We stayed at the Priory 25 Jan 2008. We have been coming to this hotel since we celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary 5 years ago. Since that time we have been joined by my husband's guide dog Alex and we are always made more than welcome. Over the last 5 years we have brought our children with us. They in... more

I dont know what place the other negative reviews are talking about, me and my husband enjoyed an overnight stay recently and it was excellent. The welcome we got was like one from an old friend. The room was toasty warm and pleasantly decorated. Yes the bedspreads were flowery but who cares? We went along with my parents who have... more

The priory offers a great place to stay close to the city centre, the rooms are spacious, very clean and furnished tastefully. The beds were comfortable and lots of space to put clothes away. A good breakfast served in a friendly dinning room. The Staff were helpful and friendly. All in all a great place to stay Congratulations to all... more

I stayed in this hotel for my birthday in May this year and hold it with great affection, I loved the setting, there was a pretty walk into town away from traffic and fumes and the staff were all lovely to us. The hotel is in a victorian house and there has been an attempt to keep the theme with... more

We have just returned from a weekend stay at the Priory. The hotel is magnificent and the staff where incredibley friendly. (Nothing was to much) As a family of two young boys, I would recommend the friendly staff approach. To say that it is more than a ten minute walk from the centre is not true, even with my two... more

My husband and I stayed in this hotel for one night in October. Once I got into the room I wanted nothing more than to get out and started to plan on how late we could stay out in York - to avoid spending more time than necessary in the room. Awful, dirty carpet and furniture. Carpeted bathroom. I couln`t... more

To start with how does a hotel like this achieve 4 diamond award as stated on the brochure front?............. When was this last reviewed? The room had a ripped cover on one bed (in two places) and the bed dipped. The hospitality tray had mug that can only be described as coming from the railway station- thick, white and cracked.... more

I would not go back to this B&B as the rooms smelt of smoke. I tried two rooms and they were both as smokey. As a non-smoker I would not go back. It was a very functional establishment and I felt it lacked charm or warmth. more

My friend and I stayed at the hotel during our Christmas shopping trip we were there for 4 nights. The room was over furnished as it was only small and in the attic. There were 2 single beds, wardrobe and (goodness knows why as there was no room) 2 arm chairs. The bathroom window was cracked and the bedroom and... more

Management response from
purplelilybet, Proprietor

Thank you for your comments. We always endeavour improve our rooms based on constructive critisism The room in question has been refurbished and a lot more space has been created. I am sorry that the room was cold, we was not told of this and would have made adjustments if we had been informed immediatly.
