    Das Hotel ist von außen altehrwürdig. Durch die vielen "Caution" Schilder in den ungepflegten Fenstern dachten wir erst, wir sollten wegen Baufälligkeit nicht näher treten.Die "Caution" Schilder wiesen aber auf die 24stündige Kameraüberwachung hin. Das Innere war ebenfalls bedrückend. Verwinkelte Flure, schiefe Böden, die Zimmertür knarrte wie im Gruselfilm. Die Sauberkeit des Teppichbodens, der Gästecouch und der Tagesdecke veranlassten uns, bloß mit nichts in Berührung zu kommen. Die Fliesen im Badezimmer waren z.T. abgefallen und der Versuch sie anzukleben führte dazu, dass im ganzen Bad Kleber verschmiert war. Der junge studentische Nachtportier war freundlich, während das "normale" Personal sehr unpersönlich agierte. Ein weiterer Aufenthalt dort muss nicht noch einmal sein.

    When we arrived it transpired that the hotel had made a mistake with our booking and had booked a double and a twin room instead of a twin and a family. However, the staff were very apologetic and went out of their way to apologise and to compensate us for the inconvenience. It was eventually possible to squeeze a Z-bed into the double room, and they upgraded us from room only to B&B, and also threw in dinner in the restaurant. We were impressed by the way they handled the mistake and fel that the compensation offered was very fair.

    The room was adequate & tidy although could do with refurbishment, especially the cramped en-suite bathroom. Parking was advertised as included in the price, however upon arriving we were notified that parking was very limited & if all spaces were taken the only alternative was a pay car park off site.

    The breakfast buffet was packed away on our arrival to the dining room (which was half an hour before breakfast was due to end), hardly giving us a chance to help ourselves to anything. This is far from hospitable. The room was very small. The reception area and common areas were pleasant. Overall, an average stay.

    I was surprised with the reception, because they asked us to pay in advance. They didn´t have places to keep the luggages in case of travelling later, althoug this is possible in the train station.

    This hotel was filthy. Years of grime had built up in the rooms and bathrooms in particular. It was probably a lovely hotel 20 years ago but has not been looked after. Cleaners don't do a very good job. Asked that the teapot be washed and it came back in exactly the same state that I sent it in. I had to scrape the grime from it before using it!! Rooms are noisy and we were led to believe from your website that breakfast was included which it wasn't so I would like some form of compensation as we then had to pay extra to have breakfast. I wouldn't recommend the hotel to anyone else, apart from recommending that they find somewhere else!!

    Decent hotel, has more character than most. Is a 10-15 minute walk from most of tourist-York, but in good weather, it's mostly a nice walk. About £3.50 taxi ride from the train station, so easy to get to. No left luggage service, which is very inconvenient...we had to pay £8 at the train station for two bags, as checkout is at 11am and out train was not until 4pm. Rooms are no better or worse than you would expect in any hotel that's reasonably old, clean enough, but beds not the best we've alept on.
