This was our second time at the Blue Rooms and it is still easy to see why it is rated so highly as everything is first class. The champagne and fruit bowl in the room, the fluffy towels and dressing gowns, the Moulton Brown toiletries,the huge roll top bath, the fully equipped kitchen and a fridge full of breakfast goods,...

Really enjoyed this special little appartment... we had appartment number 5 complete with windows overlooking the river, four poster bed and roll top bath...! it's such a nice place, wtih great touches like, fruit bowls, champagne and a 'cook your own' breakfast! After breakfast we fed the ducks from a balcony window with the remaining bread. I get the feeling... More

Wonderful accommodation and several little extras which made everything so special. The owners have clearly thought about what they offer. The choice of drinks, the quality of the breakfast and how it is presented, the tea & coffee making facilities, all the kitchen utensils, the space available, etc etc Having stayed in hundreds of hotels over my 19 years at...

We arrived early and the room was ready, we were warmly greeted and shown to our room and the convenient parking outside. The photos on the web site do not do this room justice (room 5), it was beautiful, spotlessly clean and great extras including champagne, fruit bowl, mineral water, etc. The contential breakfast was lovely. The view and the... More

Have just spent a wonderful weekend at The Blue Rooms, staying in the Fosse Room. I booked the weekend for my partners birthday and he really enjoyed it. The room was just perfect. It had everything we could have wanted. A welcome break for both of us, away from pets, the kids and life in general. For anyone thinking of... More

Whilst I too would like to keep the Blue Rooms a secret I would hate to deny anyone the pleasure that we had staying there...WHAT more can I add to the views of the last reviewer. It certainly has the WOW factor, is in an excellent location in central York, the facilities in the rooms/suites are second to none and... More

For the reasons set out below, I disputed the bill with the Blue Rooms due to sub-standard facilities. I offered 300 not 350 pounds, which the Blue Rooms declined. Within 24 hours, they had reported the matter to the local police, from whom I received a telephone call. What kind of "hotel" does this when you are willing to pay... More

The Blue Rooms were recommended to me as 'the best rooms in York' and exceeded the high expectations we formed. We stayed in the Maisonette which would be absolutely perfect for a family and suited us - two couples sharing - just fine. These rooms will certainly top my list for future stays in York, in fact we enjoyed the... More

The room we stayed in (No 4) was lovely with a four poster bed, views of the river and roll top bath. However, it is difficult to check in as the restaurant was closed, the staff were not overly helpful, and the restaurant was a major disappointment. Having eaten at the restaurant several years before it seems that that overall... More
