We stayed for five nights in June. At first the room seemed fine, being at the side of the hotel with some trees outside, rather than the road. Unfortunately we found it was above a noisy air conditioning fan which was on and off all night, and a side door with deliveries or collections with a rattling trolley starting before... more

My partner and I have always looked for 4* hotels in the past, but we booked Hotel 53 without knowing its rating (it wasn't given on the website we used) because we decided the photos and description made it look lovely. On arrival check-in was easy and the staff were all very friendly, car parking was secure (though more expensive... more

Booked one of the weekend savers - fantastic value and an excellent hotel. Glad ignored some of the earlier negative reviews as we would have missed out on a real find which we will use again many times. Very central, easy walk to shops/sights. Staff all very helpful and welcoming - restaurant very good with good breakfast and evening dinner.... more

We stayed at Hotel 53 for 2 nights, one of which was our wedding anniversary, and couldn't have had a better time. We got a great deal on this hotel on lastminute so were over the moon value wise. The hotel has parking ( you have to pay extra for it - one downside) which is conveniently situated across the... more

We traveled with 4 people in our group. They had a room with a double bed and 2 single beds that was perfect for us since it was a couple and then two separate guys. We told them the room would be good. They then told us that 4 people could not stay in the room so we would have... more

The room was small, it did not have A/C or a wardrobe, just 2 hooks on the wall and a high shelf, bed was uncomfortable, had to ask for an iron, shower was small, no soap dish, nowhere to store luggage. Did not have a small fridge only a shelf with a kettle and tea/coffee. We did not feel relaxed... more

We booked online for the first time, so this combined with having been to many other hotels which did not quite match up to their claims, this was such a pleasant experience, I phoned for directions on foot told by girl 3 mins from M&S it was in fact 3mins 20secs,not bad, when we arrived they actually expected us the... more

We chose this hotel for its location and the availability of a king-size bed, which was amazingly comfy. For a quick walk to York sights, the hotel was perfect- about 100 steps to the city wall, around the corner to popular sights. Front desk people were great. There were a few quirky things though: the shower, while beautiful, took a... more

Stayed here for one night over Easter, family room. Great checkin procedure at reception- friendly staff. Car parking facility available for £5 directly opposite hotel. Hotel room was spotlessly clean and a very good size for a family room - plenty of space for four of us not at all cramped and very warm! Hotel is idealy located within a... more
