Top York Hotel Reviews

The Milner York

8/10 Good

"The hotel itself was absolutely wonderful and breath taking! My partner and I booked the signature suite with the city view through Expedia with the expectation we would have a clear view of the York minster as pictured, however, the room we were given had no such view. I understand there are variations to the suites but this specific view was my main reason to book this room so was quite disappointed with this. Other than this, we had a lovely stay at the Milner York and cannot fault the customer service and the food!"

"Lovely hotel with character. Breakfast was calm and quiet - just what was needed and filled us up for the day! Staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel was clean. The lift was very small and made strange noises so not for those who don’t like them! Furniture/ air con etc in rooms does need updating but considering the heat we had an excellent night’s sleep"

Malmaison York

8/10 Good

"Staff in reception were friendly and helpful. I was disappointed that on hotels.com there wasn't much said about the opening days of the roof terrace yet had mentioned the terrace so assumed we couldn use it. On arrival we found out it was shut Monday & Tuesday we also found out that you need to book well in all to get a table on the terrace & without a booking you cannot go up to the terrace. The room was great as well as the breakfast.the hotel itself walking distance to station & city centre"
