Lovely hotel, great reception and room service staff. Friendly and very helpful. We had a king size courtyard room which was clean and had a fridge and kettle. Bed was comfortable and shower worked well. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment on that. Parking available at hotel but limited or car park at the Mount School which always had spaces. The walk into York took about 25 minutes. Only small criticism was the bar ran out of drinks including sauvignon white wine. Other than that would definitely come and stay again.

Elmbank was a lovely hotel but there were a couple of things which made us feel we did not get good value for money. The information we received prior to arrival was out of date. As an example it advised us to ring on the day of arrival to book parking which we were advised was not possible. Parking is purely first come first served. The toilet was not clean around the seat fixings. There was a plaster from previous guests in the bin! There was no hot water for one of us the have a decent shower one morning!

A lovely period hotel that was spotlessly clean and had very comfortable beds. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Just a short 20 minute walk in to the city centre. Would highly recommend and we'll definitely be returning.

Breakfast was good, and Victor was excellent, a good choice of food and efficient service. Our room was in the Lodge, the room was very nice, large, and comfortable. However, the bathroom was cold, take a pair of slippers, if going in Nov/Dec otherwise you will get cold feet, Shower was very good. Unfortunately, we never got house keeping at all, After spending 5 hours walking round York, you just want to get back to your room and chill. But i had to go to reception everyday for Coffee and milk, because housekeeper had not been to our room. I had to ask for a fresh towel and a toilet roll. There was no conditioner in the dispenser, My room and toilet was not cleaned or freshened at all during our stay. It would have been easier, cheaper and better organised to have gone self catering. It may only seem a small matter, but to me, it is a very important part of stay in an hotel. Although location was appropriate for my needs. i was so disappointed with the treatment, it really spoilt my stay.

Everything from the staff to the decor was wonderful. It doesn't look like much on the outside, but as soon as you walk in you know you're going to have a great stay. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The bar staff were equally friendly. I had a ton in the courtyard and it was very clean and comfortable. I will definitely be staying here again.

Good location for walking into York and a beautiful old building. Staff are helpful and friendly however pool is a 15 minute walk away at another site so more of a case they know someone with a pool rather than having one. Hotel is split over 2 buildings, the hotel and the lodge, we where in the lodge across the road which is 3 floors with no lift so not really suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Room was nicely decorated and spacious but not as clean as it could be and probably a personal thing but had feather pillows which we struggled to get comfortable on and the noise from the room above sounded like a herd of cattle in steel toe cap boots running round. Breakfast was a mixed bag, full English was very poor but eggs Benedict was very good and because it is served in the main hotel block you have to leave the lodge and cross the road in all weathers to use. So overall the hotel building is beautiful and good service but don’t bother taking your swimming costume and I would recommend call ahead to ask for a room in the main building, ask for non feather pillows and stick to anything other than the full English for breakfast.

Very sweet and helpful woman at the front desk at check in. They noted our party would like to be adjacent and saved us connected rooms. Check in was quick and easy except their form requires 4 signatures per room which was a lot of signing after. A long trip. Our courtyard room was spotless, quiet and comfortable. It's small but very well appointed.

The hotel was excellent. Beautiful building with historic features throughout. We loved the 'lodge-style' room in the courtyard, brilliantly quiet and well decorated. Clean and modern with great facilities including: iron and ironing board, tea/coffee tray and in-room safe. The TV was a large wide-screen. Would have wanted a second bedside table as one was missing but that's being picky! Would definitely stay again as the location a short walk from the station and Mickelgate was ideal!
