Holiday Inn York City Centre

York|0.24km from Clifford's Tower, York
We stayed last weekend to celebrate two birthdays and we arrived on the Friday night at approximately 8.00 pm. We managed to get a car park at the Peel Street car park which is literally located at the back of the hotel. You can unload at the the front on the hotel and the road isn't that busy so you can pull up and unload safely. Reception staff friendly and polite and we were allocated room 209. Upon entering the room is did seem dark and not very big and it was a double bed, but the room was clean and it was what we had booked. We went out for the evening just to grab a quick bite to eat and when entering the room and getting ready for bed it was quite noisy outside. I checked the window and the vent only to realise it was shut. I went to Reception to discuss the noise level as I thought it was coming from Weatherspoon's Pub across the road but in fact I had my geographic location wrong and it was in fact coming from a park that is located at the side of the hotel. The staff were very helpful in checking the floors of the hotel to double check it was not coming from within the hotel but we did ascertain that it was in fact people in the park. (NOTE this is not the hotels fault at all). The hotel dealt with this promptly and it went very quiet after about 20 mins so I am guessing the people were moved on by the authorities. The next morning we were relocated to a higher floor, same type of room and layout which served our purposes much better as the room was much lighter and quieter. Thank you. A great view over the city was was lovely. The Manager on site that weekend was very polite and helpful in moving us the following morning when their was availability and rectified the situation promptly for us. It was my birthday weekend and once we were moved we really felt we started to unwind and enjoy our weekend away. Breakfast was plentiful on all three days and the staff in the breakfast room are smiley, polite and constantly checking things were in stock and were always clearing tables. It is a busy breakfast room but nothing was too much trouble for them......even warming the pancakes up as it is a buffet breakfast. Thank you Tia the Manager for solving the problem we had and for Nicky and his co-worker (apologies a lovely blond lady) who went floor to floor on the Friday night to look for the noise which I am glad to say it wasn't coming from within our hotel). A great hotel for walking in the city and although we did have a small problem the Management dealt with it, without any hassle and it was not awkward when seeing them again which was lovely.

I will start with the parking, I paid for secure parking however due to the hotel having noise issue the security gate to the carpark (The noise caused complaints) and second issue of refurbishment being ongoing, the gate was up to allow the building teams to park in the entrance way. This made it difficult to get out of the carpark due to there vans. When I questioned staff they were very dismissive of the issue and said they had CCTV on so it would be fine. The hotel itself is being partial refurbished and that is to revamp the very dated rooms, we were aware of this beforehand, however we were not prepared for 7am drilling and banging from the building works. In addition to this the corridors were often filled with building equipment and furniture which was ongoing throughout the stay. The room, while well proportioned, was very dated. This could have been forgiven if it wasn't for the fact the room was not clean. There were a number of stains on the carpet, the bathroom sink was stinking when used. The bath mat was moldy and the shower itself was a trickle of water, making it difficult to wash quickly. The curtains were very grubby and the room smelled very stale, the bed was adequate but we couldn't be 100% that the sheets had been properly cleaned as there was an odd smell to the bedding. The TV was of decent size but kept cutting in and out of signal when in use, which was annoying when we decided to have an early evening chilling in the room we had paid for, the WiFi was useless, if planning to work while staying here you will need to hotspot your phone. The breakfast food was OK, however the description of a wide choice of cooked food and continental breakfast dishes was over exaggerated, there was no fruit on two days and bananas on the last morning, one choice of yogurt and 3 small cereal options. The cooked food was standard: Bacon, eggs, sausages, hash browns, tomatoes,mushrooms and bean's. Toast was something that had to be requested and was more like warm bread. On the first morning my partner was served a cup with the remainder of someone's lipstick stains on the rim. On closer inspection of the glasses there were a number which were not clean. On the second night we went to the bar area to grab a couple of drinks. The bar was full of empty unwashed glasses and when we got our drinks our glasses where sticky. There was a smell of stale ale which was not appealing in the slightest. On checking out raised a couple of things with the receptionist and was meet with at best distinct lack of interest and worst just plan rudeness. Sadly this hotel did not meet the standards it professed to uphold. I would say the location and river view was pretty and the fact the parking was at the hotel itself made it one of the reasons I booked it. However after this visit I will not be visiting again as there are better hotels in York and carparks that are not much more expensive than the supposed secure parking.

Hampton by Hilton York Piccadilly
4.4/566 Reviews
A fantastic hotel. Check in was easy with friendly staff. Our room was very clean, modern and comfortable. Rooms come with and iron and ironing board and a hairdryer. Plus in the bathroom there’s toiletries. This was an ideal location it was close to everything. Within 5 minutes or less we were at the shambles. The shambles car park is a short walk away and you get 20% discount if staying at the hotel. Breakfast at the hotel was delicious with a wide variety of choice, there’s even a waffle maker with a good choice of toppings. We opted to go for breakfast around 7 am as we are early birds plus we like to beat the queues/ rush. We did see how busy it can get later on so I would recommend earlier the better. We will definitely be staying here again hopefully can get an adjoining room as our kids will be coming with us.
Roomzzz York City

Awful stay, sleep deprived because we had a faulty fire alarm screaming alarms into our ears and the last night and following day were completely ruined for us negating the whole point of a short two day city break. Fire alarm was faulty and repeatedly went off during the night, screeching into your ears starting at 10 pm, if that doesn’t sound like fun to you, avoid, especially as the issue wasn’t fixed when we left. Alarm issues started on Sunday morning but didn't seem to be passed onto staff on Sunday evening and were not dealt with or forwarded. Fire alarm went off on Sunday night at 10pm which should have registered a major issue but rather than deal with it, roomzzz just left it. I rang the member of staff on duty and told him it needed silencing due to him saying it was a faulty sensor and i informed him it had gone off before that day of which he was not aware. He simply wasn't trained to do it or trained in escalation and simply left it, having already disturbed everyone at 10pm on a Sunday night which is ultimately managements fault for not making sure staff understood what to do in emergency situations. Faulty alarm then predictably woke everybody up at 2am which i told the member of staff the first time we didn’t want to be woken up again, then at half 2 and then it went off again a few times when the staff member finally decided to get the manager out of bed, which should have happened when the issue first appeared on Sunday morning or at the very least sorted at 10pm when it went off at 10pm Sunday evening. To top it off it went off again Monday morning at 11am. The Manager was nice but full of the usual excuses which i just were not buying, she said it could have been handled better but it was handled at all, it was amateur at roomzzz York. Its likely still faulty as i type this due to the alarm company clearly not being called out. She said there was not a lot that could be done because it’s the fire alarm which is just…a lie, the zone or faulty sensor should have been isolated on the system. Again lack of knowledge on what to do from management. To top it off we had someone hammering away on Monday morning at 11 am, clearly nobody communicates who is in what rooms. Other than that the stay was standard though not to the quality we had when we visited the Chester roomzzz aparthotel. TV was faulty when we booked in which was a minor inconvenience but nothing compared to having screeching faulty fire alarms shocking you out of bed. Awful experience and we rushed home due to been knackered because my partner couldn’t get back to sleep, rather than enjoying the day out in York.

Came a little early & staff was nice enough to let us to our room. The location is great for all the touristic spots. You gotta stand on top of the bathtub if you wanna shower, thats the only disadvantage i see in this hotel.

Hotel Indigo York
4.5/558 Reviews
The room is designed in British style and is of high quality. The high bed and soft pillows are of high quality and very comfortable. We were initially given a room on the ground floor next to the road, which was very noisy. After negotiating with the front desk, we changed it to a room not facing the road the next day, which was quiet and comfortable. The breakfast is generally very good. There are staple food choices made to order, including juices, various coffees and teas, fruits, cheeses, cured meats and cold cuts, as well as bread, pastries and cereals. The quality is good and cost-effective. But if China There may not be much left for the stomach to eat. The restaurant was very busy on weekends, and the service couldn't keep up. There was an old lady who seemed to be the supervisor, who looked a little busy, dizzy, and unhappy.
Novotel York Centre
4.2/5132 Reviews
Was worried reading reviews but we had the best get away here for our wedding anniversary. Our room was overlooking the small courtyard and was very clean. Could not fault our room. We arrived early so had a drink at the bar, check in was quick and easy and the lady on reception was very pleasant and polite. Nice touch of chocolates in our room for our anniversary. Only a 10 minute walk into the main centre which has plenty to do and see. Before we left Sunday we wanted to explore and was advised we could stay in the car park as long as needed. Was very quiet in our room and had a decent night sleep. We will definitely return, we had the most perfect weekend.

York Travel Guide

Hotels in York

Weather and Best time to travel:

Correctly placed between London and Edinburg, the York city lies in North Yorkshire, England. The city has Roman roots and is a quintessential doorstep to the ancient British Experience. Inside the city, the street and walls are still rich in history with independent shops and lively eateries around. Every month the city puts up a festival and attracts millions of visitors. The spirit of living and its murky history makes this city a must-visit. Lying around 270 kilometres north of London, the city is built at the confluence of River Foss and River Ouse. It enjoys a temperate climate which means it has four distinct seasons. The city’s climate is warmer and drier as compared to the rest of Yorkshire. It is also prone to fog, frosts and cold winds in winter, spring and early summer season. York also witnesses snowfall from December to April but it easily melts.  So, keeping all of this in mind the best season to visit would be from March to May. The city looks beautiful around this time due to flowers blooming all around. But this happens to be the peak season as well, so you may find a large crowd around and expensive accommodation.
