Enjoy the collegiate vibe at University of York during your stay in Heslington. Discover the lively bars and fascinating museums in this walkable area.
Medieval walls encircle a city where Viking history and Gothic splendor await at Jorvik Centre and York Minster. Wander the Shambles' tilting timber-framed shops before climbing Clifford's Tower for views that locals insist are best at sunset.
York Castle Museum is amazing- well worth the entry fee as was York Minster. Enoteca Italian restuarant in Bridge Strret very good - best meal we had. Found eating out in York very expensive (average £22-£25) for a main course with no veg. or extras.

You like history? York has that in spades. You could easily spend all day in the Minster alone, and as for the Shambles.... Beautiful. Ghost walks a plenty and haunted pubs. Go visit the cell Dick Turpin occupied at the York Museum. Plenty to do

There is so much to do and so much to see in and around York. The city is steeped in fascinating history. We really enjoyed walking round the city walls but it would have been good to have plaques along the way saying what we were looking at.

The bars and restaurants are amazing, shopping is good with the quirky little shops. Lovely walk around the walls. Valhalla is a bar to visit just to get a Viking experience, stone rises bar for a good ding along and tomahawks steak house

York is beatiful! Historic buildings everywhere you look. Very pedestrian friendly and easy to visit. Take note that it's a very small city and everything closes early - 8.30pm. Make reservations at restaurants as they fill up quickly.

Walking around the wall was excellent. I would highly recommend the bus tour, and also do a ghost hunt. York is very popular, and was very busy when we were there. There is plenty to see and do, and lots of nice places to eat.
"Clean comfortable room, all requirements met , tissues hair dryer, iron
Whilst eating breakfast did notice through the window that the outside patio area needed a good sweep . Friendly polite staff very helpful and they smiled !!"
"Was pleasantly surprised by hotel, room was nice, rooftop bar a bonus although there was an unpleasant smell drifting into rooftop from somewhere. Breakfast service and food was excellent. Would stay again and hope the smell was a one off"
"The reception staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making check-in smooth and pleasant. The room was clean and well-maintained upon arrival, and the service the next day was truly impressive. Housekeeping did a fantastic job — they cleaned thoroughly, changed the bed linen, and neatly organised everything in the room while we were out.
I had booked a King Size Room with a City View. While the room itself was comfortable and spacious, the view was a bit underwhelming as it included a nearby construction site with a noticeable pile of sand just a few meters below. That was the only slight letdown in an otherwise pleasant stay.
Aside from that, everything was superb — excellent service, cleanliness, and a comfortable stay overall. Thank you to the team for the warm hospitality!"
"Comfortable room in which you could actually control the AC for hot or cold. Rare! And the breakfast was very good, lots of choices and well prepared and presented. I’d stay again definitely"
