The 30 Best Lodging business in York

“We cannot recommend this B&B enough. Simon's porridge and full English breakfasts were wonderful, with homemade bread readily available. Our room room was clean and beyond comfortable. To name a few amenities, there were heated towel racks, robes, and locally-made, excellent mattresses. Both host and hostess went above and beyond to help us navigate a few unexpected circumstances by connecting us with local resources. We will be returning if we can!!!”

“I cannot fault this accommodation it was just perfect for my 70th birthday family celebration. The rooms were so lovely and clean and it felt like it was home from home. The family particularly enjoyed the pool table. The location was also perfect it was close to shops and places to eat and it was a 4 min walk along the castle wall into the centre of York. I would definitely recommend this accommodation. The hosts were very accommodating as well and nothing was too much trouble. Hopefully we will be going back there again in the near future.”

“We had a fabulous time in 1 Turks Head Court for our daughter's wedding. It was a real home from home. There was room for a dinner party and a tea party, and everyone loved the house. All our needs were met in moments from the many independent shops within 2 minutes walk. The Minster bells were ringing as we got ready for the ceremony which was lovely. Thanks to Diana and her team for helping to make our special day really special!”

“Excellent location with parking. The room was very stylish ,clean and comfortable. The best thing was the healthy breakfast which made us feel rejuvenated. Little bit of everything and they bring it to your bed!!! You have tea and coffee in the room and everything is organic. Highly recommend this hotel. Awesome!”

“Me and my partner had the most gorgeous stay! Jo was helpful with regards to booking directly through them and made the whole process smooth. Lydia checked in with us on the day as well. The apartment was spotless and had lots of amenities which made our stay very comfortable. We stayed in the Livingstone street apartment and it was perfect for getting into central whilst having peace in the evenings.”

“We had an absolutely wonderful stay at No.1 Guest House in York. We mentioned we were visiting for my partner’s birthday, and to our surprise they double upgraded us—such a thoughtful touch that immediately set the tone for a special weekend. The room we were given was beautiful, spotlessly clean, and lovely and spacious, with all the details that make a stay feel genuinely luxurious. We’d previously stayed at No.15 in Bath and loved it, which is exactly why we decided to try No.1 in York. It absolutely lived up to the reputation—warm service, gorgeous surroundings, and that same signature charm that makes you feel instantly at home. A truly memorable stay from start to finish. Highly recommended, and we can’t wait to return!”

“We’ve stayed here before and will definitely stay again. Fantastic guests house. Very welcoming staff. The rooms are clean and have everything you need it them. We chose the full English breakfast, it was well presented, warm and tasty. The location is great and parking is just outside the guest house. You can’t knock it and the price is very reasonable for York.”

“Beautiful hotel, very close to train station and a short walk from the main shopping area of York. We had a lovely visit, and most of the staff were very courteous, welcoming and friendly. The room was well presented and we had a very comfortable bed. It is a higher priced hotel and you could see the attention to detail and little touches that made it special. We were slightly disappointed that we didn't receive the same warm level of greeting as other guests. It was a stay we'd saved for and had looked forward to very much. It was obvious they had regulars, which is fantastic and means the hotel gets it right as a general rule. But it would have been nice if we'd had a little conversation with the check-in member. The couple being checked in next to us were being asked very general questions like where they'd travelled from, creating a little conversation, but we didn't get the same; just a hello and asked about what card we wanted to put on file for incidentals and then silence. I did attempt to make a little polite conversation with the receptionist but it was clear that they were not interested. It made us feel a little awkward. Asking simple customer service questions makes guests feel welcome and at ease, which we didn't experience at that point. On checking out it was better; we were asked if we'd enjoyed our visit to York, where we were going back to, etc. It made us feel more welcome, even though we were checking out. All in all though, our check in experience hasn't put us off booking in again at some point. Chances are it was an exception to their usual level of service.”

“All the staff we met was absolutely great, friendly and helpful. We never eat here other then breakfast which was delicious and a fair choice and we actually got to see the kitchen area and it was spotlessly clean and the breakfast service spot on. The room we had was clean and comfortable which is all you really need only niggle I had was TV in the room was tiny for the distance it's mounted to the top of the bed where you sit to watch it's not the best, but thats just for us.”

“Great staff, everyone was friendly and helpful. Easy valet service for offsite parking. Full English breakfast hot and tasty. Room was comfortable, water hot and powerful enough, we had a great view of the Minster, don’t book a room on that side of the hote if you need it to be quiet to be able to sleep. Busy street outside and single glazed windows meant it was noisy. Would stay here again!”

“We have had a lovely stay at Wighill Manor lodges. Mel gave a warm and friendly welcome. We stayed in Willow, a one bedroom lodge for two nights. There was a spacious kitchen/diner/lounge with a remote control fire (the central heating meant we didn’t need to use the fire). The kitchen had tea, coffee, biscuits and milk provided and was well furnished with a dishwasher and washer/dryer. The bathroom was spacious with a bath and separate shower. The bedroom had ample storage space and was clean and comfortable. Due to the space we could have happily spent more time there. The hot tub was a nice addition and looked out on a picturesque field. We would recommend our stay and will definitely visit again.”

“Just got back from a wonderful trip to york, the market, and Christmas lights werea joy. The naburn lock caravan site was fabulous, great staff very very helpful ( special thanks to Kevin for all his help) The amenities so so good, first time I've not used our caravan shower so I could enjoy the large brand new shower suite ;) Love adult only quiet site, with large pitches. Will go again xx”

“We had our small post wedding celebration here in The Courtyard. We stayed the night before and the evening of our wedding. The entire staff, from Event management as my first contact, to reception staff and the breakfast greeting was superb. However, a very special mention must go to Yontshi, who made sure we enjoyed our tasting menu the night before and took charge of our reception on the Saturday. She made us feel like we were the most important people in her world. Thank you Mr & Mrs Miles Walker”

“Loved staying here! Really nice cosy common spaces and very well stocked kitchen, and the staff were all lovely. Also really enjoyed the history walking tour with Erica! Will definitely be back.”

“Had a lovely few days at this hotel. It was our first stay here. Very clean room. Great staff. Lovely food and drinks. Will definitely return.”

“I had a wonderful stay at Roomzzz Hotel York! This was the first hotel me and my boyfriend stayed at, and it will always be our favourite . The rooms were spacious, modern, and impeccably clean, making it a perfect home away from home. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to ensure I had everything I needed. We missed breakfast in the morning and the lady at reception made sure we got our breakfast. The location was great—close to key attractions but still peaceful and quiet. I especially appreciated the thoughtful little touches that made the stay extra comfortable. I highly recommend Roomzzz to anyone visiting York we will be visiting again!”

“Location - great, 10 mins walk to York. Staff - friendly and super efficient, a pleasure to see a team working so well on a very busy breakfast shift - much better than many large corporate chain hotels we have stayed in. Breakfast - decent breakfast with a good range of options. Room - good size, very clean and warm. Parking - very reasonable price for parking in York. Stay again - definitely. Value - very good. Recommend - absolutely. Overall - spot on, far better than many places we've stayed in.”

“I had a great stay at this modern and stylish hotel. My double room was well equipped with a Nespresso machine (with four pods), plenty of coffee sachets, and a good selection of teas. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable, and I loved the clever touch of the TV hidden behind a sliding piece of artwork. The large windows let in loads of natural light, and the room controls made it easy to adjust the temperature and fan settings. The shower was another highlight — a spacious, low-level shower enclosure with both a rainfall and handheld shower. Water pressure and temperature were excellent. The separate sink and worktop merged just to the side of the bed area was a nice feature. Breakfast was stacked full of self serve continental options as well as orderabke cooked options including a full English, priced at £25 for adults, but it was included with my stay, which made it great value — and it was absolutely delicious. All the staff were friendly and very helpful throughout my stay. The hotel overall is clean, bright, and modern, with a welcoming bar area that’s perfect for relaxing. A great stay”

“Lovely comfortable hotel, lovely staff. Lovely hot buffet breakfast. 3rd time staying here. Close to train station and a few minutes walk into York itself. Would recommend.”

“I had a lovely stay at The Grange Lodge in York. The location is perfect—peaceful and tucked away, yet just a short walk from the heart of the city. It was the ideal base for exploring York’s historic streets. What really stood out, though, was the room service: consistently prompt, thoughtful, and delivered with a genuine warmth that made the experience feel truly welcoming. It’s the kind of place that strikes the right balance between comfort and convenience. I’d be very happy to return on a future visit.”

“The Milner is still upto a great standard. Staff are excelent. We were in a front facing superior room. With fantastic views of the Minster. We had a meal last night which was cooked perfectly and the breakfast this morning had a great selection and good quality. We will definely be visiting next Christmas as it is idealy situated for York city centre. Very dog friendly hotel”

“Stayed 3 nights with a dog got offered a bigger room than was booked very clean lots of space bed very comfortable and brill shower . We payed for breakfast it was delicious lovely and hot staff were very welcoming would recommend”

“Location is perfect for visiting .walking 5-10mins to the hotel. All the stuff like bed sofa furniture are new and comfortable let me feeling at home , warm cleaning and convenient. Walk 2mins to the old city wall, about 10mins to the minster cathedral, York museum and fantastic garden old abbey, all the old street ,shopping center and castle museum plus railway museum just in 30mins walk away. With the perfect price , l like say this is the best hotel I ever been. Highly recommend”

“Attended the Ringtons Tea retirees’ Christmas bash at the Novotel in York and it was exceptional from beginning to end. The hotel itself is in a cracking location just a short walk from the river and the city centre, and it has that modern, clean, relaxed feel that makes you settle in straight away. The event was handled brilliantly. The staff were outstanding – friendly, organised, and genuinely attentive without ever feeling intrusive. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and they kept everything running smoothly all evening, which really helped set the tone. The food was superb. Every course was well presented, piping hot and full of flavour. Christmas meals at large gatherings can be hit-and-miss, but this was one of the best I’ve had at a group event. Plates were cleared promptly, drinks topped up efficiently, and the timing between courses was spot on. The atmosphere was fantastic too – warm, festive and full of energy. The room was set up beautifully, plenty of space, great lighting, and everything felt well thought through. It made the whole celebration feel special, and it was lovely to see so many familiar faces from Ringtons enjoying themselves. Overall, Novotel York delivered an excellent evening: great service, brilliant food, a lovely festive setting, and staff who genuinely helped make the night memorable. Couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommended.”

“This is our own experience with this business, and we know different clients will have different experiences — but we always leave reviews based on the service we received when we ordered or visited. Review for: Moxy York – Black Horse Lane, York First Impressions
Moxy York immediately stood out with its fun, urban, and modern vibe. The downstairs area is full of character, decorated with eye-catching urban art, hanging pod chairs, plenty of selfie spots, and even a photobooth complete with dress-up hats and caps. The luggage carts by the entrance were incredibly helpful when we arrived with multiple suitcases. The overall first impression was stylish, energetic, and welcoming. Cleanliness & Safety Concerns
The hotel was clean throughout — from the reception area to the lifts and guest rooms. The lifts are secure and won’t operate until you scan your room key, which we appreciated as an added safety feature. CCTV inside the lifts added an extra layer of reassurance. The bathrooms, both in the public areas and our room, were spotless, and the baby-changing facilities downstairs were spacious with a wide sliding door that easily accommodates a pram. Food Quality
Breakfast was excellent, with plenty of hot and cold options, good coffee, cereals, pastries, fresh fruit, and a variety of juices. Gluten-free options were clearly available, and we loved the sign that mentioned vegetarian sausages cooked to order—just ask a staff member. Everything was well stocked and fresh. The bar also served well-priced soft drinks, and we appreciated the free pints of cold ice water when requested. Ambience & Surroundings
The ambience at Moxy York is playful and modern, with thoughtful design details such as bright pink filler used deliberately to highlight cracks in the concrete floor—turning something ordinary into part of the décor. There’s a beer garden, a pool table, books, board games, magazines like Empire, and even a free retro Street Fighter arcade machine. Everywhere you look, there’s something creative or fun. The hotel feels lively yet relaxing, perfect for groups, couples, families, and students alike. Service & Atmosphere
Every member of staff we interacted with was polite, friendly, and eager to help. The front-desk team created such a welcoming environment. We loved the gesture of a free cocktail or mocktail each on arrival. They even had special offers like a 20% student discount and a free mimosa for graduates on the day we visited. Dog owners will appreciate the custom stand at reception with water bowls for both large and small dogs. Small touches like free cucumber water at the bar and umbrellas available to rent added to the sense that Moxy pays attention to guest comfort. Facilities
The hotel offers lots of thoughtful amenities: A well-equipped workout room directly opposite the lifts Fast, clean lifts with fun selfie-style Instagram templates inside Monthly event notices and clear signposting throughout the hotel A first-floor ironing room accessible with your room key Modern, comfortable guest rooms with sensor lights under the bed (perfect for late-night bathroom trips), air conditioning, USB ports, a European plug socket, a wing-backed chair, a kettle with tea/coffee and Biscoff biscuits, and secure locking feature. Bathroom amenities including shampoo, conditioner, hand wash, and body wash The room was quiet with no banging or noise from other floors, leading to a very peaceful night’s sleep — something not all hotels manage successfully. Although there is no on-site car park, there is a Q-Park nearby and several other parking options within walking distance via parking apps. Signing up for Marriott Bonvoy is worthwhile too, as it makes Wi-Fi sign-in quicker and lets you collect points. Overall
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel and look forward to staying at The Moxy in York again on our next visit. I hope this honest review helps others make an informed decision.”

“Second stay at this Travelodge. Ideal location, easy 10 minute walk into York centre. Excellent service from Rebecca on reception who was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast the standard all you can eat buffet which was plentiful and fresh. Only downside was the parking ( we got the last space on Sunday mid afternoon) guests were allowed to park up to 5pm on day of departure which meant the car park was constantly full. Otherwise a good stay.”

“Ideal location for our needs visiting family in York. Decent sized room with very comfortable beds. The shower room smelled fusty (as it did on a previous visit. I think it's a drain issue). Good buffet breakfast with a good choice of hot food. Free parking.”

“I would highly recommend Judges Lodgjngs as this hotel is ideally located within easy reach of all the historic sites, the walls, shops, café, restaurants, bars, etc. Also, the rooms are very comfortable, and all the staff are friendly and always willing to help. Jackalyn, on Reception, was always very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. She advised us that she had only recently started at The Judges Lodgings, but this was never evident, and it was lovely chatting to her throughout our stay.”

“Amazing place to stay ✨️ Fantastic welcome and information at check-in. Room was spotless and the self-catering facilities are impressive. Lovely bright comfortable shared space with lovely areas to sit and eat, indoors and outside. We will definitely be back! A huge thank you for running such a lovely safe space for families who need to self-catering. Location was perfect too.”

“Just got back from staying here for two nights. The room was good. Clean and well ordered. I am a wheelchair user and found there was plenty of room for my chair without it being obstructive. It was warm and comfy in fact too warm but there was a fan. The bed was almost too comfortable and having one hard pillow and one soft pillow each is a brilliant idea. The breakfast was self service and the choice was good too. The staff were helpful and friendly and we would go back any time and recommend it to anyone.”
