I was booked into this hotel by my employer whilst I attended a work course in York. The location to the station is fantastic and the hotel and grounds appear impressive. Check in was efficient although no information about leisure facilities restaurant times etc. I was allocated room 103 and the room was OK, nothing special by any stretch and... More

Run-down, not very clean looking, big room but very close to railway tracks so kept awake by noise. Shabby but not in a chic way.

There is no understating the impressive size of this hotel, it's clearly a classy building, this is why the room in some ways was such a disappointment, on the plus side the room was incredibly spacious and the en suite good and clean, the shower was okay. Due to the wet weather when we were there the radiators were certainly... More

The Royal Hotel in York is a grand railway hotel in the tradition of a past century, but the hotel has been well modernized. We found it be be very comfortable, with a helpful staff and a splendid location. It is only a few steps from trackside at one of Britian's finest Victorian railway stations, and within easy walking distance... More

My boyfriend surprised me with a two day trip to York (My Fav city) in August 2011... well what can I say it was a truly beautiful hotel in an even more beautiful City. Oozing wealth and sophisticated elegance the hotel lived up to its website. Pulling into the hotel we found the car park to be small, but I... More

Just had one night at The Royal York. First time we have stayed and not the last. We try to visit York each year and now we will only stay at this hotel. Reception staff, bar staff, breakfast staff so pleasant and friendly. Great location. Received complimentary upgrade which was very nice, lovely view of the Minster and the Park... More

The only plus point of this hotel is that it is right next door to the station, so it is very handy if you have an early morning train, as I did. The hotel is very run down, my room was TINY, very hot, with no way of cooling it down, the window opened about an inch. No fan in... More

After a recent 2 night stay at this not so cheap hotel, I personally feel that it is not worth £159 per night. We booked a month in advance and requested an upper floor. We arrived to get a basement room that was very dark and dingy. One window looked right out onto the Post Office sorting depot... they start... More

Arrived for a special occasion with my parents for their anniversary and my 4 yr old son. The rooms we stayed at were lovely and think the check in staff did their best to provide one of the nicer rooms due to the occasion. All staff we encountered were wonderful especially in the restaurant in the evening who did their... More
