Short stay but couldn't ask for better! Just a 5min walk from the Minster which means you can walk everywhere, this will truly make it seem like you go back in time! Room was spacious, had everything you needed and the bed was super comfortable. Breakfast is delicious! Staff is fabulous, ready to welcome you always with a nice smile even if you're arriving late at night! When we come back to York, we'll stay here again!
