Holiday Inn YORK by IHG
8.5 (218 reviews)

Holiday Inn YORK by IHG ★★★★

📍 Tadcaster Rd, Dringhouses, York

"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
8.4 (123 reviews)

The Lighthorseman ★★★

📍 124 Fulford Rd, York

"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."

Hampton by Hilton York Piccadilly
9.0 (408 reviews)

Hampton by Hilton York Piccadilly ★★★

📍 46-50 Piccadilly, York

"A solid hotel, comparable to Hampton Inn hotels back home. There are two Hampton Inns in York, so when driving, it's best to enter the postcode for navigation. Don't just type the brand name. If you use the hotel name, make sure to add the location. We went to the wrong one initially and had to drive for another 5 minutes to get to the correct one. The hotel's location is excellent. About 100 meters to the left when you exit, there's a Tesco Express, which is very affordable. On the ground floor outside the hotel, there's a surprisingly open, semi-enclosed glass baggage lift that can take large luggage up to the lobby. The rooms are spacious, and the bathroom has the standard Hampton Inn setup. The room is functional, similar to its counterparts in China, though it lacks the complimentary self-service laundry facilities typically found in equivalent hotels there. Breakfast is a self-service buffet included in the room rate. It's a British-style buffet with eggs, sausages, ham, grilled tomatoes, baked beans, various breads, toaster breads, four types of stewed fruit, fresh apples. On weekends, bananas are also available. There's coffee, fresh milk, yogurt, nuts, cereals, and portable packaged fiber biscuits. My friends were very happy with the food."

The Queens Hotel & Victoria Cloisters Apartments
8.7 (218 reviews)

The Queens Hotel & Victoria Cloisters Apartments ★★★

📍 Skeldergate, York

"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."

Roomzzz York City
9.0 (132 reviews)

Roomzzz York City ★★★★

📍 Terry Ave, York

"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)"

📍 124 Holgate Rd, Holgate, York

York Pavilion Hotel, BW Signature Collection by Best Western
8.8 (70 reviews)

York Pavilion Hotel, BW Signature Collection by Best Western ★★★

📍 45 Main St, Fulford, York

"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."

Safestay York Micklegate ★★★

📍 88-90 Micklegate, York

"Great value hotel with a classic style. The customer service was excellent. It's clean and tidy, and each bed has a curtain for privacy, which is a thoughtful touch. It's also conveniently located near York railway station."

Holiday Inn YORK by IHG ★★★★
"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."

"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."

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 Queens Hotel & Victoria Cloisters Apartments ★★★
"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."

"The room itself was very comfortable and spacious, but the upstairs was incredibly noisy. I'm not sure what they were doing up there, but I was definitely woken up every single day."

Safestay York Micklegate ★★★
"This hotel isn't bad at all. It's close to the train station, which makes coming and going very convenient. The city isn't very big, so getting to attractions is easy. The room size is decent, and it has a window, making it bright and airy. However, the bathroom is quite small. The front desk staff are very friendly. There are metal storage lockers under the bed, which are easy to slide in and out. A 20-inch suitcase fits inside and can be opened, but there's no lock, so you'd need to bring your own. Breakfast is simple and good value for money. Although check-in is officially at 3 PM, I arrived at 2 PM and was able to check in."
