From the moment you arrive you know the Royal York Hotel is something amazing. From the giant ferris wheel out front, to the fantastic Tempus Bar. There was an event going on when I stayed at the Royal York which kept Tempus Bar (Lobby Bar) packed until the early hours of the morning. I simply had a blast here. Great... More

Attended three day business conference. Arrived later than most 8pm, given room in sub-basement of conference building. Room obviously for a family one double two singles. Looked out immediately onto road and pathway. Windows where double glazed so noise low. Room modernised and clean and ok but not inviting due to location. Suggest avoiding rooms 5000 -5005. Plus point trouser... More

The boyfriend and I just returned for a wonderful nights stay at the Royal York. We were in town for the races and the Royal York provided the perfect environment to base ourselves for the weekend. The building itself is dripping in Victorian features and oozes charm and character. The staff couldn't have done more to make us feel at... More

I stayed here on business at the end of April and whilst the hotel was very convenient for the station, there were other problems. My room was 'miles' away from reception and had my colleague/friend not been in the next room I would have asked to move for a number of reasons.Firstly, I only found out at 7pm that the... More

I was disappointed that I did not receive a response from the management to my email regarding my concerns following mixed reviews prior to our anniversary break. However first impressions were hopeful as there is a lovely staircase rising out of the reception area. How disappointing to find the room was very small and tired looking with no drawers in... More

Just a quick review to sing the praises of this Hotel. Lovely, Victorian architecture and large open rooms and areas. Good self service breakfasts and a very good location - the city centre is only 2 mins walk away. Recommended !!

It is always expected that when staying at a 4* in England that you will have to pay premium. I paid £42.00 for two drinks and 2 Premium Burgers in the Bar whilst waiting for my room to be ready. Don't!! You pay up front and then when this meal is served you will be so disappointed. Enough said. The... More

From reading other reviews, there are clearly disparities in the experience based on what type of room the guests receive. Completely down to luck we were allocated a delightful room on the 2nd floor overlooking the station entrance, our relative was helpfully given the room next door. As we paid less than some other reviewers have been quoting and we... More

We booked very last minute for a two night stay, we booked an executive double room. I was unsure as some of the reviews on Trip Advisor were poor, but as soon as we entered the hotel I knew this was a great choice. We were checked in very efficiently and quickly, all public areas were well presented and very... More
