Hampton by Hilton York

Prós: Great facilities and wonderful breakfast.

Contras: Had a problem with the elevator stopping unexpectedly between floors.

Prós: Location was great for exploring central York. We were facing the back of the hotel so no noise from the road or Bar across the road could be heard

Contras: The selection of drinks at the bar could have been a little wider.

Superb. Excellent location from rail station and also central location. Real value for money.

Prós: Everything really from the friendly staff, nice room and in particular the quality and choice for breakfast. Cannot fault it.

Contras: No

was surprised @ happy how organised breakfast was.

Prós: location

Contras: no complaints.

Would definitely stay here again.

Prós: The room was spotlessly clean. Cleanest bathroom I have ever seen! The location was excellent to walk into the centre of York. Allowed to check in early and also to leave our bags when checking out to collect later. Very friendly staff.

Contras: No

This hotel was well positioned for us, just inside the city walls and across the river from most sightseeing destinations. It's not on a main road so there is little traffic noise at all. We travelled by train and it is only a short walking distance from the station. A good 15 minute walk got us into most of York's attractions, but could be a little far for anyone with mobility problems. All staff were cheery, chatty and helpful but please sort out the map photocopying problem, it was no help to us as we couldn't read it as the quality was so poor. Our room was comfortable, extremely clean, with a quirky wardrobe door which doubled as the bathroom door (when the bathroom door was closed, the wardrobe was open). There was a safe, television with good choice of channels tea and coffee and free wifi. We enjoyed breakfasts with a good choice of cold or cooked food. I can't see what more choice anyone could want apart from perhaps more fresh fruit rather than frozen. Although we didn't use the gym we had a quick look and it seemed to have the usual choice of equipment but seemed somewhat underused. I would definitely recommend the Hampton by Hilton and it would be my first choice hotel next time I visit York.

Prós: Friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The room was spotlessly clean and the beds were comfortable and large - the two twins were actually two double beds. Large choice at breakfast.

Contras: Only two very small gripes - the tap on our washbasin was in slightly the wrong place so that if water was turned on gently it ran onto the marble surround. The photocopied map of York we were given was unreadable.
