“We will be returning.”

My 12 yr old daughter & I stayed at The Groves and we could not have asked for a better place. The recently refurbished hotel interior looks great. The location is perfect, a level 15 min. stroll from the Minster, in a quiet cul-de-sac. The staff were friendly, kind and spontaneously helpful. As a vegetarian the quality of the breakfast was way above what I usually get at a non-veggie hotel. And the beds were comfortable!

“Recommended!”

Definitely recommend this hotel! The bed was a bit too soft but other than that it was great!

“Excellent homely hotel near city centre”

We were pleasantly surprised by the excellent set up of this very homely hotel. We were upgraded to a family room at no extra cost, all the staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. The reception area is to be renovated in Jan 2012 to bring it up to the high standard of the rest of the hotel. The breakfast was superb and rounded off our short but most pleasurable stay.

“Sweet staff, very helpful”

This is an independant hotel near York city centre, which made it convenient, and thd staff was friendly and helpful. It's on a quiet street, which I appreciated. All in all, a great stay and I would recommend it to others.

“Very comfortable place”

How refreshing to stay in a small hotel that is not run by a large corporation! The staff here really care about the hotel and its guests. The Groves is not glamorous or "boutique", just a comfortable, friendly hotel near York city centre (about 10 mins walk) in an old Victorian mansion. Breakfast is terrific too (their continental breakfast is not just an afterthought). I enjoyed staying here and would definitely stay again.

“Lovely quiet hotel in a nice location of York.”

Interesting older building nicely restored. Very fresh clean bathroom.Easy walking distance from centre of York (5 minute walk) Very friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfasts! Free parking a bonus. Very comfortable stay.

“Would love to go back”

Excellent staff and clean and neat room. Perfect.

“Brilliant”

Very comfortable hotel/ guest house. Beautiful street and house. Very comfy room - clean and good facilities eg beds, TV, tea/ coffee etc. Great cooked to order breakfast. Free car parking on site. $5 Wi Fi for whole stay and $7 for a load of washing and drying. 10 to 15 min walk to town - flat and pleasant and near York Minster side of town. Only very slight problem was nothing very close in way of restaurants for dinner but we found excellent pub on way to town and ate there most nights. An excellent base for touring York. Would highly recommend.

“It would be the first place on our list if we visit the area again”

From the moment we arrived we felt ccomfortable at this hotel. The staff, without exception were friendly and helpful and our room was one of the best we have had anywhere. The hotel's situation, just 15 minutes walk from the Minster made it a perfect place from which to explore the city. It was also conveniently placed if you wanted to explore the surrrounding area. Free parking and cheap WiFi access enhanced our stay.

“Good location, 10mins walk to city center”

Quiet neighbourhood, friendly family feel to B&B, they offer free wi-fi which I needed but I was in a room furthest from the main lobby and wi-fi was intermittant so I went to lounge a few times to use my netbook, breakfasts were hearty, easy access to city center and main railway station was short taxi ride. I would use this B&B again.
