We were rather worried about the hotel after reading some of reviews and would agee that the rooms are small, very dated and the kindest decription of the decor is 'tired' and the restaurant was very dark - not romantically dark, just very dimly lit with very little daylight as it is in the basement. Our en-suite was very small... more

My boyfriend and I have just returned from The Newington Hotel after a 2 night stay as part of a romantic getaway. He booked it after seeing the very glossy Newington Hotel website. I don't normally write reviews about places I've stayed but I felt compelled to do so after the experience we had. Driving up to the hotel I... more

We were a little apprehensive about staying here after reading some of the reviews. We needn't have worried. Although the rooms were a little dated, they were clean. This family run hotel couldn't have been more friendlier from the reception staff, cleaners, restaurant manager to the handy man. We have already booked up to stay here again as we are... more

After reading reviews of poor service, value and accomodation, I was truely dreading the weekend. We arrived earlier than expected and I was fully prepared to be told (rudely) to wait (as per a prior review) However, nothing could... more

I stayed at the Newington last night (Saturday 8th August) after a long search of York hotels and not being able to find anything. Check-in was smooth, our rooms were out in the coach house across the car park, the walls were pretty thin and I could hear general conversation through the walls however on the plus side it was... more

I stayed at the Newington Hotel one night with an EF Tour Group. My room mate and I received a room in the coach house. There was no elevator and compared to the other rooms we saw, it was rather large. The building was very old. The bathroom was modern and everything we needed was provided in the room. We... more
