Poor room service, inadequate parking, untrained staff, I wish I had used travel lodge or premier inn . The only thing going for this hotel is location, definitely not what you would expect from Hilton😡

We were due to stay for 4 nights from Sunday 1st Nov, however due to the new COVID-19 lockdown we were advised on arrival that we could only stay for 3 nights, understandable and not their fault. Then we were told we could only stay for 2 nights but they would move us to The Hilton again not their fault. The staff at the DoubleTree by Hilton were amazing and so accommodating, helpful and apologetic. They even paid for the taxi to take us to The Hilton. The rooms at the DoubleTree by Hilton are beautiful, we couldn’t fault anything, our deluxe double was huge and the bathroom was very modern. The staff at breakfast were lovely especially Becky. The only downside is the parking at £13 per night, but it was easy enough to pay to park at Sainsbury’s for £20 for the duration just round the corner. We will definitely return to the DoubleTree by Hilton in the future. The Hilton though was another matter, nothing good about the stay there, avoid!! Thank you DoubleTree by Hilton for our pleasant stay.…

Just come back from York yesterday, firstly the good point about the hotel is its location near York Minster. When we arrived at reception I had booked 2 separate rooms, they only had one but luckily I produced my paperwork to prove what I had booked and paid for, they said the hotel was full but managed to get us 2 rooms next to each other but we had to come back later. They also said that breakfast was not included but we had also paid for that which now we wish we had not as it was the worst breakfast even experienced in a hotel or B&B. The breakfast was cold, eggs hard, tomatoes undercooked, mushrooms stone cold, toast not cooked and so hard you could not cut it with a knife, juices in warm little cartons with straws like you would put in a school packed lunch. No fruit salad, coffee week. The staff were very nice and drinks in bar lounge were good. Because of COVID the rooms were not served and not enough tissues or toilet paper left for 3 nights. The room was spacious but very dark, the lighting was poor apart from the bathroom. We enjoyed our stay in York but the hotel should address these issues.…

Dear dianekR2672PS, Thank you for posting a review of your stay on Tripadvisor. I am sure you can appreciate the impact the epidemic has had on our industry, and the fact that whilst hotels have re-opened, our offering and approaches have changed due to many factors, including epidemic legislation and guidance, our COVID risk assessment, reduced staffing levels, and reduced service from our own suppliers, reacting to the epidemic and reopening after closure. Thank you for your feedback regarding breakfast. I was sorry to read you were disappointed by our offering. We planned our breakfast product very carefully following our re-opening, with a section of grab items that are in individual wrappers, and a selection of items that are served to you by our breakfast team. I am sure you can appreciate, we are unable to offer the range of items pre-covid due to limited space. I have taken your feedback onboard. I will review our buffet unit with the breakfast team in order to ensure the food temperature improves, and will also share your feedback with the chef. I was glad to read you enjoyed the hotels location, and the staff. I was sorry to read there were some issues with your reservation. Unfortunately, I can only see your TripAdviser profile, and would need more information to search for your reservation details. I would believe this booking would have been made through a third party. We have since lock down been experiencing some issues with bookings coming through into our systems. I am pleased these issues were resolved. Thank you for your feedback which is always important, as it is a vital way of reviewing the level of service and facilities we provide our guests so as to make improvements. I truly appreciate the time and effort taken to communicate your points to us. Your sincerely, Martin R Bradnam General Manager

Well where to actually start with this hotel, I suppose I should have took notice of the other reviews. Please take this review seriously, I do not believe in condemning a hotel for a few mistakes BUT this management team need to make serious changes here. I booked this hotel to celebrate a belated 60th birthday last year, I was going to stay at another hotel but cancelled to stay here. We booked a deluxe room, when we checked in we were asked to book a slot for breakfast, which we did also leave a card to be charged, and given 2 key cards told where the room was and off we went. Where did we go for breakfast ? Which way was the town centre ? No info at all in the rooms not a leaflet nothing. The room was bland nothing what so ever deluxe about it a smack window that didn’t open an iron and a board a kettle a safe that’s it it was nothing like the pictures at all. At 11.15pm electric went off I rang down to reception and to give them there due Ash and the other chap on the desk were great so we had to move rooms we were given a family room which the two double beds were great. The floor mega mega creaks oh my god never heard anything like it anyway the tap dripped most of the night and the traffic so loud anyway we never slept most of the night. I went to see the duty manager next morning she was very apologetic and said my bill will be compensated for. The next morning we went to breakfast 9.20pm.the queue was fairly long but we queued got our breakfast served by the staff was ok nothing to write home about. We have been here 5 days and no housekeeping has been even though I was told Twice it would be. I happened to see the cleaner and was able to empty the bins myself! She gladly gave us fresh towels that was it. Oh and I was given 2 loo rolls to carry from reception not what you expect from a 4 star hotel. Would I stop here again no I wouldn’t would I recommend it no I wouldn’t the staff seem nice enough, but nice isn’t enough it’s shambolic to say the least and the competition is strong they need to improve before it goes to the wall and I for 1 won’t be sorry but only for the staff who try .…

Dear woodbank66, Thank you for posting a review of your stay on Tripadvisor. I am sure you can appreciate the impact the epidemic has had on our industry, and the fact that whilst hotels have re-opened, our offering and approaches have changed due to many factors, including epidemic legislation and guidance, our COVID risk assessment, reduced staffing levels, and reduced service from our own suppliers, reacting to the epidemic and reopening after closure. I appreciate and understand your comments relating to literature in the room. As part of our cleanstay approach, we have removed as much literature around the building, and in the bedrooms as possible. In our Deluxe rooms, we have reduced the supplement priced from £25.00 to £10.00, but we have reduced the amenity items we place in these rooms. I was pleased to hear of the support and service received by Ash, and Alex, and will certainly pass this on for you, and I am sorry the electric outage resulted in a room move during the night. Thank you for your feedback about the alternative room you stayed in. I was sorry that you were disturbed by the noise you experienced, but glad you reported it during your stay, and the Duty Manager reacted to this. I appreciate your comments relating to breakfast. 9.20am is during our peak breakfast time, which of course will be busy. We display a traffic light system around the hotel to encourage guests to choose a different time slot. We do have to limit the number of guests in the dining room at different times, to maintain social distancing, and in line with our COVID risk assessment. I am sure you can appreciate we have had to reduce down our breakfast choice at this moment in time. As part of cleanstay, we try to not enter a guests personal space. However, where guests request a room clean, we can facilitate this. Out housekeeping department is outsourced. I am sorry there was a misunderstanding and your room was not serviced as you expected. Woodbank66, I appreciate your feedback. The hospitality sector is recovering from a major health epidemic that closed many hotels. I speak to many of my colleagues, and other General Managers around the city. We are all working hard with our teams under extenuating circumstances, to rebuild and plan the recovery of our properties. I take on board your feedback, and note your expectations. Thank you for your feedback which is always important, as it is a vital way of reviewing the level of service and facilities we provide our guests so as to make improvements. I truly appreciate the time and effort taken to communicate your points to us. Your sincerely, Martin R Bradnam General Manager

The hotel’s food was expensive for a small amount. Breakfast was poorly served with a long buffet que. Once finally served the the bacon was undercooked, sausage was raw and toast cold. The milk urn ran out of milk and was not filled up for 45 minutes. After watching the staff it became obvious that they weren’t coping with the influx of guests, I suspect that this is because they weren’t trained to cope with the COVID restrictions. Such a shame to get the simple basics wrong because the room was clean and tidy and well presented
