Spent two nights in the Royal York and, to be honest, it was a bit of a let down. Many of the negative comments previously posted are sadly, very accurate so if you haven't booked and are currently thinking about choosing it, please take note of them!! I would suggest anyone who does choose to stay here, only does so... more

A superb hotel where I usually stay when I visit York. The setting is lovely and some rooms have a garden view. I often get upgraded to a better room when the hotel isn't full and the staff are really helpful and pleasant. The only downside is some of the rooms can be really hot. On a very cold January... more

I wanted to spend an easter weekend at a real grand hotel and looking at the pictures on the net I'd imagined so much more from this hotel. It wasn't at all bad but it just felt like any average hotel that we could have booked for half the price. The rooms were clean and big but we looked out... more

We stayed for a weekend break. Phoned the hotel to book and requested an upgraded room overlooking the gardens. We could just about see the gardens as we were in a room at the end of the hotel near the station. I would have been satisfied with the room if I'd booked through laterooms/expedia and paid a lower rate, it... more

It's such a shame that this hotel is in such awful condition, it could an absolute gold mine if the owners could be bothered to respect their customers. The owners should take a trip to the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh (where we stayed the following night), they could learn alot about running a Station Hotel! The location is fantastic especially... more

We stayed here for a family party at the hotel, which I must add was a great venue. The plus points are: that the hotel looks very grand, has a great location for the town, is ideal if you travel by train as the station is next door, the breakfast is good and the bar is very nice (though a... more

As a child I always wanted to visit this grand looking Hotel, so some years later I booked a night for my husband and I as a Christmas present to ourselves. We arrived before check in but were able to put our luggage in the Conceirges Room. First impressions were good the staff were friendly and the reception area very... more
