Having stayed in hotels throughout the UK this small and friendly hotel is definitely one of our favourites, and we would not stay anywhere else in York. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and extremely efficient. The whole place feels loved and cared for and is very well run with a high standard of decor and a big free... More

Stayed with friends for a long weekend, both had a large double en-suite on 1st floor. The rooms were clean, nice linens, towels etc and had a good range of teas and coffees and a nice bikkie for bedtime with your hot chocolate which was needed after a walk back on a cold crisp night. Hotel was a 10/15 minute... More

We stayed as a family of four between Christmas and New Year. Our room was lovely and the kids had their own seperate room which was also a really good size. It's a good ten minute walk into town but well worth it. The pool was an added bonus for us but it was a little chilly! The car park... More

We stopped here as a last minute evening away. A very good sized car park to rear of the hotel. It does seem very small from the front. The lady on reception was very friendly & took us to our room. We did book a double excutive room & paid a little more but was disappointed as the room we... More

We booked two different hotels in York. One we were disappointed in, but the Kilima was anything but a disappointment. The room was clean, inviting, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We were in room number 1; the four poster en suite. The only downside were the squeaky floors, but in an old building, that is to be... More

I was visiting York on business and needed a hotel for the outskirts rather than city centre. The Kilima was a great location as it gave me terrific access out to the A1(M) but only a 10 min walk into the heart of the city. The hotel has plenty of free parking at the rear, a lovely quiet location with... More

We booked the KIlima as the other Best Western properties in York were both full and we had a two night Dinner Bed and Breakfast voucher to use . We were a little put of on arrival by the location and the fact the hotel was more like a large house but we really enjoyed our stay ! Its a... More

Had a sudden need to be in York. Other hotels I normally stay in were expensive due to an event going on. Picked Kilima from BW as they normally have good hotels. Arrived late made very welcome, room was clean and spacious. Quiet location room at the back so no road noise. The bar was great with proper beer, pity... More

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this hotel and I'm pleased to say it has retained all of the qualities that we loved the 1st time around. The food and wine in the restaurant is lovely if you don't fancy going into the city centre and all of the staff are very friendly and accommodating. There's a... More
