When arrived, had to call a mobile to check in and was given a code for front door, then a code for the room, which seemed strange, but once in the room there was a key card, so was fine. Clean and tidy. Fridge in room as well as tea, coffee and bottled water. Had to hunt for the towels, as they were in the wardrobe! I (female) was staying with my young son and was concerned about the front door. Everytime we went in or out, it was either not shut correctly or someone had left it with the Yale lock unlocked, so anyone could walk in. You had to make a concerted effort to make sure the door locked, so being open could have been by accident, but when unlocked, someone had to have done that on purpose. There was parking at the rear, but this was reduced due to a truck being parked there, and how it was parked limited number of cars that could park without blocking in other cars. There was also a few spaces to park on the main road. Overall, the place was good, in a good location for the city centre, clean and value for money.

Recently had a stay here and have no complaints, the check in was nice and easy. The lady that did our check in was informative and friendly, didn't leave us needing anything. The room was clean and the room had complimentary bottled water and biscuits. If you need a well priced place to stay near York centre I'd recommend here

Good for what you pay for

Overall, for the price we paid and for a place to simply sleep and shower I am happy with my experience. There is limited private parking at the rear of the building (about 4 car spaces) but also street parking is available. The people are lovely and they were swift and friendly with checking me into my room. We were in a double bed room plus a single bed with an ensuite, and it was all tidy and clean upon arrival. The only downsides was that one of the windows had a crack in it and the room gets quite warm (we stayed in mid July). The room comes with a standing fan you can use though. We also got a takeout to have in the hotel room and it was helpful that we had a mini fridge in our room. It came with cutlery but we did notice downstairs there is a seating area and a kitchen space that I think residents are welcome to use. They also have an ironing board and you can ask for an iron too from the friendly staff.
