Great hotel near station

Had a lovely stay at The Milner, was pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a Superior Double on arrival so had the luxury of a huge shower and also a freestanding bath to use during our stay. The bed was huge and very comfortable. we used the Swollen Gambler bar and also ate breakfast during our stay and found both very good. Choice of food at breakfast was good and plentiful. Our only gripe was because we stayed in the older part of the hotel overlooking the station area, the old sash windows let in a lot of noise and we were frequently woken by delivery trucks arriving in the early hours, no real issues as we could lie in to get our sleep back but if we were travelling for business and had to be up and out this could be an issue. Overall with the smooth check in and very nive public areas I would definitely recommend the hotel

The communal areas especially the garden room & the open hallway/ staircase / reading area are stunning. The twin room was disappointing by comparison, did not feel warm& welcoming. Rather stark & basic. Bathroom was large & very nice but the “ wet room “ type shower sent water hurtling up to the wall, under washbasin& toilet,flooding the whole area& could not stand to get ready in mirror without my boots on. I reported to reception who sent a man who mopped up the water with lots of towels & brought fresh ones.No explanation was offered & I did NOT risk another shower the next day. They did not offer to move me or suggest anything? I had paid on arrival for x2 nights as mine was a debit card& was told they had to take it straight away on debit card, unlike credit card on leaving in which case I would have felt more able to negotiate a reduction in price!

It’s a beautiful building right next to the train station and a few minutes walk to city centre The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. But the breakfast wasn’t good, especially considering the price they charged. It’s worse than Holiday Inn’s breakfast which is much cheaper. The raining shower didn’t work.

Only liked the close proximity to York city. We booked a Signature Studio Suite, City View . The room was 209 and it was dark , dingy , tired and grubby. The pillows were the cheap foam filled variety , the bedding itself was decent cotton quality. On arrival the room aircon had been set at 23 degrees which was far too hot for us and the aircon would not function to a setting below 19 degrees .As the windows were restricted from opening beyond a few inches we had a hot sleepless night .Breakfast was a pretty basic buffet with a lot of guests crammed into a corner of a big room queuing up to load their plates .To add insult to injury , we needed to use an hotel umbrella, we forgot ours, and were charged £2 for the privilege. I am sorry , but paying £318 to stay one night in what looked like a retirement home was the final insult.
