Holiday Inn YORK by IHG
8.3 (221 reviews)

Holiday Inn YORK by IHG ★★★★

📍 Tadcaster Rd, Dringhouses, York

"Booked for 3 nights on strength of 4 out of 5 review. Within 2 hours of checking in asked to change rooms as we were put in a room that backed on to the lift shaft with no soundproofing and it was noisy with lots of clanging and banging. The staff were great and accommodated our request without hesitation. The next room we were given we had an issue with very loud music coming from neighbouring room. We informed the reception who promptly dealt with this. The rooms are very dated with lots of wear and tear. The mattress was uncomfortable and bigger than the base it sat on and had a stained valance. And the pillows were inadequate. There were no bin liners and the shower had mould and the shower control came off in my hand. The lobby and dining area are very good but the rooms are not. Didn’t eat there so can’t say what the food is like. We only stayed for one night out of the three and checked in to another hotel. This hotel needs investment, the rooms need to be refitted and the hotel needs soundproofing."

The Lighthorseman ★★★

📍 124 Fulford Rd, York

"Cozy spacious room for a good price, friendly staff. Location is a bit out of a city center, but right on the way to Designer's Outlet. Anyway it took for me around 20 min of fast walking to reach a railroad station, which is not so far."

The Queens Hotel & Victoria Cloisters Apartments ★★★

📍 Skeldergate, York

"We stayed in a family room for four people, located on the top floor. There's an elevator and paid parking available, along with a complimentary breakfast that was quite substantial. Most of the guests were retired seniors. Overall, while the hotel is a bit old, it's clean and well-maintained."

Aldwark Manor Estate Hotels in York

"The place was very opulent indeed! We were very happy with our stay. Initially Tammy the receptionist told us that there were limited slots for the spa and restaurant. However the hotel was virtually empty. A party of 16 guests was in during our stay but the hotel was definitely not busy at all. We therefore had to rush to have dinner and only enjoy an hour of our spa visit instead of 2 hours allocated. She told us the only spa slot was 7-9pm (we were the only ones in there) and dinner they only had 6:45, 7 and 7:15pm meaning we got an hour for food and an hour in the spa. This wasn’t a huge issue as we didn’t need more than an hour in the spa. The steamroom was useless. No steam at all even though the attendant reset it. Sauna was great and pool was great. Changing facilities were lovely. Food was nice 8/10. The Amuse-bouche was delicious and a complimentary starter. The mrs loved her venison. My steak was average and the chips also average. Pricey at £92 for the one course but to be expected as the place is very luxurious. Staff were brilliant. Very professional and polite. Breakfast was decent. Staff again were brilliant and boxed one up as the mrs was getting ready we wouldn’t have made the 10am cut off."

Holiday Inn YORK by IHG ★★★★
"Found walnuts under the mattress near the edge, glad I don’t have a nut allergy or a family staying in that room with a toddler who has allergies. Could’ve ended up pretty serious if a small child had eaten a nut."

The Lighthorseman ★★★
"I had a pleasant stay. The location is within walking distance of many attractions, restaurants, and cafés, making it very convenient for sightseeing and finding food and beverages without needing transportation. The room is clean with complimentary tea bags and cookies provided, which made the stay feel more welcoming and comfortable. However, guests should be aware of the hotel's strict operating hours and check-in/check-out policies. The reception is only open from 2:00 PM to 11:00 PM, although the property can still be accessed with a key outside these hours. Check-out is at 10:00 AM, and the hotel does not offer luggage storage after check-out, which may be inconvenient for travelers with later flights or plans in the city."

The Queens Hotel & Victoria Cloisters Apartments ★★★
"The hotel boasts a nice riverside view, but the facilities are quite old, and the lack of air conditioning in the room made for an uncomfortable stay. Breakfast requires a reservation, and unfortunately, the 7-9 AM slots weren't available for booking, which made dining inconvenient. Overall, the experience was just okay. There's no dedicated luggage storage room; bags are just left next to the front desk, posing a risk of loss."

"Check in good, car park well lit and maintained. The team of female receptionists helpful and pleasant throughout our stay. Cleanliness throughout excellent but maintenance seems to have regressed from our previous visit. Cold tap by coffee machine o/o/o and paint missing around door architrave in bathroom (233)"

York Pavilion Hotel, BW Signature Collection by Best Western ★★★
"We enjoyed our stay, was a fabulous location with a car as only a short walk or drive to central cork. Staff, room and breakfast was lovely, our only critique was there was a wedding reception downstairs which was unfortunately VERY loud and didn’t finish until midnight. The staff were kind and apologetic, however unfortunately meant no sleep until the party was over."

"Everything was good overall, except that I did not sleep well because other guests were snoring throughout the night, which caused me to wake up several times. I understand that this is beyond the hotel’s control, but I just wanted to mention it."
