The staff at Hilton York were very helpful and pleasant, especially Sasha who helped us with an alternate parking option at Novotel due to the marathon the next AM and our need to depart before it ends.  …

Had a family room (3 of us) so had a double bed and a single. Room was sufficient in size for us. Surprisingly, no fridge in the room. Beds were very comfortable. We had the “room and breakfast” rate.  …

A complete no-no and a massive design flaw in this hotel is there's no plug sockets either side of the bed. Basic stuff, but it was missing here. Bathroom so tiny you almost had to back into it. The drain in the bath was broken and maintenance had to be called to remove the plug so the water could drain out. Housekeeping hadn't noticed that the hand cream dispenser was empty. A simple redesign of the room would give much more space. On the positive side, the location is good, and we didn't notice any noise. Not sure I'd ever return here though. Seemed second rate and not up to the standard that its name would imply. Staff very efficient and pleasant.

The family rooms are very small, as is the double bed and the mattress on the sofa bed was rock hard. The bathroom was very small also - you almost get wedged in between the toilet and door when trying to close the door behind you. The lock on the bathroom door didn't work which isn't ideal when you have a two year old with you. There wasn't any climate control in the room but there was a radiator. However, the radiator didn't work - perhaps it just needed to be bled but it made for a very chilly uncomfortable night. The staff were nice enough. Breakfast was good.

Hotels in a great spot and the staff are friendly. My room was badly in need of a refurb. Similar standard to Travelodge but double the price. …

The staff was so kind and accommodating! The location is wonderful, very central, pretty quiet, and with a great view of the castle depending on where your room is. The rooms are pretty spacious, clean, and up to date. It can get a little hot because there is no AC but there is a plug in fan and the windows open so you can have a breeze at night. Though be careful when you do because there are no screens so bugs could come in if it is in the warm month.

On arrival at the hotel, the staff seemed very welcoming and polite. The hotel is registered as a 4 * hotel. But I was very surprised that the room did not have tea and coffee making facilities, especially when we paid an upgrade fee for the room

This was the second place we stayed on a 2-week journey. The rooms were comfortable and well appointed. The location was fantastic. Breakfast was great. Service was awesome. Late night drinks and a dessert cheese board was beautiful. I would definitely stay at this hotel again. And I appreciate their cheerfulness and their willingness to help us make our trip fantastic.
