The Milner York
The room was clean and the staff were very friendly. At breakfast there was a good selection of food if you arrived early but not much choice towards the end of service. In the evening my preferred chouce of meal had sold out.

Malmaison York
Nice hotel. Good location. The ‘mood lighting’ meant the room was very dark including the bathroom area that was part of the main room so not great for applying makeup, contact lenses etc.
