Very pleasant two night stay

Lovely couple of days spent in York. Hotel in a good location with secure parking & only 10 - 15 minutes walk into the town centre. We only had breakfast in the hotel but it was very nice buffet style with plenty of choice continental & cooked. Staff where helpful and attentive and the hotel had very nice open plan décor. The pool area was very clean. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness
There is a lot of sweet paste in the refrigerator, the carpet feels very dirty, the shower towel is very old, there is no trash can or hand washing in the toilet. The room should be renovated. It is not worth paying more than 200 pounds. There are very few types of breakfast food.

Novotel used to be our first choice hotel in York., Sadly over the years the rates became increasingly none competitive and the room designs following a rebrand were a disaster. It would appear that a 20yr old student of design who has never stayed in a hotel was given the job! Not even a coat hook in the room! Having been given a "disabled access" room I went to reception. Not wanting to take a room that was then not available to someone with a disability as we did not need a room of that specification. Reception said it wasn't an issue unless we wanted to move, so we kept the room. The irony.... the room design was equipped with a very large batch
