The hotel was comfortable and the breakfast was of good quality. Staff were overall friendly and efficient but the staff member was going to charge me for two breakfasts. I had to point out to him that I only had one breakfast.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were lovely and very helpful, convenient location for the city's many attractions. The bed in the double room was a touch on the small side and my wife and I are quite small physically. I didn't like having to provide a £30 security deposit when I arrived, especially as I had prepaid for the room and breakfast. I have never been asked for a security deposit at any other hotel I have stayed at.

Great place and spot

This was a nice place, comfy bed, good shower and towels ( full size ) not the half size some places have. Breakfast was good, walking distance to so many sites and food and drink. We would definitely stay here again

The staff were all excellent. Very friendly and helpful. The property is a little older than most Holiday Inns I've been to but very comfortable. Breakfast was good. I was disappointed that catering in the evening was very limited - my own fault for not checking when booking. Plenty of eating options close by

Average.

Staff very friendly and welcoming. Room was very small considering what we paid for our 2-night stay and could do with a freshen up decoratively. Didn't eat in the hotel so cant comment on the food. There are much better hotels in York for the price paid.
