The Lighthorseman
8.4 (122 reviews)

The Lighthorseman ★★★

📍 124 Fulford Rd, York

"The standard of the hotel is really very standard. This time when I traveled to the UK, I basically booked Holiday Inn. The hotel's hygiene, service, and breakfast were all very good, and I had a deep sleep!"

Hampton by Hilton York Piccadilly
9.0 (400 reviews)

Hampton by Hilton York Piccadilly ★★★

📍 46-50 Piccadilly, York

"The room was quite small and the air conditioning wasn't very effective. There was an electric kettle, but no dental kit. The breakfast buffet in the morning was good. There are supermarkets, small restaurants, and bars very close by, just a short walk away."

The Milner York
8.8 (324 reviews)

The Milner York ★★★★

📍 Station Rd, York

"The Milner York features a grand late-Victorian facade built from distinctive yellow Scarborough brick. Inside, the stunning entrance lobby showcases an ornate historical dome and elegant monochrome tiled flooring. The hotel's crown jewel is a sweeping, central iron staircase surrounded by high ceilings. Public lounges beautifully blend historic opulence with plush chesterfield sofas and herringbone wood floors. However, multiple guests note that the contemporary bedrooms are noticeably smaller in size. This compact room layout is especially apparent within the modern "Sidings" annexe."

The Queens Hotel & Victoria Cloisters Apartments
8.8 (205 reviews)

The Queens Hotel & Victoria Cloisters Apartments ★★★

📍 Skeldergate, York

"Good location. Nice breakfast. No air con in rooms. Stayed in inner courtyard room and heat was horrendous in July. No air coming in from window. Need air con units in these rooms Fan provided. Reception area could do with update. Unpleasant air freshener smell in reception area Receptionist on arrival didnt give friendly vibe, seemed disinterested."

YHA York
8.4 (59 reviews)

YHA York ★★

📍 42 Water End, Clifton, York

"This was my first time staying in a hostel. There weren't many people on the floor when we went, so the experience was great. The bathroom was clean, and the shower was dry and clean. The room was a bit cold in winter, but it was very good value for money."

Roomzzz York City
9.0 (123 reviews)

Roomzzz York City ★★★★

📍 Terry Ave, York

"The location by the river is very quiet. All the city's attractions are within walking distance. Although the room is small, it has a small pantry where you can cook simple meals, which is a great plus! The lobby has a 24-hour coffee machine with freshly ground coffee, and croissants are available for breakfast in the morning. Starting the day with a cup of rich coffee and a croissant before heading out for your day's activities is indeed an excellent choice!"

Holiday Inn YORK by IHG
8.5 (211 reviews)

Holiday Inn YORK by IHG ★★★★

📍 Tadcaster Rd, Dringhouses, York

"The room price it's much affordable compared with those in the city centre. You only need to spend £8-ish to take a uber here. Everything you need is included in the room. It also provide free snacks and canned water."

Hampton by Hilton York
9.1 (697 reviews)

Hampton by Hilton York ★★★

📍 Toft Grn, York

"Excellent location, close to the train station."

Novotel York Centre
8.9 (95 reviews)

Novotel York Centre ★★★★

📍 Fishergate, York

"The hotel charges guests £18 for parking, compared to £35 for non-guests, which is quite reasonable considering the spacious and unrestricted in-and-out access. Its friendly proximity to the city center makes it a great choice for a city walk, especially with York's unique cultural charm. Definitely recommend."

The Lighthorseman ★★★
"It's a small independent building with a yard at the back for free parking. There's a bar downstairs that seems to be open until quite late. It feels a bit like a family hotel. Open the window (the old-fashioned one that opens upwards like you see in movies and TV) and you can see the street view and residential buildings outside. It's also a different experience."

Hampton by Hilton York Piccadilly ★★★
"The hotel is located just south of York city, right opposite a bus stop. It's newly renovated and much better than the nearby Hilton, Holiday Inn, and Travelodge."

The Milner York ★★★★
"I booked two rooms. One of them was very spacious, and the beds were really comfortable. The shower had great water pressure and was nice and hot. The location is excellent, right across from the train station. My train was at 8:20 AM, and I could leave the hotel at 8:05 AM and still make it. Fantastic!"

Hampton by Hilton York ★★★
"The room was clean, tidy, and quiet. It's conveniently located near the train station, just a 5-minute walk, and right by the city walls. The surrounding area is a bit secluded; you'll need to walk about ten minutes to find shops. The room itself was a bit small. York's prices are slightly lower than London's."
