The location allows for easy access to York's centre, either by a short 10- to 20-minute walk to the Minster or via the convenient bus service with stops right outside.

wonderful stay!

essential information poached egg

he took his time to share essential information about the area. i found the room spotlessly clean and breakfast was amazing and the poached egg was the best i have had. i definitely plan a return visit.

the room was warm and i would have appreciated a cooler temperature in the room. also the traffic from the road was louder than i expected it made it a bit hard to fall asleep.

the location was acceptable being a short distance from the main attractions.

I was not happy with the traffic noise. It was quite loud and made it hard to relax. the room decor seemed very kitsch. It wasn't quite to my taste and felt a little overwhelming.
