Stayed for the weekend in January 09. Unfortunately this was my worst experience of Novotel, in the main due to the building work going on which was very noisy and started early in the morning. However, the hotel was in need of some refurbishment and I guess it had to be done at some time, so I would consider staying... more

We stayed here for one night in the summer, managed to get a reasonable price for the room as it was a sunday night. The hotel looks better from the outside than the inside, but thats not to say the rooms aren't adequate. The location is quiet and only a few minutes walk into the centre. We ate at Oscar's... more

OK it was a low cost stay, with Tesco Vouchers. Staff at reception when we checked in were very friendly and helpful with suggestions as to where to go etc. Our room was excellent. Given it had a mini bar and referring to the web site I'd say it was a superior - hair dryer, iron and ironing board what... more

The title of my review says it all. I fell while trying to get out of my hotel room's very deep bathtub that had a high side to step over. The fact that this unusually deep tub did not have any grab bars didn't help one bit, and the lack of a non-slip bathmat just made the situation worse! I... more

We stayed at this hotel for two nights, on a dinner bed and breakfast basis, with our daughter (aged 5) in a normal room, consisting of a queen sized bed and sofa bed; the room was clean and equipped with all the essentials and there was a stylish shower room. The room was cramped with the sofa bed out -... more

Good enough for a short break. close to all amenities. Pricey unless you can get one of the deals regularly on offer. Clean rooms, but a bit shabby (carpets mainly).Staff friendly and helpful. Pool ok at off peak times. Otherwise too busy. Breakfast far too expensive @£15. Wetherspoons across the road does the full monty for £3.99. Main downside is... more

As we were travelling with 2 teenagers and a 5 year old the idea of a pool swung us in favour of this hotel. In the photos it looked like a decent size so we were very disappointed to find it was so small. It was also extremely packed but as we had promised our 5 year old we had... more

we stayed over the weekend of the 22nd august, we arrived at 10am as we wanted to spend a full day in york, i was aware that check in was 2pm but i went in to say i was leaving my car in the car park, after a quick check i was told that there was a superior room available... more

This hotel is about a 5/10 minute walk from york city centre. Arrived to be told there is a £5 parking charge. I despise all hotels which residents to park. However it is charged per 24 hours and is a lot more cheaper than some York city centre car parks for that time period. The hotel reception is fab with... more
