Moxy York

8/10 Good

"Nice, modern hotel in walking distance to many shops, restaurants and the wall"

The Grand, York

8/10 Good

"If you want a nice central stay, then this is one to consider. We had a couple of issues, which were resolved on the day. However, getting two bottles of sparkling water into the room seemed like a challenge, and being charged £16 for it felt like a lot, especially since they supplied only one bottle and charged for two, and the hotel already provides small bottles of still water. I was not expecting this to be charged, as I have experienced in other 5-star hotels."

Impossible Motel

8/10 Good

"My wife and I stayed in a suite on the second floor with a stand alone bathtub. The bath was a great feature but for the opulence of the room you'd expect a bigger sink (One of the tiny rectangular ones) not really in keeping with the standard and price. The bed was extremely big and comfortable, one of the best hotel beds we've stayed in. Location was extremely central but outside noise could be an issue for some (they do provide earplugs) The wifi was poor but that was a minor complaint. Overall it's an interesting place to stay for a night but it's overpriced for what it is."
