"Loved the breakfasts—lots of choices. The hosts were lovely. The room was spotless and the bed was comfortable. It was an easy walk to restaurants, pubs and York City Center. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!

"The hotel is located very close to restaurants, pubs, and a beautiful park right across the street. It’s walkable into the city center with many beautiful sites and attractions."
"The host was very kind and helpful. The Barbican is located just outside the wall, which is brilliant, as inside the walls is quite noisy until very late. We would definitely stay here again!

"Comfortable rooms above historic pub very close to everything in the York downtown. Great breakfast (with lots of good choices) & large nicely landscaped beer garden connected to the pub."
"The B&B was very conveniently situated a short walk from the city centre. Parking with an EV charging point, useful for us to top up our car.
Staff were all very friendly and courteous, highly recommended."

The Grand, York
10/10 Excellent
"I stayed here a long time ago when it was in soft-opening mode. I didn't know there were newer additions to the hotel, and I wish I'd known to book a room in main building with high ceiling."
"The property is well located for a stay in York, convenient for the train station and also for access to the city centre.
It was clean and the room was well appointed.
Lovely roof top bar giving a view across the city.
Breakfast was good."
"In a really good position for getting into the city, with many bars and restaurants very close by, parking onsite is a little expensive (in my opinion) £25 per night. We found a parking spot 5 minutes walk away for £9 overnight, other than that definitely recommend this hotel."
"I enjoyed my stay - the hotel staff were fantastic, and the massage I booked was out of this world! My room was less than spacious, though the ceiling was very high which helped it feel bigger (and the four poster bed was fab). I loved the help-yourself pantry, and the skin and hair products were lovely."
"We stayed one night at The Milner York and absolutely loved it. The location was perfect—just a short walk from the city walls and everything we wanted to explore. Our room was beautifully appointed, quiet, and full of character, with thoughtful touches that made us feel truly welcome. The staff were kind and attentive, and the whole atmosphere felt charming and peaceful. We’d happily stay here again on our next visit to York!"
