In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Free on-site parking — A private car park is available at no extra cost, a real plus in a city where parking can be tight.

  • Comfortable rooms — Guests regularly call the beds comfy and the rooms clean, with tea and coffee facilities provided.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Not the most central location — Clifford's Tower is about a 25-minute walk, so you'll either walk or rely on the nearby bus.
  • Check-in is within a limited window — Arrival is only between 14:00 and 22:00, which might be restrictive if you're arriving late.
  • No pets and no smoking on site — If you're travelling with a dog or smoke, this property won't suit you.
  • Rating lower than the York average — The guest score of 7.2 sits below the area average of 9.8, though individual reviews are mostly positive.

“Really good hotel with free Wi-Fi, luggage storage, and a no-smoking policy. The staff once helped me retrieve my forgotten earphones, which I still remember. I’d happily recommend it for a comfortable stay.”

7.2Verified guest

“The bed was comfortable, and the staff were very friendly and helpful, apart from the boss.”

7.2Verified guest

“The room is about 10–15 minutes’ walk from the centre of York, parking for a rental car at the house was no problem, and breakfast was a picnic basket – perfectly fine.”

7.2Verified guest

“Lovely place, very comfy beds, and friendly staff. The triple room impressed me. Great location, very close to a performing arts theatre. It’s within 20 minutes’ walk of the bus stop.”
