Top York City Walls Hotel Reviews

Radisson Hotel York

8/10 Good

"Cosy room equals extremely small room but otherwise ok"

Hampton by Hilton York Piccadilly

8/10 Good

"The very spacious bathroom, and bedroom, only criticisms are the lack of clothes storage, wardrobe was tiny with 6 hangers ,there were no drawers for clothing only 2 shelves, the room had more than enough space for a bit more storage furniture, the breakfast was nice but not warm enough, the self service coffee machine at breakfast didn't work, other than that it was ok, but for £120 a night I wouldn't stay there again"

The Milner York

10/10 Excellent

"Grand hotel in a Lovely location. Staff always very friendly. Cleanliness of hotel communal areas and room good. Breakfast choice excellent"

Novotel York Centre

10/10 Excellent

"The room was cleaned up well and enough space for a family. Staff was really kind and supportive."

Hilton York

8/10 Good

"Only reason I didn’t give a 5 star is because the check staff tried to charge me for a booking I had already paid for - good job I was on the ball and had a receipt to prove. Room was great (albeit hot) and breakfast was also great, lovely restaurant staff, would definitely recommend and location was also a bonus."

Judges Court

10/10 Excellent

"Very well located! Parking is a bit far."

Middletons Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Ideally situated. A few minutes walk to the city walls & one street back from river & bridge to city centre. Cosy double room was exactly that! Stayed 2 nights. Quiet peaceful room. Coffee pods & coffee bags plus choice tea bags along with small bottle of fresh milk. Great shower room. Air con adjustable in room, though it cut off after a few hours. Quite hot throughout the night as quilt was also heavy.Breakfast had many choices, cooked & continental. Friendly attentive staff throughout. Able to park car prior to check in and offered to use car park after check out. Parking charge £15 a day. Would stay again, thoroughly recommend this hotel."

Impossible Motel

10/10 Excellent

"This was the best place I stayed at on my 10 day UK adventure. The room was gorgeous, the bed was sooooo comfortable, and the staff were so very kind. The only down side was no free breakfast but can’t expect everything to be spectacular."

Holiday Inn York City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and prepared on arrival and checking in"
