We lived that it was easy to find, central and modern. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The hotel was modern and breakfast was wholesome. We didn’t like paying the £16 parking but the river walks were special

Check in speedy and efficient. Room is great value, though upper floors of hotel look tired and well used. Reception and bar & restaurant open plan and modern, with quirky fixtures and service. We were staying as we had concert tickets for the Barbican (just across the road) so happily paid the £16 (!) for secure overnight parking. Breakfast was excellent, with a full view of the barrage and riverside walkways. Staff were good at explaining the buffet and what was available. Lovely light room and fab coffee, I had a full english breakfast, husband had a continental. We Would recommend this hotel, it's excellent value for money, and its central location is ideal for exploring.

The staff were excellent and the location is also great. Easy walk to the key sights of York. However, the property was dated, with stains to the carpet and issues in the bathroom. They were renovating several areas at the time which is good news.

Bath was dirty and full of hair. 1 towel was used and covered in hair and make up. Shower screen was dirty. Carpet around the bin was covered in stains which looked awful. Bedside light was broken and hanging by the wire.

Poor upkeep of the room
Amazing hotel, the reception area is very modern, vibrant and welcoming, the staff are lovely and the car park system is simple and easy. The hotel is in a fantastic location, just minutes to the centre of York. The room however whilst being modern, bright and spacious was let down by the heavily marked carpet and the USB sockets which did not work, all was mentioned to the hotel on checkout, these issues let the rest of our stay down.
