"We had a junior suite which was large. The room was clean but we noticed the hotel could do with some maintenance /upgrade. Carpet looked a bit old and the shower handles kept sticking. We had to ask for help. Staff are very good and excellent breakfast."

Our room was clean and spacious with a kettle to make hot drinks, you can also get unlimited coffee, tea, sugar and milk in reception which is useful. There was a large selection to choose from for breakfast, the cooked breakfast was all nice and warm. Parking is free but make sure you enter your car reg on the iPad in reception.

"Upon arrival we were advised that we had received a complimentary upgrade to a suite, which was lovely as we were visiting York for our wedding anniversary. Room was lovely and clean, the bathroom was huge and very clean. Hotel bar was very nice, lots of choice for drinks, lovely seating area with a great atmosphere. We also had breakfast great choices available, help your self tea and coffee and fruit juices. Novotel York is a great base for exploring the town, about 5-10 minute walk away, you can also walk alongside the river which is lovely. Would definitely recommend and we will be staying again"

"The staff ‘made’ our stay. Everyone was so friendly and took the time to have proper conversations with us. We were very well looked after and we felt that nothing was too much trouble for them. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts and noted that individual variations to the set menu were totally acceptable. We were impressed with the accessibility of the toilets and lift on the ground floor and our accessible room was ideal for our needs."
