Ride here and use this bus into York saves all the hassle of driving around Looking for car parking.”
