Top 5-Star Hotels in York

Brilliant experience. What a great hotel. The rooms are spacious, clean and kept to a very high standard. Free access to the spa is a really plus!

When I checked in yesterday, the woman at the desk was so kind and helpful. My room was amazing! The hotel was amazing! I was so comfortable that I slept through breakfast and checked out at 11:00. I had hoped to leave early morning for site seeing, but I was just so comfortable. When I got to the desk to check out, I tried to express how much I loved the hotel, but the lady at the desk interrupted me and asked for payment. I tapped my card and tried to finish what I was saying, but then she yelled the payment was denied. I then insert my card and try to tell her yet again that I loved the hotel, but she interrupted me again and said, ”Here's your copy.” SO RUDE! She could care less! Sad that I had her to contend with on my way out from my lovely stay.

The urban areas of small British cities are not large. This is an authentic-sized hotel. One side should be by the river. It is within walking distance of major attractions, including the train station, so it is very convenient. The hotel is good in all aspects. The only drawback is that the room I was assigned faces the side of the road where Mill House is located. The cars passing by in the morning were very noisy and I couldn't sleep in. The double-layer soundproof glass may not be used.

My wife and I stayed for 2 nights and were drawn in by reputation and quality of the other principal hotels across the country. I was shocked to read so many bad reviews and almost booked somewhere else as a result. It seems most of the intolerant previous residents had issues with noise, smells. food, rooms, service. We didn’t experience any of that and can only conclude that most of the reviews are either planted as false information by competitors or result of warm summer, outdoor bar or questionable views / aspect of room. We stayed in a king on 3rd floor, room 300. If you’re worried about anything just book that one! Tasteful clean decor and great views to the minster. Notable comments for James who went above and beyond to sort out a small issue with audio description hardcoded into the TV, sorted smoothly and efficiently. Great location, atmosphere and setting. We will be back with our dog next time. Don’t believe everything you read from dissolutioned guests who want a megaphone to comment on perceived issues.

Myself, my son (11 years) and our puppy Hugo and my parents had the privilege of staying in this hotel for 2 nights whilst we had a 2 day city break in York. The staff are extremely welcoming, so friendly, happy to help and fun. The reception area is awesome with so many games and books to read we never had a dull moment. The staff were so good with Hugo, which was a bonus that we could bring our puppy and feel so welcome we would love to come back and stay. The beds are so comfy, massive flat screen tv in rooms, lovely showers and really cool deign in rooms we loved it. The staff really went out of there way too help in anyway they would and gave us a really friendly Advice in where to go too to eat and see th sights of York. Our room was cleaned beautifully and we enjoyed sitting out in the courtyard for our complimentary drinks on our last night. Wonderful ! What more can you ask for :) thanks everyone you made it very special for us all :)

The hotel is very cozy, the room and bed are very comfortable, and the breakfast is rich. Especially recommended here in York, very close to many attractions. There are many restaurants and cafes around.

Very quirky hotel. Booked a normal cosy room but was upgraded because we were gold members, to 2 room family room. I am 6 foot 1 and it was difficult because I was constantly wary of my overhead space. It was a cool concept though and the floor space was good. It was the quirkiest Hilton I've stayed in. The bar area was pleasant but it was crowded due to some unforeseen circumstances for the hotel- many coaches arrived with many American tourists. We felt a bit 'ignored' because of the number of people. This also led us to not have a seat at the restaurant for dinner. Had a few draught beers out of stock at the bar but it was ok. Breaktfast was very good, usual Hilton standard. No complaints there. The parking was very very tight, I appreciate that it is pretty much in the city centre. I can say this hilton is better than the Hilton York one next to Cliffords tower by miles.

We booked this hotel for a 3 day get away to York. The hotel is well situated off Tadcaster Road, near a woodland path which leads to York racecourse, so is very popular for those who go to the horse racing. Free parking is given on the hotel’s ground, but be warned make sure you go to reception and put in your car registration details in their computerised system otherwise you will be issued with a parking fine from the company who operates CCTV monitoring for the hotel. We booked the hotel through the IHG website, as an IHG Gold member we were given an option of an early checkin for a fee of £20.00 and an upgrade of £45.00. We took advantage of both offers, subject to availability on arrival. Unfortunately this wasn’t possible on arrival, and we weren’t able to check in until nearly 3pm. We were given the upgrade of a room on the top floor. The room had a small fridge with complimentary water and a chocolate bar, slippers, and dressing gowns. The toiletries, conditioner, shampoo, body lotion, are all in fixed to the wall containers. The bath room had a large walk in shower which was quite powerful, but space to hang towels, put personal toiletries was very minimal, and I was thankful that I took a plastic shoe type hold-all and a suction hook which I attached to the shower door to put our toiletries in, otherwise they would have cluttered the sink area. The bathroom was very small, and the door needs to be closed to get any room to do what is necessary in the bathroom. We booked a deal of dinner bed and breakfast. This was a disaster. We went for dinner and just about everything on the menu wasn’t available. Eventually we ordered a burger and chips. After about 30 minutes the food arrived. It was the worse burger and chips I have ever tasted. The burger was burnt on the outside, raw in the middle, the bun was burnt, the chips were very brown, which tasted of fat. We picked at the food as we were so hungry but it wasn’t nice, and hardly edible, in fact what I ate made me feel quite sick afterwards. We complained to reception, who apologised, and said that chefs in York were really hard to employ, and offered to refund the dinner to our account. We said that if this was the case, we would rather not eat dinner in the hotel, and could they please refund the dinner portion from our account for the rest of the stay. We had breakfast for the next 3 mornings, but it wasn’t marvellous, often dishes weren’t refilled when emptied. Some staff didn’t seem to know what they were doing, and others didn’t seem to be that bothered, or concerned, about the guests in the hotel, possibly some more customer service training could be beneficial all round. For the remainder of the stay we ate our evening meal in the pub across the road, which was really good. We felt that the standard of the hotel has deteriorated since we were there a couple of years ago. Would we go back? Possibly not, unless standards improved, and the hotel gets a m
