I felt compelled to write a review based on some of the unfair critisism. I stayed here with my girlfriend, we had a fantastic time, superb location, the food was exceptional, the staff and service was courteous, thoughtful and polite and I felt truely welcomed. I would come again and strongly recommend the hotel. Now, I must add, the hotel... more

We arrived at the Galtres and after seeing the room turned immediately around and left . It was tiny, ill-appointed, and musty smelling. The shower was so small, an average person could not turn around in it. The photos on their web site are NOTHING like the actual room. We weren't even allowed to keep our own key. We were... more

Excellent location! Right near the Minster and for my partner (a sweet tooth), right next to a candy shop and a fudge shop. 10-15-minute walk from the train station. Room was very clean. A little more expensive than places we normally stay in (hostels and smaller B&B) but we wanted to treat ourselves this trip. We stayed in the room... more

Looking on the website it says the hotel is "a Georgian brick building, with heating throughout, sympathetically restored in such a way as to retain the warmth and character of the original house" you might be forgiven for thinking, as we did, that our rooms were to be of Georgian style and a bit special. Anaglypta wallpaper throughout, paintwork that... more

about the place. Expectations were met. I thought it would be a B&B so I planned on the small room (very comfortable). Location, location, location. It had it all. I was there to see York and got to see the sights. The staff was more than helpful and the food was great. The size and the small discomforts were overshadowed... more

We decided on Galtres Lodge due to it's location and the photos on the website. However, when we arrived we realised we had been duped by excellent photography. The first problem was the hotel reception doubled as the restaurant bar and was crowded on our arrival by staff and diners. Once we were given our room keys we were given... more

our arrival was hampered by struggling to find the place which is "central" however its tucked away down a small street which is hard to access by car. The car park for the hotel was full and it took us longer to sort the parking out than it did to drive the 2 and a half hours from our home.... more

Myself and my husband have just arrived back from a 2 night stay at The Galtres lodge hotel, for my 40th Birthday. I must point out a couple of problems on arrival at the hotel. Firstly the hotel did advertise that parking would be available at a nearby pub for the duration of our stay, on arriving at the car... more

My husband & I stayed at the Galtres Lodge at the beginning of October 2008. It is a wonderful location from which to explore the city of York. It is literally a step or two from the Minster. There are a variety of bars, cafes and resturants nearby. The Galtres is situated in amongst the little cobbled streets and staying... more
