Brilliant hotel in the heart of things, love the dark setting with most of the lighting being from floor lights, really add to effect.
Couldn’t fault it really, only minor thing was you could t open the window, room was a little stuffy in the morning but this wouldn’t put me off staying again!
Staff were exceptional, credit to the hotel.
Thanks for a wonderful stay, see you again soon.

Our room was OK. The staff were helpful. Our room lost power at 10pm and ended up being the fan was tripping out the power. We weren’t able to shower because of this as the fan wouldn’t work and it was underground. The bar upstairs was quite loud. Overall pretty dissapointing because of the issue with the room.

Interesting and eclectic hotel in an ideal location in the wonderful city of York. Parking was a challenge though, and warnings about street noise were warranted. not recommended for anyone with accessibility challenges.

I personally loved the motel, unfortunately it was too dark for the wife. The noise from the bar/club was loud, but not bad enough to worry about. Location is amazing. Lots near by

Not luxury for thenprice
Small room, stuffy after taking a bath.
The hotel lacks the luxury you’d expect for this price tag.
