The hotel upgraded my room for free which was very welcome. The whole ambience of the hotel was calm and polished. The food in the conference dinner we had was delicious. And it's 1 minute walk from the railway station, with views of the Minster. I'll book again :-)

My room was splendid - large, with a handsome 4-poster bed
The no.7 York Park and Ride bus stops right outside the hotel; a bonus, as I had expected to have to drive to the nearest Park and Ride location. The receptionist told me this, and gave me a useful printed timetable/map.

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.

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.

I've been to York before.
I've been to York before. I only stayed this time as I wanted to visit Castle Howard and was unable to within a day due to their limited opening times. I was glad I was leaving on Saturday though as the hen parties were arriving. How to put someone off a place in one go.

I just loved all the stuff you can do. Most of the things I did were history based, but the chocolate tour from the York Cocoa Works was very informative and just a bit different.
Not sure the Van Gogh Experience was really worth it, though it was interesting as a small museum.
I used a York Pass which made it significantly cheaper to do things and also meant that I didn't need to think about costs of the activities while I was there. It also meant that I was able to squeeze in extra stuff when I had the time.

Lots to do in this vibrant City, something for everyone and good transport links if you want to go further afield. If you're calorie counting don't step into a bakery as the choice of freshly baked buns and cakes is fabulous. I recommend you try a curd tart and a blondie!
Comfortable, spacey apartment, very quiet even though York was extremely busy. Secure gated area & controlled entry to the flats. Practically across the road from the train station & only a short walk from the main city centre. Easy to follow instructions on how to find the key box & directions to the flats. Great value for money compared to what hotels are charging. It's great to have a whole apartment rather than being stuck in a single hotel room, especially when it's for more than 1 night.
The hotel was lovely we went for my daughters hen party there was 14 of us. The hotel was situated in a lovely area of York a short taxi ride into the city centre. The pub next door the grey mare was very helpful with taxi numbers and where to go while we were staying there. Only 1 complaint there wasn’t enough bedding the sofa bed didn’t have a duvet and when one of the girls rang they said they couldn’t bring one until the office opened on Monday and we we’re checking out on the Sunday.
Lovely hotel very close to the gates of old York. The staff is exceptional, very kind and helpful. They serve good breakfast and they have a restaurant, and beer garden where they serve pizza. We enjoyed pizza in the beer garden when we arrived and it was very good. We had a family room which was good size and quite comfortable. Good shower and beds. We would stay here again.
Great hotel, the staff where really friendly. We chose this one because breakfast was included and the rooms where a good size. Breakfast was good. Our room also had a jacuzzi bath and a four poster bed. There was also parking round the back. It was about a 40minute walk into the centre of York and there was a nice pub down the road. We would stay here again.
The location suited us for convenience. I have slight mobility issues so a hotel close to the city centre was the key factor booking this hotel. The room was fine and breakfast offered plenty of choice. The late night bar was welcome. All staff were friendly and professional. We will certainly stay in this hotel again when we visit York.
Great hotel which is perfectly located for getting around all the major attractions. Rooms are lovely and clean. Breakfast was excellent and very good value. What really makes this hotel is the Staff each and every one of them were friendly and helpful and next time we return to York we will definitely stay there again.
After 28 days of traveling and staying in a wide range of places The Dean Court in York was wonderful! It was about 37 degrees and we had a room with air conditioning they showed us around the hotel and brought ice and water to the room. Just those small gestures and I felt pampered! My bed was wonderfully comfortable.
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.
The room was clean and lovely the staff were very friendly and the location was great could not fault it at all . The breakfast was nice too could not fault it . Wish I had booked two nights xx definitely recommend the hotel . Will be back best one we have stayed in York x
The hotel is lovely, my room was clean and comfortable, and the host was really friendly. The location is good, just about 10 minutes from the gorgeous city centre of York. I enjoyed the stay very much, and I am sad that I could not afford to stay longer.
As aways, the room was spotless and had everything that we required.
The bed was very comfortable and the black-out curtains ensured a good nights sleep.
The hotel is ideally situated for functions at the York Barbican and Picadilly
Great location, secure parking a major plus.
normally stay in a hotel when visiting York. but decided to try an apartment. was not disappointed and the extra room was excellent and more relaxing. would highly recommend this property.
The breakfast was well presented and served by pleasant waitresses/waiters in short service time.
The location of the Hotel, right next to York's Grand Hotel could not have been better situated for access to the City Centre.
Better than expected for a Budget hotel just 3 miles away from York. Breakfast was good and staff very friendly. Pub next door and carvery which was average. Good parking and room was good.
One of the best hotels in York.
Specially its location stay there and no need for transportation walk and enjoy York city 👍
Rooms are wonderful and big 👍
Previously we had stayed at Hampton by Hilton in Bath, which was excellent.
The York hotel had similar facilities and was in a good city centre location.
Perfect hotel for a few nights away in York. Near the city centre and shops. Comfortable, clean room. I would highly recommend staying here. Will be back
