Top National Railway Museum Hotel Reviews

Radisson Hotel York

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff and clean rooms, occasional issue with drunks outside the carpark but these were dealt with pretty quickly. Would return."

The Grand, York

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. Would recommend"

The Milner York

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel with good facilities. Staff were friendly and helpful. I traveled to York by train, so the location of this hotel next to the station was perfect for me. I would definitely stay at this hotel again."

The Queens Hotel & Victoria Cloisters

8/10 Good

"This was a nice place to stay for a night in York. It is about a 10 minute walk to the train station, and a quick walk across the river to the heart of town. There are also plenty of shops and restaurants within a short walk. The room was good sized and clean and comfortable. The bathroom was very nice. Very good full English breakfast buffet. The only issue was that it didn't have AC and the room got very hot. We could open a window which worked nicely, but on the other side of the river is a night club that was very loud, so we couldn't keep the window open because of the noise. All we had to cool us off was a fan which worked ok, but not great. It was a Friday night, so that was probably worse than other nights with the noise. It was still a nice place."
