So handy to the train station, yet quiet in our room. An excellent buffet breakfast with efficient and friendly staff.

Great staff, very friendly and helpful. 15 minutes on foot from train station close to all main attractions in York center. Me and my fiancé had a lovely time!

Nice location and friendly staff. Breakfast was good. The “handicapped” elevator from the street level to the front desk did not appear to work. We saw several people with canes and walkers struggling with the stairs.

Room was very modern and clean, lovely bed and bathroom, was also very warm which was needed when we went in December! Staff were lovely and it was an easy walk to the city center and train station. The only minor thing was you could hear everything going on in the hallway, even when people were talking quietly walking and closing doors, so not the best night sleep (even though the bed was amazing!).

This hotel has loads of character. If you’re looking for something modern and high-tech, it’s probably not the place for you. But I felt like I got an authentic Yorkshire experience. The location is really good. Outside the city walls, so it’s easy to maneuver with a car. But only about a 10 minute walk from the center, so it was easy to get there (even in the middle of a rain storm, which I gather is not unusual). It’s unlikely I’ll travel again to York, as I feel I’ve checked it off the list. But if fate brings me there, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at the Elmbank again.
