If you’re visiting York by Rail this is a perfect mix of walkable close to the train station, while a walkable close to the old city, but also shielded from traffic noise, and the sounds of people having a good (but lout) time on the town. To top it all off there’s even a breakfast bar with all sorts of traditional English breakfast fare! This is my second visit and I’ll be back for sure.

A major flaw was that the only location in the room with both a mirror and an electric socket for hairdryer use was limited to a 4w desk lamp; unbelievable ! The room was clean and stylish although there was limited clothes storage and the mattress was uncomfortably hard.
