Hotel is decorated in a wonderfully eclectic style, so much brighter than the normal beige/grey/taupe you normally see! A real feast for the eyes. Reception is well organised and efficient. We had garden room which was well set out and appropriate size. Beds were comfortable as was room temperature. Shower room was excellent, very clean and water pressure very good. Breakfast in main dining room, self service with good selection. York centre is a 25 minute walk along the main road - flat and with good signage. Would recommend if you want to stay 'in' York but prefer not to stay in the city centre.

Although abounding in reminders of the past, York is very much a city for the here and now, with excellent shops, bars and restaurants, many along the River Ouse. Surrounding it are the medieval city walls – the longest and best preserved in England – and many of the gates that once allowed access to the city.
Walk the walls for wonderful views towards the city and towering York Minster. Standing proud on a hill, this cavernous church is the seat of the Archbishop of York, the 2nd highest position in the Church of England.
A little south is The Shambles, a narrow street with medieval buildings that now house quaint shops. Going further back in time is the Jorvik Centre, a fascinating museum showcasing the city’s Viking remains. You can even have a go at archaeology yourself at the DIG excavation pits, with replica finds from York’s Roman, Viking, medieval and Victorian eras.
Other York attractions include the National Railway Museum, home to the Flying Scotsman and Mallard trains. Around 30 minutes’ drive away is Castle Howard, a stately home with over 1000 acres of grounds.
Leeds-Bradford Airport is the nearest airport, and there is a great range of hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in York and the outskirts available on Booking.com.
We enjoyed everything about our trip.
York Minster was awesome including the tower challenge and with the wife and I in our 70s, it was a challenge.
The railway museum is certainly a place to visit even if you're not a railway buff.
The York Castle museum and the Yorkshire museum are also places worth visiting, and don't miss out on the hop on hop off bus tour.
Places to eat are numerous and will suit any taste and pocket.

York is a busy but great place to visit.
York is a busy but great place to visit. An array of shops based in cobbled side streets and on main streets. Pubs galore and plenty of places to eat.
You can not go wrong here as there is something for everyone including river cruises, tours and walks and cycling.

Historic busy, many many places to visit.
Historic busy, many many places to visit. Tourist trap, and entrance fees to many attractions expensive especially with visitors with children
If you search around you can find "Pub price foods" otherwise eating is costly. York is a fine city to visit especially "The Minster" but again entrance fees are costly. Town heavily trading on its historic past.

Its a place with full of history and amazing sculptures and quiet city during weeks and busy during weekends. Best to take a trip of a mix like Thursday to Sunday. After leaving the city we feel like to go and visit one more time as we left something behind.

We stayed in York for 3 nights which is just right to view the city. A visit to York Minster is a must and do get a guide as the cathedral is steeped in history. Half of the stained glass windows in the UK are in York. For good pub food visit the historic Three Tuns (first licenced in 1782) - friendly, nice ambience and yummy Yorkshire Pudding. For those inclined, go round the city on the ‘Cat Hunt trail’ and find the cat statues scattered across the city!! Walks along the river and in the parks are pleasant too.

Lots of historic buildings and interesting history.
Lots of historic buildings and interesting history. Many pedestrianised areas full of lovely old streets to explore such as The Shambles. Loads of great restaurants and wonderful pubs! Excellent shops. York Minster and walking the city walls are obvious highlights. The Museum Gardens and park and the river are also beautiful. Very friendly locals. We had a highly enjoyable stay and would definitely return.
the hotel indigo was perfectly located just on the edge of the city centre with just a 10 minute walk to the shambles, parking is available, (for a small fee) and all the staff were just brilliant.
our room was amazing, (we did opt for a senior room) spotlessly clean and very comfortable!
Breakfast was included and there was loads to choose from and the full Yorkshire was amazing, there was also a varied hot menu available.
actually there was nothing we could say against this hotel and we had a wonderful weekend!!
thank you,
On arrival, we were offered complimentary drinks, and the reception staff were really friendly and helpful. The lady behind reception noticed I am heavily pregnant and kindly offered us a more accessible room. The room was clean and cosy, with plenty of tea and coffee and toiletries in the room. The location is fantastic for visiting York City centre. Once you're down the alleyway to the hotel and off the main street, you can't really hear any street noise. Could not fault the staff. They were so welcoming! Overall, a great find!
My husband and I have just enjoyed a wonderful few days in York on our honeymoon and had the pleasure of staying the Du Vin Hotel. From start to finish our stay has been fabulous and genuinely the best hotel we have ever stayed in. The staff are all so professional and pleasant and can’t do enough for you. Everything you wish for in a hotel, you get here on a 5 star level. They did a lovely job of making our stay extra special for our honeymoon too 💕
Rooms were very clean, comfy beds, nice showers. Very historical, charming building but rooms had all the modern amenities you'd need as well. Breakfast was wonderful and set us up well for a full day of touring. All staff were very kind and helpful throughout our stay. We really enjoyed our stay in beautiful, historical York and especially felt a warm welcome from this little boutique hotel.
The room was very well furnished and clean. The bathroom was also a very good size with a nice large shower. The tea and coffee in the room were replenished and the room was cleaned and beds made and towels changed which was very much appreciated. The staff were also friendly. The hotel was handy for the Jorvik Viking Centre, York Castle Museum, York Minster, Clifford Tower and the Shambles.
The hotel is in an excellent location for visitors to York, walking distance to various heritage sites. The building itself is very historic, charming and clean, I was upgraded to a junior suite (thank you) which gave a little more space for the 3 night visit. The room was comfortable and well serviced. Breakfast was nice, bar was pleasant and the staff were helpful.
The room was spacious with good amount of hanging space and a comfortable, large bed. Tea/ coffee/ biscuits provided. Easy to park and walking distance to city centre and all of York's offerings. Bar was reasonably priced and comfortable and the hotel has lots of additional comfortable seating space in it's public area and well kept gardens.
Helpful and friendly staff, comfortable bed, nicely decorated room, generous breakfast with lots of choice, electric car charging facilities. There is a pub nearby (The Plough) serving excellent food at reasonable prices. You can easily walk into York city centre from the hotel within 30 minutes along the river.
Great service, great location. Breakfast is plentiful with lots of choice. Rooms are lovely with lots of space. Beds are so comfortable! Didn't try the evening meals but great choice of dishes. Would highly recommend this hotel. Ideal location for exploring York. Close to train station and central York.
Two night stay for my Husbands's birthday.
Great location, spacious clean room, delicious food, all good!
One more thing to add, the staff are an asset to the hotel, welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly.
The concierge team were wonderful.
I would highly recommend staying here for a break in York.
We had a comfortable king bed in a decent sized room. Amenities for making morning coffee. The best location possible! The hotel is located within a house which is right across from the entrance to the Yorkshire Museum Gardens. Perfect location for everything we wanted to do.
Very quaint clean room in the heart of York, no more than ten minutes walk from excellent shopping, attractions and nightlight. Comfortable bed and good facilities, loved the biscuits and tea! Easy access to the hotel's excellent restaurant which serves delicious food.
Loved my stay here! I would book it instantly. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in a hotel which such character. the small details of choosing your soaps, and the entrance way, to the very comfortable beds and room decor.
Will only stay here when I visit York ❤️
Exceptional service by the wonderfully friendly staff. The hotel had character, the room was lovely and there were great little touches such as fresh milk, candles in the small courtyard and the availability of York Gin (only a few doubles were consumed)!
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean the rooms were clean too.
Very good breakfast!
The hotel is perfectly located as it is close to the train station and very close to the city centre with most of York’s attractions!
The atmosphere was authentic .. . and it was clearly a privately run hotel . . the staff was very friendly . . the location superb (on a walking distance from the city centre of York) . . and the rooms were comfortable
Room was just what we needed after a long drive and local visit. Explored locally in the evening appreciating the hotel's proximity to York city centre and all it's attractions.
The staff were so friendly and helpful. The hotel is in an excellent location to visit York and we thought our 'Churchill bunker'
themed room was so interesting.
