When you are 74 with arthritis you don't want to be on the 5th floor when the only lift breaks down, and cannot be repaired during the weekend. The staff did their best to help. There was no continental option, and at £9.75 English breakfast was very poor value. The hot buffet wasn't, the toast was hardly singed, and the... more

Chose to stay here for a 4 night break to leave the car alone and burn off some fat walking round York. Its a great location, maybe 4/5 minutes walk to start viewing and shopping. Contrary to what you might read in other reviews here , I thought the parking was ok, £20 for 4 days and nights so close... more

Firstly the car parking is of poor arrangements Secondly when you report the Electric shaving point in your bathroom is broken, the reception say it will get fixed, it does not. Thirdly the one lift was put out of use for the duration of our stay. Then when you go to sleep, you find the main window would not shut... more

I picked Hotel 53 for a two night stay based on previous reviews and value for money, and I wasn't disappointed. The hotel looks as it does in the pictures so contemporary decor and very clean.

this is the 4th time weve stayed, gradual improvement, huge room, very comfortable, 1st mornings breakfast very poor, food was left heated to long, but after that it was better. The 1 failing this place has is the "impersonal" touch. the foyer doesnt help. more

We have just returned from a 4 day break in York, staying in Hotel 53. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the location was great for us. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with lovely bathrooms with plenty of clean towels provided. The restaurant was nice, if a little pricey, and the breakfasts were very good. My only complaint about... more

we had a very good stay at the hotel, the staff are friendly and pleasant, the english breakfast was really good value for money, the room was clean and very modern and had everything you would need, we would go back to this hotel with no hesitation , thanks to all the staff for making us feel very welcome more

Hotel 53 certainly looks impressive on arrival with modern, stylish marble everywhere and professional staff. The rooms are good too with all the ameneties you would expect plus a very large bed (6 feet wide!). Flatscreen TV and a good shower and clean bathroom make for a very pleasant stay. I ordered room service as I arrive quite late and... more
