Probably the nicest hotel I’ve stayed in in the uk. Location was perfect 30 secs walk from train station and 10 min walk straight into city centre. We had the best views from our room straight out over the garden and city and the catherdral. Room was huge and comfortable. The whole hotel was glorious and staff were welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was yummy I would definitely come back here again .

Great location, right next to train station and couple of minutes walk in to the centre. Hotel was beautiful, very impressed. Staff all very helpful and friendly. Room was lovely. A couple of hairs and a bit of dust in the bathroom, so could have been better, but was by no means dirty. Would definitely go back

After arriving we left our bags and went to the city centre. Returning we collected our bags, and went to our room which was on the 2nd floor facing the garden. I'd previously ordered a fruit plate and chocolates which were waiting for us. The room was lovely and warm, the bathroom clean and a towel swan waiting on the bed. There are notices asking to turn off lights when not needed and to reuse the towels if possible. If you require a dressing gown you have to ask them. There were teas, coffees, biscuits etc but no decaf drinks (which were necessary because of medication) so i asked at reception and got some off them. We both ate breakfasts and evening meals there and the choices were good for both. The staff are very helpful and friendly and you can ask them for anything. We had such a lovely relaxing break, and it's lovely that you feel so welcomed.

Stayed on a junior suite, nicely decorated, beautiful reception/lounge areas with nice tipi in the garden area. Central location for visiting York markets. Slight issue in the bathroom but didn’t spend much time in the room.

The hotel in it's self is lovely. We did not book in for dinner when we went to the restaurant we were turned away being told they were not talking walk ins. We returned to the bar and booked a table on line! Rather wished we had not bothered the person in charge was very off hand. We waited 20 mins for someone to take a food order only because we ask them to take the order. 30 mins later the food arrived, the two steaks were ordered medium rare, both were seriously over cooked. We refused the food, no apology was made by the manager he just asked if we wanted another meal, we replied no and he walked away. A young waiter called Ewan came over to apologise. It feels very much like staff don't really want to be there at all none of them seem to be happy. We would not return.

For a 4*, hotel was grandly decorated but that was it as the service lacked in lots of areas. Staff were not very attentive and my husband and I had to clear our own table in the Garden Room then ordered a Cream Tea which in the menu was supposed to have been loose leaf but was t bags and tepid water and then had to wait a further 25mins for the scones which we did have 2 of but only enough cream and name for one. Our bed room had just enough room to walk around the bed which was a small double (husband is 6ft 8) and moved on it’s wheel every time someone rolled over and of course woke the other one didn’t sleep much over the 2 day stay, We had booked a table in the Peaches restaurant for the first night which was expensive for what was actually average food unfortunately and again the waiters just plonked the dishes down in front of us and walked off. Would not stay again.

Beautiful hotel but room in the wing was a little small and not very well organised- like no side table, small bed and couldn’t easily open shower screen over bath!

This hotel has recently been renamed The Milner and we have stayed here before but this last trip fell short on our expectations.
Pillows were very uncomfortable and water pressure in taps were just a trickle.
We paid extra for breakfast, waste of money!
Help yourself to barely warm hot breakfast and empty hot plates.
Honestly very disappointing.

Our room was a Sidings double and when we arrived our room was cold and the thermostat broken, we were offered a portable radiator rather than a change of room. We asked to move and this was arranged although we would have expected our bags to have been moved and this didn't happen. We asked to upgrade and were told this wasn't possible even though we would have paid for this. Our room was noisy with an alarm of some kind going off at 6am for an hour and the cistern was also running meaning we didn't have the hoped for sleep in we were looking forward to.
Overall, staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was good with plenty of choice.

Room nice. Linen gorgeous. But only 2 on reception and no porter made it a lengthy check in n poor service.
The men’s toilet I then went to stunk and was dirty.
Very disappointing as I brought my partner her for her 49th b’day.

Beautiful spot to stay in an amazing location! Be prepared to carry suitcases up stairs on arrival at main doors and no ramp. Bellman not available or seldom.
