The Grand, York, hotel in York

The 5-star Grand Hotel offers stylish rooms and a luxury vaulted spa.

Didn’t have breakfast as 50.00 for 2 seemed a little excessive and had a nice breakfast close to hotel for half the price. The staff were very friendly professional and helpful particular the door men who helped with parking. The room was huge for a city centre hotel and very comfortable with small details appreciated like Milton brown toiletries and Yorkshire shortbread fab bathroom too

    I think the price that I paid for the two nights is very fair when I researched the prices in York for various accommodation providers. Most important of all, when you say that Diamonds Lodge is close to the Hospital that is very true and is extremely helpful to me. I like the fact that, even though the furnishings in Room 5 are simple, the small touches of thoughtfulness eg personal tissues, clean towels, tea and coffee plus a soft easy chair for reading etc. Also most importantly the cleanliness by Shirrin. 5 Stars

    The Cow Kennels is top quality luxury accommodation and this is from someone who is incredibly fussy and stays in 5 star plus hotels. Host communication was brilliant and they provided a shower chair and handles for my parents to keep them safe. The beds huge and very comfortable, bathrooms luxurious and equipment great. The whole place was completely immaculate and woodburner starter kit provided inc logs, kindling and fire lighters. Enclosed garden overlooking a duck pond, parking outside the door - nothing not to like.

    The Manager or chef wasn't there, so all the running of the pub was done by Paul, but he was brilliant as he poured drinks, cleared tables, cooked food, showed people to rooms and dealt with any issues. 5 stars 🌟 for all that alone. The bed was nice and comfy and warm, linen also clean. Good selection of tea and coffee options. A nice view from the window but the A19 is a bit noisy but that can't be helped.
