Malmaison York
Great Family Room was like having your own apartment. Breakfast was nice, bacon and black pudding were a little over done. Shower could have been warmer. But overall great stay will definitely stay again.

Hampton by Hilton York Piccadilly
The hotel was lovely and clean but the best thing about it was the staff. Every member we met wasn't just attentive but seemed genuinely concerned with making our stay as pleasant and trouble free as possible. My endearing memory will be the smiles of every one of them we met. You should be proud ...
