Nice stay

The hotel is well located. I stayed in the annexe room at the rear of the building accessed through a small yard at the back. Recently decorated the room was clean, warm and surprisingly quiet. Bed was very comfortable, and a very spacious bathroom with nice thick towels. My only criticism would be that there is a strong smell of new carpet in the bedroom

Property was perfect for the price. Clean and welcoming. Shower was nice and the bed was comfortable. I was able to get in touch with the management on arrival. Tap in the ensuite was cold and despite running for a while, did not produce hot water. The building was subject to some noise pollution and you could clearly hear other guests in other rooms. Other than that, I would book again.

As a solo traveller with simple requirements, the property ticked all the boxes - own shower and immediate hot water, toilet, TV, kettle, bed was comfy. Just about close to town. Room was small but perfectly functional. Price was very fair. However - to me it is not made clear that there is no full-time reception. On arrival with no answer of the doorbell I had to ring a mobile number. What if my phone had been flat? This needs to be made very clear, especially for solo travellers. The check-in over the phone worked OK and I got into the room, but it is quite hard carrying bags and receiving instructions on phone about numbers to put on keypads. On arrival into my room I wasn't expecting stairs down and didn't see them as I was on phone receiving instructions as to where keycard was in room. If you want to go fully remote, these instructions could surely just be emailed on day of planned arrival? So very serviceable room, building/decor needs a bit of TLC and remote check-in needs to be streamlined.

Great place

After reading some of the negative reviews we were very pleasantly surprised. Staff were helpful and attentive and actually went above and beyond. Overall the property is a little dated and and in one of our rooms the tv wasn't working properly and in another the the lightbulbs needed replacing but it's clean, the beds are comfy and it's close to town. Would definitely stay here again.

Better than a tent (just)............

Basic as it gets, no towels provided, no staff on site, you need a degree to get through security locks, strong smell of cigarette smoke. Plus side: Close to York Minster and the hospital. Nuff said, line drawn and will not be revisiting.

Perfectly acceptable

The stay was perfectly acceptable for the money paid. The room and bathroom were large enough. The check in was very efficient. Could do with some hooks in the bathroom, but this is by no means the only place I have stayed where these are missing.

Slept here for a few hours and was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and amazing service from Ismail and Kay. All were very helpful and was offered an upgraded room and parking. Thanks! I was given two codes for the main and bedroom doors which was easy enough to use and access. There were no en-suite rooms left at the time but that was not a problem as my room had a sink, kettle and even a fridge with usual tea and coffee sachets as well as plenty of towels and small individual tubes of shower gels and etc. I will return because Ismail was so helpful! Well done!

I was staying in the property for four nights, spending most days sightseeing. For a double room it was a bit cramped, but for a single traveller on a tight budget perfectly sufficient. The room was equipped with an electric kettle and a mini-fridge, which was convenient for a few day stay. The room also contained a well-stocked toilet (which however needs a hook for a towel) and a shower cabin opening to a room - not what I expected but not really a problem (if you can figure out how to set water temperature). I found opening the front and room doors with a card very practical and easy. Property is in general quiet, but other guests can be heard. Most of York attractions are located within 20-30 minutes walk from the property and personally I found no need for public transport in this town, I happily hiked all over it. And a tip for future guests: on your way to York Minster you will pass Aly's Bakery: their San Sebastian cheesecake is heavenly, not to be missed!

Nightmare Anniversary Stay

Arrived and stood outside in the cold for 35 mins as no one was answering the phone. Finally got through and was given the pin for the door. Got told ‘My colleague left all this information in a message’ but never received this message. Two men checking in behind us never got a message either. Got moved from a double room to twin singles. Staff weren’t apologetic - made me feel like they’d done me a favour for not cancelling the booking last minute. Our room was freezing cold, so we kept waking up through the night. It also says alcohol isn’t permitted on the premises!

Best avoid

I stayed in an ensuit room which was at backyard. When I checked in around 3pm, some celling light bulbs in the room were not working and the room was dark. But a staff negotiated me if they can fix the next day. I said no, then they changed after all. Also backyard door was not locked well and it moved and made huge sound every 5 min when winds blew. It was really awful in the night time when the door closed with really HUGE aggressive sound. We couldn't sleep at all. Not only the door sound but sounds from other rooms were very clear as well. On check out day, there was no staff at reception and we had no idea how to checkout. We needed to make a call to an indicated number but wasted almost 20-30 min. Better avoid. We paid ￡160 for this experience. Not cheap.

Shouldn’t allowed to be listed standards are gross

I recently booked to stay with you guys Upon arrival I paid an extra £15 to upgrade to a private bathroom which I couldn’t even use to shower because the water overflowed like the drain was blocked and the shower didn’t work properly it kept going scalding hot then freezing cold There were big hairs in the shower too One of the towels had a large brown stain on which I have pictures of so I just used it to dry the floor, disgusting but obvious what it was I had to shower in the sink Then onto the actual room… the bedding was stained and there was an aggressive drugged up lady that came out of a downstairs room who said she lives downstairs and has come off the streets She was slamming doors all night and while I was outside she was aggressive. We didn’t sleep because of worry we even had to ring reception to express our worry and he said don’t worry she’s drunk Why would you have someone like that when you’re trying to run a business She was shouting with loads of her crackhead friends then coming in and out slamming all the doors Complete waste of 70 quid Would like a refund
