The cathedral is magnificent, the nightly at 21:00hrs Horn Blower in the square, plenty of eating establishments (Valentino's was particularly good; had to go there and stay because The Old Deanery (sadly) is closed on Sundays). Excellent location.

Delightful small city with attractive market square; lots of cafes and restaurants (open on Sunday afternoon and evening!) Dined twice at the excellent Valentino's. Went twice to choral evensong.

Fountains Abbey was very interesting. As was Ripon Cathedral. Ripon itself as a town/city was nothing special.

Loved it have visted before so decided to stay overnight to experience it fully. Great place.
"Friendly staff were able to accomodate me for an earlier check in. the room was clean and well stocked with drinks and big plus for there being a fridge"
"I stayed here a long time ago when it was in soft-opening mode. I didn't know there were newer additions to the hotel, and I wish I'd known to book a room in main building with high ceiling."
"The property is well located for a stay in York, convenient for the train station and also for access to the city centre.
It was clean and the room was well appointed.
Lovely roof top bar giving a view across the city.
Breakfast was good."
"In a really good position for getting into the city, with many bars and restaurants very close by, parking onsite is a little expensive (in my opinion) £25 per night. We found a parking spot 5 minutes walk away for £9 overnight, other than that definitely recommend this hotel."
