I panicked after I had already booked the hotel this weekend and read the reviews....Soooo relieved staff were fantastic, room beautiful, location could not be better for all the local shopping attractions bars & resteraunts.... Room service food is too expensive though. An old fashioned beautiful hotel, would highly recommend. More

My husband and I stayed here for two nights in August 2011 and had a lovely weekend away without the children!! The hotel is a lovely building-very grand and elegant our room at the front of the hotel was lovely-well equiped and comfy overlooking the gardens and York Minster. The breakfast was great with a choice of full english or... More

Elegant hotel full of character. Booked through Expedia and got a really good advance rate room only. Told hotel my husband and I were celebrating after our wedding reception the evening before (having married abroad before xmas) and were upgraded to Executive Garden View room which was spacious and well presented. Breakfast was fantastic. Great location next to station with... More

I really cannot find anything to fault about the hotel, except that it is a bit big and thus a little soulless. Fine old building with palatial public spaces, all very clean, staff attentive, good breakfasts, room recently refurbished, good location for all the York tourist attractions or shopping. And although it is not cheap, York prices are generally on... More

We spent two nights at The Royal York for our wedding anniversary. Such a beautiful hotel, worth wandering around just to look at its amazing original features. We arrived at 11 o'clock and asked if we could leave our case but were allowed to check in straight away as there was a room available. The room was well equipped, tastefully... More

Nothing particularly wrong with the hotel in general, very fine looking and fairly well looked after. Only problem was having a room at the top of the hotel and no lift. Didnt eat there so cant comment but the drinks were a bit pricey and they didnt do cocktails (probs couldnt afford them if they did!) the location is good,... More

There are some prices I refuse to pay. A 250 mL glass of sauvignon blanc for £7.75 as on 29 January 2012. I refuse to pay. No, no way. Funny story: The word went round last weekend that 80,000 bottles of wine had been ordered instead of 8000 bottles and so they were selling them at the 'special' half price... More

Myself and my fiance stayed here 21.1.12 just for the one night. We were not due to check in till 3pm but arrived at 1pm and found that there was no problem, the receptionist was very helpful and freindly and we were given a room on the second floor. The interior of this hotel and staircase is very grand, but... More
