Top City Centre Hotel Reviews

Radisson Hotel York

6/10 Okay

"Average hotel in good location."

Moxy York

8/10 Good

"The hotel has a modern/hip vibe, starting with the lobby which is centered around the bar that also serves as the check-in desk. This is where breakfast is served. The room was modern, well maintained and functional, but a little tight on space for 2-people with large suitcases. There is no closet or draws (a few coat-hooks) and so plan to live out of your suitcases. It is well located a short distance from the Shambles, Minster and other attractions. It is also close to many shops, pubs, a restaurants. Overall, it was a good choice. One thing that we didn't like was that the rooms don't have safes and the hotel safe is a room safe located behind the bar. We had passports and valuables in zip-lock bags, to which thay added a sticky-note with our room number on and didn't provide us with a receipt."

Galtres Lodge Hotel

6/10 Okay

"The positives: This hotel is in a GREAT location, and the staff was friendly. The included breakfast was nice. The negatives: The room was the tiniest room I have EVER seen in my life - no place to even leave a suitcase open. The bed was the only place with room to open it, so I had to get out what I wanted and zip it back up each time. If that had been the only issue, I would be rating this better, however, this room was FILTHY, with huge piles of dust and giant wads of other people's hair all over the floor and shower. The room had definitely not been dusted, swept, or vacuumed in a very long time. The kettle was so caked with grime, it was unusable. Also note: no AC and no lift"

Hampton by Hilton York Piccadilly

8/10 Good

"Nice central location, rooms clean and very quiet. However the rooms lack space for clothing only a small rail rack, the bed was extremely hard and was not very comfortable. Nice big TV and a fridge in the room and shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body lotion in the bathroom. We did struggle connecting to the hotel wifi. Breakfast was good, nice selection to set you up for the day. Overall a great place to stay for a short stay in York. Parking not on site, but just over the road we used Just Park (pre book) £42 Friday midday to Sunday midday."

Hilton York

10/10 Excellent

"I have a sever peanut and nut allergy and the staff did an excellent job of making sure I felt safe and reassured from the moment I booked the room. All the staff was absolutely lovely and so helpful! Location was also very central to all the touristy stuff which made it excellent after a long day because you didn’t have to walk too far."
