Very convenient location. Essentially it is part of the very extensive railway station making travel much easier. However the hotel obviously once was a palatial building but now is badly in need of a major renovation and update. Enjoy the history but the royals have moved out.

This beautiful old building is such a lovely place to stay in York. The staff can’t do enough for you and the bedrooms are well equipped and very comfortable. The location for the Train station is perfect and It’s just a short walk into the city. Would highly recommend.

Hotel was lovely and clean and looked beautiful inside and out. Food was good with plenty of choice at breakfast. All staff were lovely and really helpful and very pleasant. Bathroom in our room was massive and the shower had great pressure. I would say that the room for a superior room was on the small side and should really have bathrobes and slippers.

Room was clean and nice but heating did not work properly and after one cold night we were given small electric radiators. Breakfast was very average. Communal areas in the hotel were very nice although pool was closed which we had not been told about. Location is excellent.
