5/5 Excellent
"The Hilton York was very good. The staff was extremely helpful with information, walking navigation, highlights of the city. We were only there for one night and we got to see a lot of York and eat in some very nice restaurants. York is very beautiful. The room was fine, nothing to report that was a problem. I would recommend this hotel and York. "
