The Milner York

The Milner York

📍 Station Rd, York
★★★★ 8.8 (317 reviews)

"Bad air. Faulty aircon conditioner. Water running down wall all night keeping awake. Was not given another room. Carpet damp and a mouldy brown towel left to mop up. Stuffy damp room"

Astor York Hostel

Astor York Hostel

📍 124 Holgate Rd, Holgate, York
★★ 8.6 (76 reviews)

"It's about a 17-minute walk from the train station, which can be a bit of a trek if you have luggage. You can store your bags for free in the basement before check-in. It's an old building, so there's no elevator, but the staff kindly helped me carry my luggage upstairs when I checked in. The lack of a bed curtain was a slight inconvenience, but overall it was a good stay."

Roomzzz York City

Roomzzz York City

📍 Terry Ave, York
★★★★ 9.0 (119 reviews)

"The location by the river is very quiet. All the city's attractions are within walking distance. Although the room is small, it has a small pantry where you can cook simple meals, which is a great plus! The lobby has a 24-hour coffee machine with freshly ground coffee, and croissants are available for breakfast in the morning. Starting the day with a cup of rich coffee and a croissant before heading out for your day's activities is indeed an excellent choice!"

DoubleTree by Hilton York

DoubleTree by Hilton York

📍 St Maurice's Rd, York
★★★★ 8.0 (274 reviews)

"The hotel rooms are quite run down especially where we were right at the back Room 45. We had no remote to use the Air Conditioning during the hottest days we’ve had this year. Went to reception and they said someone would be with us in 15 minutes. Waiting 45 but we had a restaurant booking in the city so could not wait around. Water in the shower randomly goes scolding hot .  Not a hotel I’d return to unfortunately which is a shame because most other Doubletree hotels I’ve stayed in have been great."

The Milner York ★★★★
"We have a great 2 night break at this hotel, it is stunning and clean inside, and a short walk to the town centre. The rooms were quite far away being in the sidings but it was still good for what we needed. Lovely tipi area with bar outside is a very nice additional touch. We will definitely be returning!"

"This hotel is located by the Ussuri River, which makes it relatively quiet. It's about an 18-minute walk from the train station. We stayed in a family room which came with a kitchen and dining table, which was quite good overall. The old town is just a 10-minute walk across the bridge. All in all, it was a pleasant stay."

"The hotel is beautiful 😍! The room was clean and well prepared with coffee capsules. However, breakfast time is not well managed in terms of seating guests and efficiently serving them."

"Downside was limited parking. We were sent to a nearby car park which offered all day parking. Problem was it ran out at 8am. On returning to the hotel after parking was informed by another guest that there was a QR code at the car park which you could use as part of the hotel? We ended up paying almost £40 for parking for one night stay. Anyone booking please check with reception regards where the QR is"

"Beautiful old pub located on the main road into York from the south. Car parking at the rear. Takes about twenty minutes to walk to the Minster and the route takes you past Clifford's Tower & The Shambles. The room was very clean & tidy, decorated simply & tastefully. Shower was hot and efficient. We slept well although we prefer a firmer bed. The pub is on a main road but it was quiet during the night & we weren't disturbed by visitors to the bar (we stayed on a Thursday). Good beer, I had a pint of Wainwright's Gold. Staff were very friendly and helpful, we would definitely stay again, much better to support a local business like this than the big brands. My wife is Chinese and wanted a Chinese breakfast, we found a place called Noodle Lane about ten minutes walk from the hotel, it was expensive but authentic."
