Top-Rated Hotels in York with Prices and Guest Reviews

The Milner York

The Milner York

📍 Station Rd, York
★★★★ 8.8 (323 reviews)

"The Milner York features a grand late-Victorian facade built from distinctive yellow Scarborough brick. Inside, the stunning entrance lobby showcases an ornate historical dome and elegant monochrome tiled flooring. The hotel's crown jewel is a sweeping, central iron staircase surrounded by high ceilings. Public lounges beautifully blend historic opulence with plush chesterfield sofas and herringbone wood floors. However, multiple guests note that the contemporary bedrooms are noticeably smaller in size. This compact room layout is especially apparent within the modern "Sidings" annexe."

📍 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."

"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."

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

"The hotel is right by the city walls, and some rooms even offer views of them. The room was a bit small but very clean and tidy, and it even had a bathtub – perfect for a relaxing soak after exploring the old town. It's only a ten-minute walk to York Minster and The Shambles, and it's wonderfully peaceful to visit them in the mornings and evenings before the crowds arrive. The English breakfast was decent, and you can enjoy views of the old town from the dining area on the first floor."

The Milner York ★★★★
"I stayed for two nights. I stayed in one of the Sidings Double rooms and was pleased with the size, comfort and cleanliness of my room. It was a very quiet part of the hotel, and although I had a great view of the garden and station - I heard no noise at all so had a very peaceful sleep. The only slight disappointment I have, is that the hotel pool was quite tiny and was too crowded even at an off peak time, but this does not detract from the hotel and the leisure facility is really just a bonus - there is so much to see and do within the city that I had plenty to keep me occupied during my stay. York is a magical place. Would I stay here again? Absolutely. I have already booked this hotel again to bring my young son and do a spooky ghost tour in the autumn. Location-wise this hotel can’t be beaten, and the hotel staff are super helpful and friendly."

Roomzzz York City ★★★★
"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!"

Hampton by Hilton York Piccadilly ★★★
"A solid hotel, comparable to Hampton Inn hotels back home. There are two Hampton Inns in York, so when driving, it's best to enter the postcode for navigation. Don't just type the brand name. If you use the hotel name, make sure to add the location. We went to the wrong one initially and had to drive for another 5 minutes to get to the correct one. The hotel's location is excellent. About 100 meters to the left when you exit, there's a Tesco Express, which is very affordable. On the ground floor outside the hotel, there's a surprisingly open, semi-enclosed glass baggage lift that can take large luggage up to the lobby. The rooms are spacious, and the bathroom has the standard Hampton Inn setup. The room is functional, similar to its counterparts in China, though it lacks the complimentary self-service laundry facilities typically found in equivalent hotels there. Breakfast is a self-service buffet included in the room rate. It's a British-style buffet with eggs, sausages, ham, grilled tomatoes, baked beans, various breads, toaster breads, four types of stewed fruit, fresh apples. On weekends, bananas are also available. There's coffee, fresh milk, yogurt, nuts, cereals, and portable packaged fiber biscuits. My friends were very happy with the food."

The Grand York ★★★★★
"The room was quite spacious, and the front desk gave me a king-size bed, which was nice. The lady at the front desk provided excellent service, which is definitely worth mentioning. The hotel breakfast was impressive, with a good variety and tasty food. The hotel's location is fantastic; it's within walking distance to both the train station and Shambles. It's a great choice if you're visiting York. The only slight drawback was a faint smell in the bathroom, but it was fine once I closed the bathroom door when I went to sleep."
