Hampton by Hilton York Piccadilly

10/10 Excellent

"Fantasticly clean, well kept and friendly staff. The breakfast has a great variety of pastries, cereal to a full English. The bar is well stocked with a good variety of drinks and the bar menu is a great addition. Free WiFi is excellent. Only downfall was the height of the bed as my mum struggled to get up off it but we managed and it didn't damper our stay. We love it here and will return as we have before. "

Hampton by Hilton York

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous place to stay. Great staff on reception and in the dining area. Professional and friendly. "
