Check in was a very pleasant experience. We took advantage of the luggage check and on return to the hotel for check in our bags had been delivered to our room. We were even showed to our room, a nice touch. Room was very clean and the bed comfortable. A million dollar view from our room across a quiet street. Would definitely stay again.

Always come back to Jorvik if possible - staff are friendly. Rooms cozy and comfortable. We were in a junior suite this time and apart from the long climb to the top of the property was just what we needed.

The room was delightfully and tastefully modern, clean, spacious and comfortable. The location is brilliant for walking into the city core, but far enough away to be totally quiet. We loved it for our compressed day in York.

Location amazing. Beautiful clean bright spacious rooms. The only issue we faced is we couldn’t get the water temperature in the shower to turn down from boiling hot.

Had an issue with our room regarding a noise in the wall that started at 5am and continued we were moved next door which was quieter, wish we had known about the construction going on right outside the windows and start at 8am on weekends. Great location, and walkable into the centre, very convenient long stay public carpark just around the corner.
